The Filter: Top Albums of 2010 (First quarter)THE FILTER: TOP ALBUMS OF 2010 (First Quarter)

 2010 is shaping up to be an exceptional year for music. Now that we are done with the first quarter, here are our picks for the Top Albums of the year (so far).

 

Causers of This by Toro Y MoiCausers of This by Toro Y Moi
The debut album of Columbia, SC native, Chazwick Bundick, is one of the most addicting albums I have ever listened to. Toro Y Moi's unique sound is classified as "chillwave", reminiscent of a more upbeat Ernest Greene (Washed Out). His album takes you on a trip you don't ever want to end, from the catchy, pop sound of "Blessa" to the nouveau new wave sound of "Causers of This".
The Filter Picks: "Blessa", "Minors", "Talamak", "You Hid"

An Interview WIth Bac Nguyen

An interview with bac nguyenWear Elastic Pants.  That is the best advice I can offer if you decide to eat at Bắc, Tremont’s newest bistro.  Opening their doors this February, Bắc adds appetizing Asian and Asian-accented dishes within a relaxed dining atmosphere to one of Cleveland’s food hotspots.  Your happy reviewer has eaten there four times.

Bắc is divided into two sections.  The entrance opens onto a long granite bar with classy and understated décor.  The light is soft, but not dark.  Modern music plays low for conversation, and is interesting enough that I inquired about the artist.  Purse and coat hooks span the length of the bar; thank you, thank you, thank you!  The bartender, Chris, not only changed the channel on the large screen TV at my request, but also bothered to explain the several Asian-inspired cocktails.  My dinner partner expressed excitement over the Oriental flavors used in the drinks.  From childhood, she remembered her mother cooking with the same ingredients, such as lychee fruit and hot Sriracha. Chris also relayed the reason for including Pabst Blue Ribbon beer on the drink list: a goal of Bắc is to eliminate any notion of pretension.  If you feel adventurous try a Cha-Yen cocktail, flavored with chrysanthemum tea and Thai spice syrup.  If not, sit back and sip a PBR.
