Year in Food & Music

The Year in Food & Music

CARLOS FORSTER

December 19, 2012 Colby Mancasola
  

Carlos Forster’s recent album Family Trees was produced by M. Ward and features a guest appearance by Jonathan Richman.

What was the food highlight of your year?

My favorite has to be San Tung in the Sunset (San Francisco). Love the Dry-Fried chicken and Potstickers. Feel like crap after I eat it though.

What was the music highlight of your year? 

My favorite record of the year would be John Murry’s “The Graceless Age”. Very heartbreaking record. Other that that, I’ve been listening to “154” from Wire, Brian Eno, and Angelo Badalamenti (the Twin Peaks music guy).

Was there a moment when food and music came together in a memorable way?

Thought about this for a while and can’t think of anything in particular. I had a pulled-pork sandwich watching this great loopy-type band from Sacramento called “Pregnant”. That was cool. Sometimes I’ll be sitting in the cafe in the morning drinking coffee and hear a song like “Send in the Clowns” and get kind of happy!
