  • Courtney Barnett Drops New Song About Ramen

    Australian rocker Courtney Barnett has just released a new track, and it’s an ode to everyone’s favorite cheap meal.

    Her Melbourne-based Milk Records has dropped “Three Packs A Day”, a wonderful little song about instant ramen.

    No, not cigarettes. Ramen. Barnett is known for her clever song titles, so this shouldn’t come as a surprise.

    “Boil it up, water in the sauce pan / In a cup, drink it from a silver spoon,” she sings.

    “That MSG tastes good to me / I disagree with all your whining / It can’t be true that they use glue to / Keep the noodles stuck together / Two minutes seems like a lifetime / In my tongue, patience is a virtue.”

    Check out the new track below:

    “Three Packs a Day” will be featured on an upcoming compilations album called Good For You, which will also contain tracks from Fraser A Gorman, Ouch My Face, Jen Cloher, East Brunswick All Girls Choir and The Finks. It lands on Valentine’s Day.

    Based on the strength of her debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, Barnett has been nominated for Best New Artist at the 2016 Grammys.

  • I Would Not Use This Anti-Loneliness Ramen Bowl, But It’s Still Pretty Neat

    I’m probably never going to buy this new anti-loneliness ramen bowl. It’s not because I don’t like ramen. I love ramen. I really, really love ramen. It’s also not because I’m not lonely at times. Who isn’t? It’s also not because I don’t approve of our global dependency on constant stimulation from our mobile devices, even while we eat. Let’s be honest, I’m on reddit during well over half my meals.

    It’s actually because I’m just an embarrassingly sloppy noodle slurper. I would splash porky, miso-y juice all over my device. It wouldn’t be pretty.

    Design company MisoSoupDesign unveiled their idea for a hands-free iPhone dock ramen bowl back in November, but it’s just now gaining traction on the interwebs.

    The ramen bowl, dubbed the “Anti-loneliness” bowl, allows noodle eaters to slurp while browsing the web. Or while watching a movie, or whatever else noodle eaters like to do when they are eating. The design is simple, but useful.

    Just a few minutes ago, in a Facebook post, the company said that due to all of the interest in the ramen bowl they are currently accepting a limited number of pre-orders. You can express your interest by sending them a Facebook message or shooting them an email.
