Here’s a snippet of the Drowned In Sound review of the song: “North American Scum comes on like a 21st Century impressionist painting of early Talking Heads, sharpened, hardened and reshaped out of modern electro. It’s sparse, funky, driving, and as catchy as hell. The song is angular like The Knack, and when the bass line kicks in I defy you not to bob your head like a Weeble in a car chase.”
For me, the song is a great NYC walking song and it really hit home for me with the following lyric…
“New York’s the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent
and it’s the furthest you can live from the government
some proud American Christians might disagree
but New York’s the only place we’re keeping them off the street”
Amen, brother.

St. Barth. Oops…almost forgot to post this little clip. Who is coming to St. Barth? Could it be a famous comedian? Well, I guess even Ricky Gervais may need a rental car, too! Or perhaps it’s Carl?

Here’s our landing into St. Martin airport, coming back from St. Barth on a WinAir prop plane. You can hear the automated voice counting down the altitude…500, 400, 300…

WinAir prop plane seats about 20 people.

St. Barth. Taking off from the St. Barth airport is always fun…and the view is beautiful.

St. Barth. Standing on the hill above the airport runway, I shot this video showing just how close you can get to the planes as they land. A little scary!

St. Barth. This is the place we stayed…Salines Garden Cottages. As the name implies, we were very close to Grand Saline (our favorite beach by far) and we had our own private cottage. As you can see from the video, there was a lovely little pool area, where breakfast was served every day (baguette and jam, coffee, and orange juice). I recommend this place highly…the rates were affordable and the owners were friendly and attentive. (http://www.salinesgarden.com)
