Pitchfork: Decemberists, Hold Steady, Interpol Pen Indie Recipes

Decemberists, Hold Steady, Interpol Pen Indie Recipes
Plus: Death Cab, Franz, Devendra, Belle & Sebastian, Walkmen, My Morning Jacket

Though we indie rock writers subsist on a combination of Chipotle and take-out thai, turns out the indie rockers we cover are deft with the self-styled num-nums. At least, that's the contention of Kara Zuaro's I Like Food, Food Tastes Good, a collection of recipes and various munchie-miscellany from the likes of Interpol, the Hold Steady, the Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie, and over 100 others.

Peep the ingredient list from Devendra Banhart's contribution:

"RIGHT ON!!!!!!
here is my favorite recipe for:
AFRICANAS RICAS!
you shall require!
many bananas!
a box of graham crackers!!!
two eggs!!!
SOUR CREAM!!
HONEY!"

Right on, indeed.

Other I Like Food contributors include Belle & Sebastian, Grizzly Bear, Franz Ferdinand, Ted Leo, the Mountain Goats, My Morning Jacket, the Walkmen, Camera Obscura, Battles, Okkervil River, Drive-By Truckers, Shonen Knife, Smoosh, They Might Be Giants, and the Violent Femmes.

The book sees release tomorrow, April 24, with a string of events to go with it. There'll be a happy hour at Manhattan's Hi Fi (at which the Hold Steady's Galen Polivka is bartender) Wednesday (April 25), a release party at Union Pool May 5, and a May 17 in-store performance event at the Brooklyn Barnes & Noble.
