THE CURATOR: Soft flowing sounds, starting riots and Streisand!

Every Tuesday, Critical Mass pokes around the blog world so you don't have to. Uwishunu Mmm...cheesecake gelato. — Find that warm 'n fuzzy-Philly-friendly feeling in Birdie Busch's new cover track "City of Brotherly Love," spotlighted by Philebrity; they're big Birdie fans and take her new EP, Everyone Will Take You, as a shining example of why the female singer- songwriter's soft flowing sounds are only getting better. Listen to her song here. — On the subject of feel good Philly sensory experiences, can anyone imagine gelato Philly style? Chances are you guessed it involved cheesecake. Now swirl in a little — or hell a lot of Amarino cherries and some Brotherly love. And what have we? Behold, Capogiro's Philadelphia XOXO flavor, spotlighted by Uwishunu. It's being served all around the city. Yum. — Flickgrrl has loads of love for Streisand. I mean, who doesn't? In preparation for QFest's Barbrapalooza, a three-day festival of non-stop Streisand shenanigans, check out this nice recap and reflection on why we still dig this lady so much. You may learn something new. — Phrequency fondly tracks a Fishtown stencil bandit who apparently wants to "Start Riots." Not so sure about the originality of the message, especially given our much more pragmatic revolutionary youths: the flash mobbers.
