I sometimes have people write me asking for tabs or sheet music for my songs. I never have any, because I use a form of shorthand I made up a long time ago, and it’s no help to anyone but me. So I figured the easiest way around this was to shoot a series of little tutorials in my kitchen, or in my shed. I’ve never done this before, so I’m not sure how clear or concise I’ll be, but I’ll do my best. If you’d like to request a tutorial for a specific song, write me an e-mail through my website (www.radicalface.com) and I’ll add it to the list.

Please subscrobe The White Stripes In the Cold, Cold Night I saw you standing in the corner On the edge of a burning light I saw you standing in the corner Come to me again in the cold, cold night You make me feel a little older Like a full grown woman might But when you’re gone I grow colder Come to me again in the cold, cold night I see you walking by my front door I hear the creaking of the kitchen floor I don’t care what other people say I’m going to love you, anyway Come to me again in the cold, cold night I can’t stand it any longer I need the fuel to make my fire burn bright So don’t fight it any longer Come to me again in the cold, cold night And I know that you feel it too When my skin turns into glue You will know that it’s warm inside And you’ll come run to me, in the cold, cold night

Dire Straits were a British rock band, formed by Mark Knopfler (vocals and lead guitar), his younger brother David Knopfler (rhythm guitar and vocals), John Illsley (bass guitar and vocals), and Pick Withers (drums and percussion), and managed by Ed Bicknell, active between 1977 and 1995. Although the band was formed in an era when punk rock was at the forefront, Dire Straits played a more conventional style, albeit with a stripped-down sound that appealed to audiences weary of the overproduced stadium rock of the 1970s. In their early days, Mark and David requested that pub owners turn down their sound so that patrons could converse while the band played, an indication of their unassuming demeanor. Despite this oddly self-effacing approach to rock and roll, Dire Straits soon became hugely successful, with their first album going multi-platinum globally. ________________________________________ Now look at them yo-yo’s that’s the way you do it You play the guitar on the MTV That ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it Money for nothin’ and chicks for free Now that ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it Lemme tell ya them guys ain’t dumb Maybe get a blister on your little finger Maybe get a blister on your thumb We gotta install microwave ovens Custom kitchen deliveries We gotta move these refrigerators We gotta move these colour TV’s See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup Yeah buddy that’s his own hair That little faggot got his own jet airplane That little …

www.maangchi.com Mapa tofu is also called “mapo tofu” or “mapo doufu.” It’s one of the most popular Chinese-Korean dishes in Korea along with jjajangmyeon (blackbean noodles) and tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork/beef). Koreans call this dish “mapadubu.” Every family seems to have their own version of mapadubu. I use chicken breast but you could use pork or beef.
