Untitled: Mattis's anti-usn rant
State the thesis in the first paragraph: USN teaches you not to think.
For those who don’t know me, my name is Mattis Deutch. I just graduated and I think it’s a good opportunity to finally put in writing some things I’ve wanted to say for a while. I was going to write a very serious, angry…

Madame Psychosis: Bandwiches!
Oh my god! My Obie adopted lil sis Zoe got inspired and made a bunch of Bandwiches (sandwiches themes around bands)! In. LOVE. With all of this. AMAZING.
Today, I was faced with a day at one of the least interesting museums I know of (sorry, Williamstown!) However, before we headed to that museum, which shall not be named in this post so you can pass your own judgements on it should you ever be in Williamstown, the family and I ate lunch at Pappa Charlie’s Deli with its huge board of celebrity sandwiches. (No celebrities were harmed in the making of their lunches.) I ate a Neil Patrick Harris sandwich — grilled chicken, BBQ sauce, mustard and coleslaw on a hard roll — and approved of it highly.
To kill time at that museum, this musicophile/DJ/music snob got inspired by the Pappa Charlie’s sandwich board and Ma’ayan Plaut’s Adjective Sandwiches (posted about here and here) and decided to think up some…bandwiches. Now where are my test eaters? I can’t eat half of these anymore because of my no-red-meat diet.
The first batch:
Beatles: Turkey or Tofurkey (depending on vegetarian status of eater), arugula, strawberries, strawberry vinaigrette on focaccia bread.
Inspired by: Strawberry fields forever.
Titus Andronicus: Hard roll. Taylor ham, mustard, egg, cheese, roasted peppers, Tabasco, sliced tomato, youthful anger.
Inspired by: They’re from New Jersey, and this is the quintessential Jersey 3AM diner sandwich with a kick.
Elvis Costello and the Attractions: Hard roll. Portobello mushroom, sharp cheddar, garlic aioli, revenge and guilt.
Camera Obscura: (salad) Arugula, watercress, peaches, strawberries, walnuts, poppy seed dressing, pink clouds.
Inspired by: A sweet salad for a sweet band with a bite of bitter mixed in.
Anamanaguchi: Pocket. Red peppers, orange peppers (optional), tomatoes, cucumber, grapefruit (maybe; will have to test) daikon, avocado, spicy miso sauce, fireworks.
Inspired by: For a synesthete like me, listening to Anamanaguchi is like having a long, happy seizure. The explosion of color in this sandwich is the closest I can get.
Explosions in the Sky: Gravlax (beef can be substituted if you’re not me) beets, avocado, wasabi sauce, on spinach wrap.
Inspired by: I was thinking of going the Texas route with the EitS bandwich, but traditionally Texan food (at least as I’ve tasted it) sits heavy in the stomach, and listening to EitS is like filling your stomach with helium. So I went for a very clean, light, bright-contrasted-with-dark combination. I might do a more Texan EitS bandwich during one of the next rounds.
Arcade Fire: Barbequed chicken and fried potato slices with persillade (garlic, olive oil, vinegar, oregano) and melted Gruyere mixed with a dose of teenage angst. Baked beans on side.
Inspired by: Texas meets Montreal.
Air: For these Frenchmen, the ever popular croque monsieur.
The Go! Team: Grilled cheese on potato bread. Triangle cut. Take apart and insert avocado, sliced apple, carrot shavings, and a healthy dose of cheerleaders.
Röyksopp: Poached cod, dill sauce, white mushroom caps stuffed with goat cheese and infographics. On a popover.
