Design your own tutu. Without, you know, designing your own tutu.

An “amuse bouche” of tunes from Lucky Diaz
After watching a few seasons of Top Chef, I now know what an amuse bouche is: a bite-size appetizer that is supposed to give you an idea of the chef's approach--and hopefully make you hungry for more. And though Lucky Diaz's 15 minute debut EP is more than a single...
