It’s that time of the year again to play some Sade or England Dan and John Ford Coley while you and your better half cozy up with a bottle of Pinot Noir or just put on Anthony Minghella’s Truly Madly Deeply.
In that spirit, we here at Le Scenester decided to bug some of the old hipsters and some of the young ‘uns for this Valentine-themed Man on the Street with the following two questions:
1. What's your current ear candy or eye candy for 2011?
Here are their answers:

Francis Lorenzo
The bearded drunkard who gives out random Bacardi shots during Terno Inferno. Ringmaster and Sleepwalk Circus frontman.
10. Warrior - This bromance flick is the best movie of 2011 even if you are not a fan of MMA.
9. Breaking bad - If I could hand out personal Emmy awards, I would definitely hand one out to Gus
8. Bjork - Although filled with off timings and an unecessary App, there's something about this woman I just can't hate.
7. Iceland music - That being said I am a sucker for music from Iceland. (Olafur singles, Jonsi singles etc etc)
6. Archer & Community - I will place this both in the same slot as they are both most likely the best shows you aren't watching.
5. Indonesia - Upon my returning visit I sort of remembered why I was so heartbroken to have left it in the first place.
4. Encounters with a Yeti yet to be named album - Technically an album that was completed in 2011 with a TBA status. It has been a long winding 20 year road (With amazing distance covered in 2011)
3. Musical Gear - I look forward to this every year. Plus there are like 4+ major trade shows where all these companies announce new things so it will always be in my 'top' list every year!
2. Science - With many significant scienfic findings such as that exoplanet (or the "2nd earth"), faster than light neutrinos, advances regarding the Higgs Boson and etc. I may actually still have hope for the human race. Oh how I wish I was clever enough to contribute.
1. Completion of the Ringmaster solo album. Born of stubbornness & cynicism, do watch out for that one.
I will swoon for any girl I find fit to be my ring-mistress (aka a lady with my exact musical compatible who can actually carry a tune. In strategy, I am scheming for a musical apprentice)
Ric Sekreto
Heartbroken
