Checkered

I've been a bit behind as far as keeping my updates normal lately. The obvious reasons for this need not be stated.

First off, not at all music related, but I'd like to give a super special shout-out to Stone's 2nd Most recent Collaboration ale, the El Camino (un)Real Black Ale. I haphazardly stumbled upon this while browsing Argonaut, bought one, was blown away in my mouth. Well, I headed back to Argonaut 2 days later and cleared them out of all their remaining 15 bottles. Honestly, I have never tasted a beer that delicious and complex since the legendary Westerleven 12, the purportedly "Best Beer in the World".

Anyway, if you can find this, it is more than worth a taste. So try and snatch one up if you can. Otherwise, stay on my good side, assholes!

They also just released their next collaboration ale, Saison du Buff where they get together with some pretty mean brewers.

Anyway, been listening to a handful of stuff around the block, and I plan on throwing some of that at all'o'yall....

Alright, first:
1.) These New Puritians--Attack Music
--> This song sticks in the folds of my gyri like a bur. Kind of electro-art-rocky but it's a really tasty tune and it's off of their new album

2.) The National--Terrible Love. Their new album is probably my favorite out of what they have. It's brilliant, wonderful, uplifting and cheery just like all of their stuff and makes you just want to go out and blindly fall in love. Yeah.

3.) Hocus Pocus--100 Grammes de Peur. Probably my favorite band that's currently active--largely because their new album, 16 Pièces is a knockout. Lyrically and Musically their most driven album.


Bonus: A big shout-out to ConnardTed0Monsieur thank you for this massive destruction that has been the theme to my life the last 10-12 days. For real.

Anything Else?
