To be completely honest, I'm not quite sure how to even begin this review, aside from "holy shit this episode was awesome". I'll say that right off the bat. Tonight's episode, "Blame it on the Alcohol", had good performances-even with the songs I disliked-and a more than intriguing plot. How about we start it with just this simple statement: the glee club needs to get drunk more often. Their shenanigans made the episode, and it was a vast improvement from last week's "meh, whatever." As the episode title would imply, this week's episode focused on the subject of [...]

The year's biggest night for the blues just got a whole lot bigger...
Finally, the songs about chickens!!! A few weeks ago when I picked my daughter up from school, she brought me into one of the first grade classrooms to show me the results of the latest "chicken project." Every year, a local farmer brings half a dozen chicken eggs to each first grade class for them to incubate. I remember her being so excited about this last year when her class was responsible for helping the eggs hatch…they even made a cool video of all the kids playing with the newborn little chickies. She loved the experience so much [...]

Amos Milburn : One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer [ purchase ] There's been a lot of sweetness and light around here lately. There's nothing wrong with that, and I've posted some of it myself. But sometimes it feels good to get down and dirty. And that often implies having a drink in there somewhere. One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer is a classic drinking song. Most people know the George Thorogood version, but, to me, Amos Milburn's version rings truer. Is this the original version? That [...]
Alright, maybe the post title is a little misleading. This isn't about Hot Chip covering Muddy Waters, Memphis Slim or Amos Milburn. This is about Hot Chip covering a different type of blues—the dark and troubled music of Joy Division. War Child , a network of independent organizations working across the world to help children affected by war, asked 1 5 music icons to select a favorite song from their classic back catalog and to nominate the new act they most trust to create a unique interpretation of that hand-picked track. Alongside Hot [...]

Here we go. We are proud to present the top 10 of our Top 100 Drinking Songs. We couldn't have done this without the hundreds of suggestions that poured in from all y'all back in January. And we certainly couldn't have done this without the help and expertise of our panel of judges. Please, once again, raise a toast to Kip, Sean, Kyle, Andy, and Rev. Frost. For the record, and for your

Get It Straight (Live) - Carmen McRae from Carmen Sings Monk on Bluebird (1988). Money Hustlin' Woman - Amos Milburn from Bad Bad Whiskey 1946-1950 on EPM Musique (2001). My advisor, who is great, has this habit of asking questions outloud and answering them to communicate his points. Are you familiar with this habit? Yes you are, it is quite common. So in his honor today's post follows this format. Is this post thrown together quickly? Absolutely, I've been quite [...]
