Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears Harking back to my college days, oh what a lark, one thing that sticks out in my mind is texting girls on behalf of my friends. Not all the time, just some times, if they got stuck trying to woo a girl. Sometimes I still [...]
It's rare that I let a bartender I don't know talk me in to trying a new whiskey. If I don't know and trust them it's likely they are just trying to get more paper out of my wallet. So the way I discovered Redbreast is a bit of an anomaly. You see I was in Austin, Texas a little over a year ago with my wife celebrating our 9th anniversary and our first time our overnight without the kids in a decade. We had gone to see Austin Lucas and ended up being able to catch Lucero the very [...]
The drummer has admitted his problem with alcohol almost led to the end of the band...
Tomorrow is a big day for food. I hope you’ve pulled out your favorite stretchy pants for the occasion! Thanksgiving is undoubtedly my favorite holiday, and not just for the autumnal delicacies. In fact, I think I love Thanksgiving in spite of the pumpkin laced gorge fest that seems to symbolize it. As much as I dig the food, the essence of Thanksgiving is important. It’s about being grateful for what (and who) you have. I’m not sure who decided that we are supposed to express thanks by endlessly feeding our loved ones (hm, actually, was it my [...]
Thrift Shop - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis It's a Sunday night. You're sick of talking to banterless clowns in dead bars. So you go to a liquor store. And end up down an alley. Trying to have a laugh with some homeless guy. Who's trying to take a drink from your brown paper bag. Life. [...]
VICE Magazine teamed up with eight illustrators to pay tribute to Prohibition-era art with modern takes on those propaganda posters (both pro- and anti-booze) that were slung up on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. The poster above is by Washington, DC-based artist Vikki Chu .
Christopher Parker explores the process and creative team behind Brooklyn's Industry City Distillery , who makes one spirit - sugar beet vodka. The distillery is the first project born out of The City Foundry , a design and research group whose mission is to improve manufacturing through science and art.
MIXTAPE MONDAYS: Slowed & Throwed 3: Slow Summer Scissoring WCW: it’s fucking 2 hours long, like wtf are we doing Dre: like you need a lot of booze and drugs and a limo WCW: that’s what we are doing Dre: if i was fucked up with some friends, no joke, this is what I would put on I feel like the prettiest girl at the ball. William Cody Watson and Cough Cool’s collab project known as “ Scissoring” heard my cries for more [...]
It has to be said, I was overcome with a serious case of the vapors last year when I got word Atlanta’s The Booze had broken up. All of us here at MOKB were somewhat rabid fans of their gutsy, heart-felt, party-soaked rock n’roll. So it’s both to my relief and delight to see main-man Randy Michael, who was the songwriter, lead guitarist and back-up vocalist for The Booze (not to mention a former bass player for both Public Enemy and Butch Walker) wasted no time jumping right back into the studio, yet putting [...]
[We are proud to have the nearly award winning Pete Collins on board for this review. His interjections are cleverly formatted in italics for your extra pleasure. Normally, he can be found here . Plus some of the pictures are his] With home printed programmes, highlighted with our preferences for the running order, we discussed our day at Sounds From The Other City with a warm up pint. What we should've done is fashion said printouts into little boats and sent them down the bloody Irwell given the use they were - this turned into [...]

GITNB’s Guide to SXSBest Weeek Ever 2012 Pt II: Guide to SXSW Guides I put together a little mixtape of 50 acts I plan on checking out at this year’s fest.

If "I‘m a Cliché" were a home, "Fit" would be the guest room. Cosmo Vitelli's very own label I'm a Cliché has decided to start a new series called "Fit". The first volume gathers four dance tracks made by different people based in various countries: Hardway Bros' track “A Diabolical Liberty", Naum Gabo's (the studio project of Jonnie Wilkes) "Iris", and Booze's “Side Effect". There's one more: Liv Spencer (Still Going) and Max Pask (Populette), join forces under the moniker of Spencerpask to create a powerful tune called "Way Too Long" - perfect for a long night drive on a [...]

Der Name ist bei The Hardcore Bluesband Programm. Am kommenden Freitag rocken die Solothurner im Rahmen der Konzertreihe Kantonleiter das Helsinki. Der Bart des Frontmanns macht ZZ Top alle Ehre. Auch musikalisch ist eine Artverwandtschaft von The Hardcore Bluesband mit gut abgehangenem Südstaatenbluesrock nicht abzustreiten, auch wenn der Fünfer nicht aus der texanischen Provinz, sondern aus dem wilden Westen des Mittellands stammt. Im Rahmen der von kuenschtli.ch kuratierten Konzertreihe Kantonleiter präsentieren die Solothurner ihr aktuelles Album "Blues, Booze and nothing to lose" dem [...]

Marking his professional transition to full-time boozehound, we got this tip from former music editor-turned-bar owner Ezra Caraeff. Need a little help with what you're drinking? Try Drinkify , which pairs music with a beverage. Punch in what you're listening to, and the handy database comes up with the ideal pairing. A few kinks*, though: There's a "turn music off" switch, but I don't hear any music playing to begin with. And some of the drink choices are a little, uh, strange . Punching in "Thin Lizzy" doesn't result in either Irish whiskey or [...]
