The Beer and Vinyl Thread

[Pierre Pressure]

Just to show there's nothing but love for Melissa Auf der Maur (plus I had the dregs of the last beer to finish...timing is key ya know). Nothing personal, but...if you didn't play on an album there is no reason for your signature to be on it. Not pictured: me spending the next couple hours after Adore finishes with MCIS and a bottle of absinthe.

FWIW, her solo stuff, and Jimmy Chamberlin's stuff is several factors better than anything Corgan has done in the past 18+ years.

Fiancé wants to go down the Funkadelic and Betty Davis Tabor hole while we clean the house.

No complaints.

My local record store had that recently for $50. I was so tempted, but I just couldn't. I have regrets.

Alvarado Street/Cellarmaker Collab. When Doves Cryo Batch #2 (Nelson, Galaxy, Mosaic). Liked this batch better then the first one. Key may have been letting it sit for a week or so after release.

I guess only one Vinyl album applies here.........

Maybe the first time ever that we are listening to records at the same time.

Just picked up these early Matthew Melton shenanigans. Good ****.

Wasn't planning to post another tonight, but you're here, I'm here, more importantly my beer is still here and a new Great Music thread has been posted so now I need to write some words about this album. Easiest pick for me so far.

And an excellent pick it is.

I won’t even go look to see what the new thread is until I get to work tomorrow and am in front of my computer so I can pay appropriate attention to what I’m doing...but judging by your pick for the year, I have some ideas already.

This record below is unrelated, but also new to my collection. Love me some Guy Blakeslee although this EP isn’t my fave:

Love the ironic glare on the record title.

Easily one of the better new jangle pop records out there

 

[kbuzz1]

Never heard of this but the record was cool looking, it was $5 and fatcat records has never steered me awry. They are batting 1.000. I've bought randomly 4 albums on this label over a nearly 2 decade span and they've all received regular rotation years and years later. We'll see if this band lasts.

Parquet Courts labelmates...**** is ******* awesome!

Noisey: “Fort Wayne Mermaids” is an interesting song. Is there much of a story behind it?

Jason Henn: I was binge-watching Ken Burns' Baseball documentary series again around the time the Religious Freedom Restoration Act passed in Indiana , and I think the two things got jumbled in a dream I had. The episode of Baseball that features a lot on Hank Aaron mentioned that he had been on a ***** League team called the Indianapolis Clowns, which got me thinking of funny fictional sports team names. I made a list of about 100, and I decided to use "Ft. Wayne Mermaids" as a jumping off point for a song. In the dream, I-69 between Indianapolis and Ft. Wayne was flooded, and Hank Aaron and I swam to Indy to argue with Mike Pence. It was kind of a weird dream. During the vocal take, I got worried that the lyrics were too on the nose, so I moved some words around, and now it makes even less sense.

I saw Honey Radar live and they reminded me a lot of Guided By Voices, short catchy songs. I think the albums and singles are great too.

Noisey: Are you getting tired of talking about Guided By Voices when your music is mentioned?

Jason Henn: Haha. No, it's not a problem. I obviously admire Bob Pollard and understand the connection people make because of the short songs and recording fidelity. I grew up about a 40-minute drive from Dayton, and as a teenager playing shows with my friend Andy Stout, I found myself in the same room as Bob a few times and always felt like I was in the presence of a sage or magician. I never knew him personally, but I was one of a bunch of teenagers who hung out in the orbit of this house on North Main Street that was dubbed the Rock n' Roll Bed and Breakfast. Bands practiced there, touring bands crashed there. On a Sunday morning after a party it could look like a recycling center.

What did you think of this beer?

Almost a hybrid West Coast. Not as "Hazy" as I was expecting when I heard about this one.

 

[atomicpunk5151]

New Glory Citra Dream. Pink Floyd - The Wall. What else can be said about Gilmour's solo on Comfortably Numb. Still like rocking out to Run Like Hell.

I really enjoyed it. So much great beer coming out of the 916 these days. Next time I visit Sac we should meet up for a few pints!

Picking up where I left off last night with another 2001 release. Hopefully this beer is good because the next album I plan to put on from that year is....not.

 

[Pierre Pressure]

Right, so many years ago ('05 maybe?) I worked for a guy who was big into metal and he found out I also listened to metal. I told him I liked Meshuggah and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and whatever else I was listening to at the time. He had no clue who they were but told me I should listen to his favorite band Slipknot, which somehow I had no real clue who they were at the time. Shortly after I found this album for like $10 so I gave it a shot. And to be fair, if this album existed when I was in middle school or high school maybe I'd have fond memories of it instead of say Manson's cover of Sweet Dreams. As is, outside of People = **** which I found to be a great workout song, they never really resonated with me.

The beer however...this is one that I find I enjoy most with about a year on it, and this is pretty much prime time for it. Big, boozy, delicious....perfect to help me through this album. I can't believe I actually offered my last bottle to some guy in the Pittsburgh thread...

Edit: Keeping with the 2001 theme here. Switching years but sticking to bands I don't like theme for my next post. Probably moving onto hard alcohol for it.

Album: **** you kbuzz.
Beer: Absinthe, because **** you kbuzz.
Effort put into actually linking to a username: **** you kbuzz, you know what you did.

Sparing you the picture, which would be more absinthe as shown above and some Neutral Milk Hotel which I know I've posted both albums I have. I know, some weird cliche psuedo-hipster but whatever, I love black licorice.

That said, I'd like to think that even though this is ostensibly about beer and vinyl that we can occasionally delve into solely music related aspects of things. Having listened to both Slipknot and Dropkick back to back I've realized that they kind of have the same problem for me: both are intro into the genre type bands (possibly excluding Dropkick's first album becuse, ****, he is a good vocalist). As a gateway to bigger and better things, I can see both serving as fond stepping stone memories. But having come to Slipknot after knowing Meshuggah or Dropkick after knowing Minor Threat or Flogging Molly....both seem kind of sanitized mainstream ready pop-metal or pop-punk (I know, actual genre, not Dropkick, but you get the point). The former seems too cliche and comical, the latter lacks the emotion and rawness.

love it

(...having flashbacks of all the disappoint. They released that after touring with Agnostic Front and you can hear it all over that record at times...but in a bad way...I actually don't mind Agnostic Front. Even the ******* album cover is quarter-assed)

Mostly agree to all this...except again (and I know you gave it a pass already) that their first album did have the emotion and rawness.
