Long shadow this morning on Grace Street
Safe As Milk #122
Cocktail got the better of me this episode. My “three” devolved into a “two”. One silver lining: it’s a quick episode to listen to!
And even with that, these are some good picks for someone on your holiday shopping list.
Guerrilla Filtering
This is what happens when an afternoon nap runs long and you miss the window to get to the coffee shop.
I am happy to report that a Bounty Select-A-Size folded into the Chemex cone shape was an effective filter.
It all worked out okay in the end. Thanks for your concern.
Osees – “The 12″ Synth”
New ep from John Dwyer (The Oh Sees) that is *excellent* listening for a chilly Monday morning. The 12″ vinyl is long sold out but I’m hoping for a chance to buy a digital copy. I’d much rather buy one than make one, you know?
SaMCast recording night at Adam’s
Now that Adam has access to slick recording gear for work, we’ve been recording in the same room from time to time. We also had a guest for this episode so it worked out really well for everyone.
I don’t know how comfortable I am with this level of semi-professionalism.
Mcbasie – “She’s a Big Boy”
Animated McBess is pretty damn great.
Sunday dinner
Made another great meatloaf this weekend. 2.25 pounds, half beef (50/50 chuck and sirloin) and then ~quarter pounds of pork, chicken, lamb, and turkey.
Also have minced onion/parsley/garlic/carrot(!) with the standard bread crumbs and grated parmesan.
Also enjoyed these great beers. I’ve been losing my taste for IPAs lately, but the 10% jam from Equilibrium was impossibly well-balance for all the booze. I’m sure having it with dinner helped the cause, but I really liked it.
The (thankfully) smaller in size and ABV beer from Maine Beer Company was a perfect after dinner glass. It was borderline refreshing after the Big Dinner Beer.
Gather Up the Gold from The Veil Brewing
I had this the other night. The Veil describes it as: Simple Ale designed by our Funkhaüst manager Pizza Nick and brewed in collaboration with our buddies @heirloomrusticales from Tulsa, Oklahoma. We fermented this spelt Farmhouse Ale at cooler temperatures in oak with a blend of a few of our favorite brewers yeasts. Half way …
Sometimes the sunrise makes being up early a worthwhile exercise
The sunsets offer their own awards (and are easier to be around for)
Les Paul and Mary Ford “Lovers’ Luau”
This is worth $3 for the cover alone. The sounds are a 5-star bonus. Like always, Steady Sounds has the hookup.
Released in 1959 (which is the same year Hawai’i became a state), this is Les and Mary being great with their take on luau music. It’s a very chill listen.
