Beer Review – Surly Coffee Bender
Mar 20I meet all kinds of characters at the brewery where I volunteer on Saturdays. There’s the townie regulars who come in to refill their growlers, the small groups of twenty somethings looking to take a tour, and of course the obligatory couples. But, my favorite visitors are the out of towners. A few weekends ago, [...]

Valentine’s Day Gifts for the beer lover
Feb 14We can start with the obvious and the most important thing: Beer. If you give a beer lover a six pack of bud light it’d be a good way to say you don’t care about the same things and should break up. But, if you plan on keeping that someone special around here are some [...]

Beer Review – Mayflower Oatmeal Stout
Feb 10I volunteer at Mayflower on Saturday afternoons. It’s a pretty sweet arrangement; I get to talk beers and help out, and they send me home with their delicious beverages. If I had a sign around my neck that said ‘Will work for beer’ you’d know that I’m telling the truth. It’s a classy operation run [...]

Icona Pop – I Love It
May 8Need a pick-me-up? This should do the trick. I hope you’re prepared to hear “I Love It” all summer long. It has that instant catchiness that only a group of dance pop making Swedes could effortlessly master. This song just happens to be written by another favorite, Charli XCX, whose songs “I’ll Never Know” and [...]

The Echo Friendly – Same Mistakes
May 7On-again-off- again couple Jake R. and Shannon E. are The Echo Friendly. It’s monday and that’s all I have to say. The song can do the rest. Tumblr // Bandcamp

Wayback Machine [Video]: Catherine Wheel, feat. Tanya Donelly – Judy Staring at the Sun
May 1I had a huge crush on Tanya Donelly all through the 90′s. As one of the founding members of the Throwing Muses, The Breeders (with Kim Deal of the Pixies) and later her own band Belly, she was one of the IT girls of early alt-rock in the late 80′s/early 90′s, and a core member [...]

Brunch Session Preview – Spirit Family Reunion and Summer Cult, 4/15/12
Mar 26This event has been a long time coming. It all began last year after the Dawes/Blitzen Trapper show at Royale, the Brewery Sessions crew and the Music Savage crew were talking about how awesome it would be if we had a daytime session, specifically one with waffles. Over the months we would revisit the idea [...]

Video: Session #1 – Hip Hatchet
Feb 7It was barely the beginning of winter and a perfect night for drinking beers and gathering for music. We always knew that craft beer and music would bring good people together and that night it came to fruition. In fact, it worked so well that two lovely people met for the first time at the house show, and [...]
