Tasted perfect down the core.

It's the middle of February and you've started to see Spring beers hit the stores. You're looking forward to birds chirping and days lasting longer. The sunsets are prettier as the skies turn orange and pink, flowers start to bloom as winds change from chilling to a nice breeze, and beer starts to taste more refreshing than it did in the last five months.
"There's only one eye in the manifest sound in the mouth of the spring. Holy rollers focus one at a time. This horizon's shaped like honeycomb."
Fruity wheat beers are very refreshing and perfect for the Spring. If you like passionfruit, it doesn't get much more refreshing than Liliko'i Kepolo by Avery Brewing Co. Imagine your favorite Belgian style white ale and add an array of tropical flavors; this creates Liliko'i Kepolo.
"Can I just stay here forever and more? It feels so good dissolving bodies at the door and it's so heavy on the way back down but it was worth it—tasted perfect down the core."
Before you snap open this beverage in which will transport your tastebuds to Hawaii, start listening to HONEYCOMB by KUNZITE. The song will take your ears from island to island on one amazing trip to paradise. It starts out slowly with woodwinds and eventually speeds up and has you listening to instruments that traditionally would not work together.
"Expanding into all space and it's just worlds inside of worlds."
This song mixes rock, techno, pop, and even a few Caribbean music genres. Considering KUNZITE is a collaboration by members from Ratatat and White Flight, this is no surprise. Anyone who knows about either of these bands will notice a lot of similarities and the group project creates something amazing.

Liliko'i Kepolo is the perfect beer to drink while listening to HONEYCOMB. They both create something that relate to a culture they were not raised in. Both have a heavy influence on island traditions yet the brewery is from Boulder, Colorado and the members of the band are from Kansas and Sweden.

There's a picture on the wall of Kanye West.

"Freaking Out," the psychedelic pop-rock song by The Wrecks, gets pretty weird… "In the bathroom, on my back, there's a picture on the wall of Kanye West. He's staring at me; he's staring at me. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." …as weird as an IPA labeled with a tiger shooting rainbow-lasers out of his eyes. Elysian's Dayglow IPA pairs perfectly with the odd sounds The Wrecks bring us in this new single. "I'm on the lawn. It's almost 3:00. I look around; I look at her; she looks at me. She's suspicious; she's suspicious. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." The lyrics and the sounds of the keyboard will automatically have you thinking, "this is weird." And even more so if you listen to the guitar rift in the first second as you stare at your newly found Dayglow bottle. But then you take a sip. It's crisp, a little juicy, and oh my—is that pineapple? Yes, it is! Now your on to the cho...

Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass.

You're in the Mafia and you made a deal with the devil. You promised to follow through but you got caught. Now you're going to court and you can't bring up who you're working with. If you do, it's the end of you. "I bet my billionth bottom dollar on a hopeless case and now the devil on my shoulder has a knife to my face." Maybe it's time to talk to daddy. After all, he has connections. He can get you out of anything. But then again, if he helps you, you will pay. No, not with money; you're broke after paying your lawyer. You'll pay with something much more severe, most likely your life. "Sometimes the short end of the stick is the sharpest. Sometimes the only road to take is the darkest. Sometimes all you gotta say is 'Daddy, make it go away.' Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass." After talking to daddy, you find it's in your best interest to stay away from him and his workers. You go back to court and the police as...

I danced with the devil and I've got to say he's not so tough.

This blog focuses mostly on new songs less than a year old but an exception is being made for "Live from Hell" by Glowbug on the album Fantasma Del Tropico. It's an obscure alt-rock song with sounds of steel drums giving it that Caribbean island vibe. But that's not it. This song features Eddie Hermida, the screamo vocalist of the deathcore metal band, Suicide Silence. This is the first screamo song to be listed on this blog. "To all the heathens, demons...I have got a feeling we'd get along, so shout GIVE ME YOUR WORST...LOVE 'TIL IT HURTS!" This could very well be one of the softest screamo songs you've heard but it just works; it's catchy. The lyrics are pretty dark considering the island-enthused sounds too. "I DANCED WITH THE DEVIL AND I'VE GOT TO SAY he's not so tough." Of course a Caribbean-inspired song needs to be paired with a Caribbean-inspired beer. There may not be any year-round nationally-available beers to co...
