You think it's hot to be sad but it's not.

Do you have a friend of a friend that continuously makes poor decisions and they just bring you down? This is one take on K.Flay's "Bad Vibes."
"You think it's hot to be sad but it's not. You're an ex punk slipping stones in your Docs. You're in a circle of people with fun that's illegal."
Sure, we may feel bad for these people but you have to watch out for Number One and that's you. Kristine Flaherty tells us to not engage in these bad decisions. After all, you already feel great so why mess up a good thing?

Stop interacting with those who make you feel worried, afraid, or upset. There comes a point where trying to help others doesn't feel rewarding anymore—especially when the people you try to help complain about nonsense.
"You think it's cooler to have bad thoughts, never eat ice cream, only take white drugs."
The lyrics make up one big dis but the intention of "Bad Vibes" is anything but… In fact, K.Flay wants us to feel good. She tells us to leave the narcissistic people behind and enjoy what's right in front of us.

Regardless of the title, the sounds in this song are full of great vibes. It just makes you want to dance. You instantly feel like you're in a club with strobe lights where everyone is having a good time. The bass is heavy and K.Flay's catchy lyrics brings up the treble.
"You can't drag me down because I feel good. Yeah I'm real good. I said I feel good."
You already have the words. It's time to tell off the person you're thinking of right now. Once that's over, it's goodbye forever. But even K.Flay knows you need a cold brew to build up the courage.

The question remains; what beer best pairs with this story? You're full of good energy while the person you're taking down is full of dark thoughts.
"You give me bad vibes, bad times, bad nights with you. Yeah, I get bad energy, sick pleasure from you."
Try Abita's Turbodog! It's a little sweet which will perk you up and get you ready to take down your nemesis. It's a dark brown ale with notes of caramel and chocolate.

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...
