My face is just my face.

AJR isn't so weird. Oh wait… "So if I break my face, and I don't look so great. My face is just my face." But seriously… This song is dope. It sounds like if trumpets met a deep R&B backdrop. But then the lyrics come in and it sounds like the best of any great AJR song. As weird as AJR's lyrics can be, there is often a hidden meaning. You'll notice that most of the lyrics in "Break My Face" tell us that as bad as things get, there is often a bright side to the side effects. And life can get pretty gloom. "You run your mouth. Your tongue fell out. It's right there on the ground. But now, you'll never drown. You can't, you got no mouth. So it ain't all bad now." This dark comedy calls for a smooth and dark stout. Duck-Rabbit's Milk Stout, found mostly in the Southeast of the United States, is the perfect beer to enjoy while listening to AJR's cleverly worded and sounding song. Song: Br...

I've got the sweetest living recipe.

Listen to "Recipe" by Wild Party and you'll be reminded that life is good. The world is not perfect but you're happy with what you got and couldn't ask for more. People will try to tear you down but you don't care what they have to say. "Stop crumbling. Their words didn't matter. Oh well, just forget it, we know we're only going up." You're taking risks—risks that people do not agree with. But you know in order to succeed in life, you must be brave. Failure is an option because if you want want to be the best, you must learn from your actions. "Never gonna hit the breaks too slow—even if we make mistakes we know that all we got is all we have so no we're never gonna look back and think of how I run the worst sometimes." But you won't fail alone. Yes, the common person will judge you but no-one understands you like the people who love you. They will support you and as long as you have your friends and loved ones aro...

Maybe only gold is flawless.

Max Frost shows his funky sounds in his new single, "Money Problems" and it makes you sway your body from side to side. It's only fitting to listen to this song while sipping on some Funk Sway by Jailbreak Brewing. The Key Lime Berliner Weisse by the brewery based out of Maryland is a little sweet, a little sour, and one hundred percent refreshing. It's the perfect beer to cheer you up on a miserable humid day. "I got nothing in my pockets. Tell me baby; do you judge me. I got money problems." We've all been there. We've had to buy whatever is affordable. Our possessions are nothing special and definitely don't stand out. If they are noticeable, it's usually not for a good reason. "My car's a rental; not presidential. I got no diamonds on the doors of my house. Above my level; you're something special and I know I gotta get you somehow." But even with the worse money problems, you'll still find a way to drink tha...

We're just known.

The Kardashians have taught us a thing or two about becoming famous. Not everyone cares why they're famous but sure are happy they are. In the Silversun Pickups' latest single, "It Doesn't Matter Why," a similar message is given. "You hear us come and go; we know. You wonder if we're not alone; we're alone. You think about us all the time; don't." The Silversun Pickups' have a loyal fan base. A fan base that potentially gets a little wild and is obsessed with their favorite band. For the most part, the band is happy they are as famous as they are but it does come at a cost. "You wanna read our minds; we know. Is it better on the other side? No. Will it help you sleep at night? It won't." In the music video , people seem to only care about themselves. In some ways, that's healthy. You should always try to improve on yourself. But there comes a moment when success becomes stress. "It doesn't matter why we...
