You were in the kitchen cutting up a rug.

Happy Thanksgiving! While reading this post, listen to the brand new song by Caamp, "Peach Fuzz," a folky rock song with beach vibes.

Although it's Turkey Day, let's talk about Friendsgiving. In other words…any house party with strangers and mutual friends between you and them. In particular, there is one stranger that has caught your eye.
"I was in the corner drinking from the punch. You were in the kitchen cutting up a rug. No need to complicate it…I had fallen in love."
They stand alone in the kitchen. They're mysterious. You ask a friend if they know the stranger. They tell you their name but that's about it. Your friend is asked to join a drinking game.

At this point, you're just staring at your phone and pretending you still have punch in your cup. They're enjoying the music and dancing to themselves. It's a little weird but you like that. You glance at them. They glance at you. You walk over and ask if they would like a festive drink. You hit it off.
"Hey little mamma, when you talk back, I see your eyes light up and I love that. I'm just a peach fuzz boy; I'm so alone. No, I don't wanna miss you honey, come home.
It's Friendsgiving so you have a few more Dunkels by Prost Brewing Co. This beer is just too perfect to drink alongside turkey and sweet potatoes. According to the brewer, their Dunkel is "dominated by roasted chocolate and nutty notes" and "finishes pleasantly malty and smooth."

The two of you found something in common. The food and this beer!
"Every color of your love, I've seen enough, I want another."
This lager pairs well with anything involving gravy as well as the desserts to follow. It can be found in various parts of the Midwest.

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...
