Drink Holland Oates from Stillwater
Unlike the unfortunately-true MMMHop beer from Hanson, this is not an official Hall & Oates brew. But it is real. Holland Oates is an upcoming beer from Baltimore’s Stillwater Artisanal Ales for a collaboration with Dutch brewery Emelisse. Hence the name. With those stereo ‘staches you can count on this label featuring prominently in my forthcoming CRAFT BEERDS book. Stay tuned…
I don’t know what’s better, Jeff Tweedy showing up on WGN Chicago for the weather or that each day looks like tall-boy beer cans. Either way, what a way to start the morning. Even better than Spectreman. Thanks for the tip/pic, Matt Vogel!
Man, I used to love flipping through my brother’s Beatles LPs and staring at the cover art. Glad Apple let them shine in their own commercial. Also, they’ve made an animated iBook of Yellow Submarine up for free download on iTunes.
Tons of goodies to go shoppin’ for this week. And a live sample from an album that’ll hopefully be out soon, a gorgeous duet off Karen O‘s “psycho opera” Stop The Virgens. Enjoy thoroughly.
Of all the significantly geeky dates of 2011 today might be the geekiest. So enjoy a tune by a palindrome-named German trio, To Rococo Rot and a fake one by Chicagoan, Andrew Bird. Then check out Dan Hersam‘s list of Palindromes.
If I had a Hi-Fi… Satan oscillate my metallic sonatas…
