Saturday Night Tunes - Pissing Off DreKeem Since 2011

It's so embarrassing when they're obviously looking for me.

The first person to tell me that today is Sunday, not Saturday, will be forced to listen to the new Belle and Sebastien.

Welcome to today's edition of Saturday Night Tunes, where I can learn you about the music I've been listening to while making fun of your musical tastes.  Because I'm in Austin and I can, that's why.1

Star-divide

For a change, my music has been oddly tame and uni-genre recently.  David Bazan's Strange Negotiations, which could be considered somewhat hipster douchebag, adds some nice singer-songwriter action to my ears.  Sometimes, it's nice to bring the house down before cranking it up.

Sloan kicks it up a notch.  From Canada, one of the few remaining power pop bands, hit their 20th year together releasing The Double Cross (get it?).  At times, it sounds like a soundtrack from a Will Ferrell movie, but it makes my old, white ass want to get up and dance, too.  Though, you know, it's not like they're playing a Czech waltz or conjunto.

Finally, and getting the most play over the past month is Thievery Corporation's latest release, Culture of Fear.  As somebody who enjoys music from wherever, its international flavor is especially enticing to me.

What about you, BRB?  What are you fine people listening to?

1 It's scientifical and stuff. Like 62. Or 42.

Today was brew day for me.

Another couple weeks we’ll have teh football matches, so I’ll have to brew on Saturdays. Real Saturdays (not Sundays posing as Saturdays)

I brewed an Amber Ale (similar to Saint Arnold Amber) and listened to:

Mumford & Sons
Dimmu Borgir
Oasis

Mumford would be way up there for me

Probably in the top three. But I mentioned them a couple months ago and wanted to be more original. Because I’m cooler that way.

I brewed on Saturday

We did 10 gal of Oktoberfest and 10 of a crazy hoppy IPA. This will be my first go at dry hopping.

We listened to some Buffet and reggae.

Because we live in Florida and it was awesome on Saturday, that’s why.

by Vega on Aug 22, 2011 8:17 AM CDT up reply actions  

Did you do the Oktoberfest as a lager or an ale?

I know some people are doing it as an ale right now, because of time. Saint Arnold Oktoberfest is an ale. I was thinking of doing something similar since I don’t have a way to lager yet.

by WhiskeyR on Aug 22, 2011 9:08 AM CDT up reply actions  

Ale

I wanted to do it as a lager, but I don’t have lagering capabilities yet. I’ve heard that if you use an ale yeast and then still chill it after secondary fermentation, it can clear up and become crisp like a lager. This is my first go at it, but people I’ve talked to said they get pretty good results without going through the pain in the ass of lagering.

Must Check Out:

The Weeknd… he just released his latest mixtape (Album Quality, better than most) THURSDAY… this past Thursday

His breakthough album was his first mixtape titled, HOUSE OF BALLOONS

Style: Neo-R&B, Downcast music…
Even if you’re not a fan of R&B, I can assure you that you will enjoy this as I was never a big fan of R&B either.

A song from 1st album: The Morning

Song from newest album: Lonely Star

He’s still independent but works with Drake… check him out.

Both The Weeknd and Frank Ocean are the future of R&B.

I went and saw him play last Friday at the Continental Club, here in Houston. It was a kind of reunion show for his original band. It was really excellent.

Lots of Gillian Welch, and lots of Joel Plaskett.

Gillian Welch is an Appalachian folk singer (paired with David Rawlings) whose album Time (the Revelator) has quickly become one of my all time favorites. Here’s a song of her’s that floors me every time I hear it:

Joel Plaskett is a Canadian rock artist. Not really heavy rock, and usually he has a pretty uplifting sense of humor. Here’s a song from an album that’s a bit darker than his norm, though (and one that I guess inspired the Scott Pilgrim author?):

You pay a premium to stay near the stadium, but you also don’t need to worry about driving and parking and shit. Austin is completely walkable. It’s only 15ish blocks from the stadium to downtown.

Awesome article.

How about Slipknot, MarylinManson, Linkin Park, and Disturbed.
Oh and Justin BIeber isn’t that bad when mixed with Slipknot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kspPE9E1yGM

I hate the Jets, Justin Bieber, Kardashians, and people in general.
I like Hixon and Francesa.
Francesa likes Inge so I like Inge.

Stuck on XM Lithium lately

90’s grunge owns. They could play less Pearl Jam though. XM has a Pearl Jam channel. No need to play a bunch on Lithium.

Why do you say this to me, when you know I will kill you for it?

Topic related AND OT in one post!!!

Topic related: Incubus is coming to Houston in September. See 3EB in concert. Do not see Cake.

Jamming lately: Faith No More, Incubus, Lonely Island, Mighty Mighty Boss Tones, CKY, The Scraps(my old band(not a plug, just been jonesing for some of my old music lately)), Jane’s Addiction, Dead Kennedys, Audioslave, Rage Against the Machine(which I find to be an oxymoron considering they’re on Sony’s label).

OT related, but Texans related: I really hope that Favre plays for the Indianapolis Colts. Our LBs and D-line would probably make his ass stay in retirement… hopefully.

Back in the day

I saw Fishbone and the Bosstones play at a club in San Antonio. Great show.

BTW...

Can we agree that ClearChannel, I<3radio, and Cumulus are the worst things ever to happen to radio?

San Antonio has a really great station(can’t remember the #, but it’s in the lower 90s… maybe 92.1 or something) that played damn near every different type of indie genre along with some Ska and Hank III. Wish Houston had something more along those lines.
