HOT WAX 1.31.2020
This week,
Fresh from the press to your turntable!
Check out all the eclectic titles coming your way this week. Hot new wax in the new release and reissue stacks for your digging pleasure. The music of Idris Muhammad, a New Orleans native, has a flavor which has me mesmerized. The horns on the title track, Power of Soul, stir the memories of Mardi Gras parades of my youth. Powerful brass wailing down the avenue backed by a grooving drum line still gives me a chill. Horn phrases are broken up by musical sections that sonically sound as if they were lifted right off Bitches Brew. Like a great gumbo he combines a mixture of musical textures, simmering them down until they form something entirely unique. Do not sleep on this one.
The Drive By Truckers have a new record coming out this week. I’ve had the privilege of seeing them in many different settings over the years and can’t say enough great things about this band. Patterson played a solo show at a local venue years ago and I happened to be working that night. It was so cold that night, think 10 degrees in your mind, that only a handful of people made it out. He put on an amazing songwriting clinic for that small crowd, and he was a great hang before and after the set. Great folks who make great music. Grab one of these.
Megan Trainor has a new record out this week. It’s on white vinyl for you hard core Trainorheads. If you’re on the fence you may have some time to think about this one.
Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band’s Express Yourself is being reissued this week on vinyl and if you don’t know…well…you don’t know. Check out this weeks playlist for a taste. We also have some great reissues coming from Happy Mondays, Neneh Cherry, Suicidal Tendencies, and a live one from Daniel Johnston.
Hot wax, come and get it…

ORPHEUS BREWING: When All Goes Black My Shadow Seeks Me
DRAFT ABV 6.66%
Orpheus Brewing brings us this darker than you soul Black Coconut Milk Stout. Coconuts are cooked continuously for weeks, bringing out a surprisingly distinct caramel and vanilla redolence.

Grab one of these on draft and sleep with one eye open.
That’s a little heavy metal / beer mash up for your week. You’re welcome.

SIERRA NEVADA: Hoppy 40th Anniversary Ale
Draft ABV 6% 65IBUs
IPA’s take up the most attention these days, but hop-forward beers weren’t popular when Sierra started brewing in 1980. A lot has changed in the world but one thing is for certain, Sierra Nevada continues making great beer. This Hoppy 40th Anniversary Ale showcases the bold flavors and aromas of a classic West Coast IPA: intense pine and citrus with a deep gold color and slight caramel sweetness. Beer is just like a classic record you have to drop the needle on every once in a while to remind you where you started out. Sierra Nevada’s Pale was the first IPA I fell for. We have a very limited supply of this on tap this week so grab it while it lasts.
@SierraNevada
Spend your Monday evening with us, listening to three up-and-coming acts we think you'll love! The music starts early and you can enjoy Happy Hour drink specials all night long. As always it’s FREE to attend so come down and hang!

Guest Selector
Every month we feature a ‘Guest Selector’ of music for your listening pleasure. This month we give you one of our very favorite people in the whole entire world…drumroll…DUN, DUN, DA, DA, DUN….CATHIE! She is a lover of all things music and we invite you to witness how she boldly weaves together a variety of different genres. From Jerry Reed to Morphine to Blood Incantation to XTC, she will surprise you at every turn, friends.
Cathie is an accomplished skate boarder and our go to beer sherpa. She (@thebetterbeerbrigade) provides us with much of the beer we proudly carry such as Wiseacre, Bell’s, ENBW, Rhinegeist, Good People, Trim Tab, and Jackalope. Cathie keeps us, and you, up to date on what’s new by putting us through a strenuous series of grueling tasting sessions each week. Wander into the bar on a given afternoon and you are likely to find us with Cathie talking beer and music. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it.
She’s the best in our book and we say “Thank you, Cathie!” We are honored that you are our first Guest Selector of 2020.
