Doctor Spaceman posted:Last time I was in the US I was really impressed by the beer, but utterly appalled at the coffee. The only way to reliably get good coffee in the US is to find a place with really good relatively fresh beans and brew it yourself. Coffee here isn't really drunk for pleasure as much for raw caffine, so low cost is overwhelmingly preferred over high quality. I'm from the Northeastern US and am constantly appalled/ashamed by how many of my brethren swear by Duncan Donuts coffee. It's basically ash mixed with water, and The Worst Thing.

The San Francisco real estate market is finally getting interesting Beerchat: anyone tried Unibroue Raftman? I really want to get my hands on some because it's made with peated malt, but as far as I can tell it never escapes loving Quebec.

illrepute posted:what's good posting music for this week? Phil Ochs is always good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N93OCCBXGXc This one is really poignant, but I don't think it's ever been translated to English. It's from an anti-war play by an Israeli playwright, Hanoch Levin, which was taken off soon after being put up because the government didn't like it. This song in particular starts (rough translation): "It was when I was three, that I lost my youth On the way from the preschool to the shelter. Fine-winged planes passed above me And left me with my face in the dirt. (Chorus) So rise and shine, mortal children, Eat, drink, wet your beds, Firmly squeeze your mothers' breasts, As your finest hour is almost behind you." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNYH9m-pLlo It was written during the War of Attrition, when people still remembered planes flying over Israel and bombing it, etc, and Israeli soldiers were coming back in coffins on a regular basis from the Suez Canal. Somewhat ironic that the only parts of the whole play that are still relevant are the militarism and self-congratulatory bullshit of the victors of the Six Day War, while a lot of the parts that are about the experience of war and mourning of the dead would be much more suitable for Palestinians. Fittingly enough, while the Wikipedia page for the play has not been translated into English, it has been translated into Arabic.

Oh, certainly--and I've gotten 7-11 coffee plenty of times when I just need a cup of coffee. There's a place near me that does this, like... they call it chemex, it uses this purpose-built glassware to do, something, I don't know. The coffee's good. I get their beans to take home.

Beer trip report: Zywiec is a Polish porter and a nice sipping beer, except unlike most porters it's so malty it makes my tongue feel like it's about to fall out of my mouth if I drink it remotely fast. Good for those times when you know you're going to want to drink like mad but can't really afford to be hungover in the morning.

Bro-country has been a thing for a while. There are already a bunch of artists rejecting it. It's a loving shame too, because there is some incredible country music that's come out recently. Like Jason Isbell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClugMhMbrRg or John Fullbright https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5teMqHsThI

The White House, because it can, has put on a series of concerts on different styles of American music. The blues and Motown ones are great, but the did a country one too, which answered the question, "What would James Taylor look like wearing a cowboy hat?" The Paul McCartney one is a little embarrassing in how much they kiss his rear end, but you get to see the whole WH staff sing along to Hey Jude. They haven't done any new ones in a year, which is a shame. One of the great things about being President ought to be that you can just call up a ton of great musicians and make them perform for you.

Goddammit I love Old Crow. Felice Brothers are incredible too. I had to give up tickets to see them in Annapolis to take a transfer five or six years back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH9x4S3-wVY Pop country has been terrible for decades. I went back home once and my "country" cousins took me to a "country bar" that was all techno dance mixes that everyone line danced to it was just awful.

If any genre appellation applies to them it would be alt-country, as in traditionalist country but written and performed in the last ten years. It's what you get when you have young liberals performing music traditionally associated with conservative ideals, which is increasingly prevalent as the south continues to urbanize/turn purple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nliiRDmBbEQ Bro-country is the same thing, except for regressive young southern men who grew up listening to 90's era gangster rap and Garth Brooks at the same time. This is CCD's attempt to break into the pop charts I guess? Normally their songs are a hell of a lot better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVIaiADsyYo BrandorKP posted:Pop country has been terrible for decades.

What most people think of as country music is just processed pop poo poo with a southern accent and a fiddle in the background - that's where Nashville's been headed for decades. Ironically hipsters are engaging in more cultural preservation and authentic performance than the Grand Ole Opry. boner confessor fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Jul 19, 2014 |

What about all the popular bluegrass bands now? Like Trampled By Turtles? That kind of thing. Is that Bro-Countryish too, or is it more the modern hipster thing? There is a band called Greensky Bluegrass from my hometown of Kalamazoo, MI. Not really my kind of music, but they are pretty badass live. I wouldn't think they fit into the bro-country kinda thing. They are more like a Bluegrass band sorta mixed with a hippie jamband kinda thing.

From a production standpoint it's basically a continuation of 80s buttrock. It's not a coincidence a lot of hair metal acts from back then have gotten second careers as country performers- Bon Jovi, Tom Keifer, Vince Neil, Ron Keel, etc. Dirt posted:What about all the popular bluegrass bands now? quote:They are more like a Bluegrass band sorta mixed with a hippie jamband kinda thing. That's pretty much it. After I guess Phish or whoever quit touring for a while a lot of those people latched on to bluegrass, and there's a lot of festivals like Merlefest which take place near hippie-filled college towns.

I feel like there's a lot of crossover. I'd love to give examples, but I can't stand the stuff. Modern country music almost universally sucks balls. There's some good alt country and Texas country, but that's about it.
