What beer are you drinking now? #4364

Some purple clouds on sunset. Enjoying a Modelito.

 

Really nice pic,unusual to pull purple out of a sunset

 

A late reply, but I happened to have gotten the Croce three-album collection on vinyl and am listening to it now. There are a ton of great lyrics in the "turn of a phrase" way in the mix of songs.


I never noted before, but in a few his later songs, he sounds a lot like Gordon Lightfoot.

As for beer, I last had a Port City IPA, but am currently having malted barley in a different form, some Compass Box Scotch.

 

I guess there is some Gordon similarity for sure. I liked that he could go from the fun rowdy stuff to slow & thoughtful

 

Oh I am but I avoid that place....it's for posers. There's alot of grease on that beach. Gold chains too. Paul and Al from 94 WHJY did a great spoof of "Scarborough Beach". Cant.find.it anywhere

 

Holy Mountain - Cone & Cone, fresh hop

 

A little late on the photo but all in good spirit of a Tuesday night WB thread?

 

That's a pretty dismal turnout! (Tell me it ain't so!)

 

No attention at all now to the talking heads




@muchloveforhops3 one of two Montana Breweries I see in Oklahoma

Gonna go cold soak. Hot tub is broke, 95F water. Hot tub tech will be out in a week. Lows in the 40s, highs in the 90s still Electricity bill sux, but no Gas bill to speak of

 

It is a Tuesday night & there is that high stakes debate on TV...

 

I was mainly noting it on the very few songs I didn't recognize and specifically noted the voice. There was always a part of each song where it became more obvious, but a couple reminded me specifically of Gordon on Sundown (I'll post the link here since I now have another post):


I'll also say, there were a couple songs that reminded me loosely of the some Buffett songs of the late 70s (see Five Short Minutes). Related, but not driving that thought, is that the Buffett documentary I watched indicated that Buffett sort of initially got promoted to fill the gap Croce's death left.

 

I think on simpler terms. I would say Jim's a little more from the heart, Gordon was a little more complex, song-wise

 

I wasn’t thrilled with this fresh, but a year later the Mortalis BA As Above So Below aged on Stagg Jr and adjuncted with marshmallow is EXTREMELY AWESOME right now. Yeah the picture sucks. Whatever.

Hey, if your microwave ever starts tripping a breaker, replace the interlock switch. Under $20 and you’re good as new!

 

Closing out with a DIPA

 

Oh shit so sorry. I can't even imagine

 

Eight pages? Oh no. Oh no no no no no.

 

Absolutely dig Jim Croce. The first song in my set is Working at the Carwash Blues.

 

Zappa confusing as hell. No normal people tapping their feet to 17.5/4.3 time in the key of G sharp flat harmonic.

 

TF. you've got a drunk on the EC still in the running...

 

I can see that. One of the links on a search I did on him was of a thread post along the lines of "what is the best song to introduce someone to Croce?"

The first response was perfect. Think the person will like the introspective, thoughtful stuff like Time in a Bottle or the Roller Derby Queen stuff?

I argued that song has some of the best lyrics he had other that Operator. Then I recalled some of the lyrics to the just listened to Lover's Cross... different contexts, but so fun to listen to.

Actually listening to what seem like demo tape from a 1966 "album" Spotify has listed. Fun stuff, even if a lot of it doesn't sound like what he became.
