Music
As something of a closet metal head, I stumbled across quite possibly the coolest song I’ve heard all year. The Sparrow, by Mastodon, comes from one their later albums The Hunter, and all I can say I cannot get it out of my head. It’s damn eerie, sorta like if Tool and Pink Floyd got together, drank some mushroom tea, and jammed. Best played LOUD (on high-quality speakers if you got ’em).
Beer
Speaking of stumbling, I discovered yet another gem (of the hoppy variety) last night at The Owl Farm, in Brooklyn. Interboro Brewing has been doing some great things lately with their big, hazy, NE-style IPAs, and their latest creation – The Wrench – does not disappoint. It’s fantastic. (Goes down almost a little too easy.)
Lots of juicy, dank goodness (passionfruit?) and may just rival – dare I say – some of Other Half’s better concoctions. I don’t know if they can this stuff or not but I need to get my hands on more.
Go find some Interboro beer and see what I’m talking about!
Mmm…
