    It reminds me of someone that I absolutely cannot place. I've watched some clips of them live, and it just intrigues what they're doing. Nothing about it should work, but it definitely does. For me.

    Viagra Boys are great. I didn't get super into this record. Need to give it a few more times. One of my buddies turned me onto them, and if we're hanging out it's not uncommon for someone to puncture a moment of silence with "WEINER DOGS".

    1. "Price of Admission" Turnpike Troubadours. Some of their finest songwriting to date. My favorite band of my generation just keeps slaying. 2. "Bleeds" Wednesday. I love everything about this band/extended scene. "Pick Up That Knife" is my song of the year. 3. "Big Ugly" Fust. Part of the Asheville scene as well. One of the most straight up "alt country" albums in a minute. 4. "Snocaps" Snocaps. Basically a Waxahatchee record. Which is awesome for me. 5. "Getting Killed" Geese. A fucked up train wreck with inexplicable hooks. Like the best indie stuff of the past few years, I feel like it's chasing Ditch-era Neil Young. In particular "Vampire Blues". 6. "Black Dog & The Wandering Boy" James McMurtry. Took me awhile to accept this wasn't quite Horses & the Hounds level, but there are some incredible songs here. 7. "Little Crosses" Joe Stamm Band. These dudes just keep doing excellent heartland rock. 8. "Bad Reputation" Lance Roark. Turnpike's understudy with a batch of impossibly catchy, well, heartland rock. 9. "Corn Queen" Hailey Whitters. Stupid catchy country that's just polished enough to get radio play, but the songwriting is so far beyond anything else on the radio. She writes about the rural Midwest as well as anyone. 10. "Snipe Hunter" Tyler Childers. I don't think it's his masterpiece, but it is undeniably the most fun record he's ever put out. If you can't jam "Eatin' Big Time" or "Bitin' List", we can't be friends.
  4. I'd believe every one north of OK State. UH at 81% is some serious fucking comedy though.
  5. I can't stand Creed and Hoobastank at all in any kind of setting. But Buckcherry was way more directly influenced by the Stones, Guns N Roses, etc. They were all about sex, drugs, and rock and roll and not thinking you were God.
  6. Normally a Joel fan, but fuck everything he just said.
  7. Those herbs are pretty
  8. Donated it to the local food bank. Also, you say it like there was another beer option available.
  9. I judged a chili competition for our local snowmobile festival a couple years back, and that was interesting. Some of the best chili I’ve ever had (one used harissa - seriously) and then there was a guy who dumped hamburger into a pot of boiled whole tomatoes. Just beyond disgusting
  10. Ground venison, beef stew meat browned in the Dutch oven. Sautéed japs, habaneros, poblanos, Carmens, shallots, 2 yellow onions, and a head of garlic. Can of Hamm’s. Quart of canned tomato puree with chili powder and cumin. Simmering on the stove until noon, resting in the fridge overnight, and hitting the smoker at 5AM before going into local watering hole’s chili cook off
  11. I’ve had them, but they were called grinders. Big deal in the south Des Moines Italian community. Gotta use Graziano Brothers sausage
