I read beeradvocate dammit.

I know about beer!

JESUS CHRIST HOW MUCH BEER DID YOU KNOW ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE SIXTEEN?

EXACTLY, MR. PBR.

Screw you people.

I'm going to the library.

I was being general. That was the point.

When I said czech lager, I meant good lager, as opposed to bad lager.

I don't think Boston Lager is much like a pale ale, aside from it being hoppy.

But I can't legally buy booze, so yeah, you're probably more qualified.

Yeah, that's nothing to do with the alcohol content.

 

I understand what Americans call beer is like our lagers, ie very, very fizzy. Drinking large quantities often does give you a bloated feeling.

 

Do you have darker, flatter beers? (I'm not very up on US beers, beyond the big names.) I don't really like bitter, but it's much less fizzy, although I'm told it's very filling.

 

Stick to Breezers, maybe.

American lager is quite fizzy.

It's worse than your lagers though, it's got an abrasive smell (kinda like piss) and a worse taste. Stella for example is much better.

America has microbrews, which make stuff like bitter and brown ale. But they're much more expensive than American lager (2 dollars a bottle instead of 50 cents). The cheapest good beer you can get is Sam Adams (like Czech lager but not as good), and Sierra Nevada (kind of like English ale with the hop content times 3, this is how Americans make ale).

Wolfy, if you got some Belgian tripel or imperial stout, something quite strong abv wise, drinking a bottle of that would be as much as 3 or so Buds. And it would taste good instead of bad.

What would the DRM be on this?

Could I transfer it to mp3 players, cds, and other computers infinitely or no?

It looks like I'll have to purchase that digitally, along with some of the other Radio Ballads.

Oh I've been meaning to see it.

Is Stiller annoying like he sometimes is though?

Are you drinking American macro lager (*wince*)?

Well that's your first problem said the sixteen year old beer nerd.

I dunno, switch to whiskey maybe.

You watch some strange porn man.

Just watched Xtreme Furry Buttfuck Sluts IV: This Time It's Marsupial.

Worth a rental, wouldn't buy.

I'm reading a collection of Edgar Allan Poe short stories.

I've heard it said of PKD that he was a great writer, but not a good or even competent writer. This applies to Poe.

Still, anyone who likes a good non-visceral horror story would like his work.

I've been listening to Phil Ochs.

He's basically pure American folk, wrote his own songs, didn't play much traditional stuff.

Very '60s, but he's got a good voice, good chops, and very good songs.

Phil Ochs - Joe Hill

Dammit, we need some people not from the US to be part of this.

Guys I'm hell of playing sea shanties on the banjo.

Well, one of them.

It's the first note song I've played, I can sing pretty well while playing, if I play downtempoish.

In South Australia I was born

G E G G G A G G

Heave away, haul away

A G G A G G

In South Australia round Cape Horn

F E G E D E C

We're bound for South Australia

C D E G G E D C

I had to tab it myself though. Don't quite have the chorus memorized.

Well you gotta listen to a Bowie album today.

It's not international Bowie day with only one American.

Class Act: The Cultural and Political Life of Ewan MacColl - Man if there was a book that would appeal hugely to me and not at all to anyone else I know this would be it.

The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian - Oh these are fun.

It's international David Bowie day, meaning I'm going to listen to a lot of David Bowie. I MAY listen to other glam by the end of the day though.

Is that for grad school or end of a college year or what?

Good luck

PKD?

Dark?

Nah.

That's the one where people with different psychoses get sent to different parts of a prison planet!

Awesome!

Christian, we were discussing multiplication.

If you can't refrain from irrelevant subjects, perhaps you'd feel more comfortable with your own subtraction-based thread.

Maybe the Black Canary will catch it.

I count 39 cakes actually.

She's not really a good actress.

Although that wasn't the point of having her star I guess.

Watched The Maltese Falcon.

Bogey is just the fucking coolest dude ever.

Including Clint Eastwood and Joe Hill.

Wrote some more lyrics for banjo, going to do a basic DAG chord thing here.

Decided I'd go simpler for this, but songwriting isn't all that hard.

Hong kong flu’s brought me to my knees now

Hong kong flu’s brought me to my knees

She’s got me walking cross the jungle

Oh what a bittersweet disease

 

Hong kong flu’s got me where she wants me

Hong kong flu’s got me on my knees

I can’t sleep or even drink now

I’ve got no hope for relief

 

Hong kong flu’s twisting up my memories

She’s got me stumblin’ down the street

She’s got me twistin’ up my fingers

She’s got me playin’ without beat

 

I’m losing strength every day now

I don’t know what the hell I’ll do

I’d pack my things and head for home now

But all I’ve got is Hong kong flu

Is it easy to get european-style bread in India?

I got some posters up in my room. Nighthawks, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and Casablanca. 6 posters total, my room is basically cool now.

Oh man when I was 14 and I'd been listening to the Clash for a year and suddenly I put on Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash, my jaw dropped.

Yeah, the Pogues are amazing, I saw them live in Boston this year. Macgowan's a shambling wreck, but he wrote incredible songs for a decade or so. Even if his solo stuff is mostly bad, his best work can stand against anyone, lyrically.
