    What's Brainticket doing on that list? Great Pretty okay cover.  Music kind of sounds like that.

    I'm jamming on the Brainticket Anthology ATM.  Frickin' brilliant stuff, though the ramblin' psych-chic vocals can be a bit much.

     

    That cover is a weird one.  It's as if they were channelling Cleopatra Records' aesthetic 20yrs before the label was founded.  Definitely not the worst cover ever but I'd put it left side of the bell curve.

    No, it really does have ketchup in it apparently:

    This reminds me of southern Americans calling things salads which are actually deserts.

    Like the Gobi Desert?                                               ?

     

    Are you referring to things like candied sweet potatoes?  Yeah, that's a salad.  If it weren't there would be >no salad< and then everyone would feel guilty when it came time for cobbler.

    wtf?!? a basic French dressing is oil, vinegar and Dijon mustard. don't let the French know what you've done to their vinaigrette. 

    ketchup, on your salad?!?

    Sorry, I was being facetious.  I thought that was a well known culinary joke, even if there is a grain of truth in it.  Now that I think of it, it might be thousand island that is ketchup and mayo.  The two were always more or less the same to me, at least the cheap Hidden Valley versions.

     I find it very weird that people buy salad dressings, they take 30 seconds to make.

    I had this conversation with my wife just the other day.  Fact is, I can cook.  Quite well, even.  And I regularly make dipping sauces for dumplings or pickling sauces for veggies, etc.  But for whatever reason I can't be bothered to make salad dressing, at least not routinely, (I do occasionally mix up a fresh Caesar dressing; yum).

     

    The same argument could be made for buying canned beans instead of dry beans; or buying bread crumbs,, etc.  It's all about convenience.  It's perhaps the ultimate first world problem.

     

    But I do draw the line at buying pre-cut fruit, that really is lazy as fuck.

    Left side drive is an interesting choice. It's good but I'd hardly rate it as top tier, but hey :cisfor:

    Vive la difference.  To me, Left Side Drive is opiate sex butter but without the addiction/guilt/fat. 

    Another favorite of mine is Melissa Juice which I have always wished had been expanded into a full song.  Then again, it's pretty perfect just as is.

    From a local brewery, Peach Drips Creamsicle IPA.  Hazy IPA with peach puree, lactose, and vanilla.  Pretty good, kinda strange to taste the hops and vanilla but I think it works well.

     

    That is everything that is wrong with modern craft brewery.  Sadly, the IPA has become the 'alternative rock' of beerdom.  Can't figure how to stand out in a crowded market?  Throw some fruit in it, hop it up, call it an 'IPA' and jazz it with punchy graphics.  Can I interest you in some Watermelon beer?
