A drink & A Song

So we have decided to start up a little column called A Drink & A Song. We will pick our favorite mp3 off the web, and combine it with a tasty mixed drink to match. This week's mp3 is a fantastic song called Furr off of Blitzen Trapper's new Album Furr. This week's Drink is a bourbon Sour.

Furr(mp3) + A Bourbon Sour

The Bourbon Sour complements the Blitzen Trapper's coming-of-age song perfectly. The wild roaming of youth is captured in the drink's sour ingredients. The settling down metaphor fits the slightly smokier, more pungent taste added by the bourbon. coincidentally the bourbon is how this drink distinguishes itself from its cousin, the Whiskey Sour.

Instructions for the Bourbon Sour.

1) fill a glass with ice

2) add bourbon (2 oz.)

3) add lemon juice (1 oz.)

4) add simple syrup (1 oz.)

5) stir until thoroughly mixed

6) add maraschino cherry to the bottom of the glass

and a lemon wedge on the rim

7) enjoy Blitzen Trapper's wonderful tune Furr

What We Are...

This blog enlightens you, most esteemed reader about our musical thoughts as well as ideas we find personaly delightful pertaining to other subjects. We are not bound by "labels" such as "music blog" because we find that constraining. however we do enjoy discussing "labels" such as "Sub Pop Records" because they release enjoyable "albums" such as my personal favorite this week "FURR".

This wonderful piece of album releases upon the world a fourth album entitled "Furr" by a band named Blitzen Trapper. This Oregon based folk-rock group has released a wonderful record that sounds one's self with warm lyrics of the song of the album of the same name "Furr". That being said Blitzen Trapper is not afraid to explore a louder more experimental rock sound like in their song "Love U". It is a very good album that manages to satisfy my craving for wonderful well written folky songs and my cravings for more rockabilly and experimental songs in one solid album.

I also ponder whether or not lead singer realizes that he is in fact not Bob Dylan reincarnated. Normally there would be no way to verifiably know this, but Bob Dylan is in fact still alive and is releasing a new record "Together Through Life" which will be released on April 28th, 2009. Some of these songs can be previewed on his website.
