From the Blogger: 2020 Recap

Finally! 2020 is over and we are on to a new year!

To be honest, I'm not sure if I'll continue this blog but I do appreciate the support. I wouldn't have continued in 2020 if it wasn't for the feedback I heard about my posts from 2019. However, I have started a new project about beer.

I created a new website focusing on printouts of brewery trails in my home state of Maryland. If you'd like to check it out, you can head over to mdbeertrails.com.

Anyhow...here is a recap of my posts from 2020:

I danced with the devil and I've got to say he's not so tough.

This blog focuses mostly on new songs less than a year old but an exception is being made for "Live from Hell" by Glowbug on the album Fantasma Del Tropico. It's an obscure alt-rock song with sounds of steel drums giving it that Caribbean island vibe. But that's not it. This song features Eddie Hermida, the screamo vocalist of the deathcore metal band, Suicide Silence. This is the first screamo song to be listed on this blog. "To all the heathens, demons...I have got a feeling we'd get along, so shout GIVE ME YOUR WORST...LOVE 'TIL IT HURTS!" This could very well be one of the softest screamo songs you've heard but it just works; it's catchy. The lyrics are pretty dark considering the island-enthused sounds too.

There may not be any year-round nationally-available beers to co...

In fact, even though bananas and cloves are most commonly associated with hefes, the taste of bubble gum is found in many hefeweizens. "Another band kid’s bu-bu-bum, bu-bu-bum." According to Gordon Biersch themselves , the aroma of their hefe is "slightly sweet and fruity, with the classic banana, citrus and bubble gum ester character of German Hefeweizen yeast, as well as a touch of toasted bread." "Little drummer boy rum-pum-pum, pum, pum." When enjoying this beer, give "Bubblegum" by The Happy Children a listen. Its a simple song but simplicity is what makes this song great just like a good hefeweizen. There are only a few lyrics with some amazing lines rhyming with one-syllable words. It's a soft melody and builds up throughout the song creating a spark of energy. "Swallow a half piece of bu...
