What a dilemma! I've got Van Halen cranked up loud on my boom box, but have no idea what form of alcohol I should be slamming to go along with it.
That problem is now a thing of the past, thanks to a fun new website called "Drinkify." I'm assuming that the name is some kind of take-off on the music sharing platform Spotify. I've never explored that world, but I will tell you that "Drinkify" is right up my alley.
Simply type the name of a band or artist into the search engine, and Drinkify comes up with the perfect match. I figured, like most of these types of sites (think the band name generator type sites), that there would be a finite number of combinations. I also figured their selection of bands that would be included would be limited. But it's not!
I typed in John Hiatt, and the site suggested I drink 1 oz. of Canadian Club whiskey, serve on the rocks, stir vigorously and serve with a sparkler.
A sparkler? Nice touch. What about R.E.M.? One PBR, serve cold. Not imaginative enough, I thought, for one of my favorite bands.
For Eau Claire native Bon Iver, this is what popped up: 1 bottle red wine at room temperature, garnished with a twist of grapefruit. Hmm..sounds weird, but fitting.
The cocktail to drink with the folk music of Joan Baez was 1 oz Canadian Club whiskey (ooh a repeat)..but mixed with 10 ounces of wheatgrass juice. Much better.
And what should I drink with that aforementioned Van Halen cassette? 1 bottle of Jack Daniels Tennessee whiskey. "Serve on rocks," it suggested. "Garnish with cocktail monkey."
Now I will never see another cocktail monkey without thiking of Eddie Van Halen.
Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.
2) I used to...
Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...

It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
