@Family Friendly Rap God,

Is this happening this year?

1. No

2. Maybe not expand the number of keepers, but maybe not limit it one per position. If someone wants to keep 2 WR's that's fine with me. 

3. I like divisions.

But this was also a step by step process, because i know nothing about the process. They also provide a place for the beer to ferment and do it's thing, which is don't have. Plus the bottles. We had a blast. The winery was making their first pumpkin porter of the season.

The direction and beer storage helps a lot. I'm glad you guys had fun.

Ordered with Amazon. $26 with prime is the best price. Maybe it will go down in price too.

Also, kegged a Sorachi Ace DPA last week, and it is great. Did a single hop with some Golden Promise as the base grain. Great lemon and dill from the hop. Was initially trying for a pale ale, but ended up coming in at 10.5%. Perfect summer beer.

On Friday, my buddy Jim and I are going to a local Winery where you can brew your own batches of wine and beer. We're doing the beer, and going to be brewing up a milk stout. The cost is $200 ($230 with custom labels), and it yields roughly 50-55 bottles of your own brew. They walk you through the steps of actual brewing, and it sits there for however long after the initial process, in our case, about 6 weeks. Then we go back and do the bottling. I'm pretty stoked.

Great idea, but for $200 you can buy an extract set up and all your ingredients. A normal 5 gal. (50 bottles) is around $50. If you like it, I would suggest buying a set up. For extract brewing you can get off around $100 or less in equipment.

Chris Staples' Golden Age meets us at the intersection of nostalgia and the future, and holds out a hand.

For some time, Chris Staples was longing for things to return to the way they had been. The way they were before he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and his pancreas failed. Before his bike accident and the resulting hip surgery. Before the dissolution of a long-term relationship. He had been left to pick up the pieces, but for a long time couldn’t bring himself to.

But the myths we build about our pasts are often gilded: we believe things were innocent, they were whole. Staples, after feeling the seductive pull of that illusion for years, had had enough of it. He was going to tear it down. As he began to pick up the pieces of his life, and coincidentally began to write music for a new album to follow his acclaimed 2014 Barsuk debut American Soft, his songs pivoted forward, becoming the new record, to be released in August 2016: Golden Age.

Staples notes, "It's really easy to idealize an earlier time in your life, but it's not useful. It can be a trap that keeps you from finding new good things to live for. Golden Age is about that myth we carry around. The myth of our past being idyllic. I don’t want to waste any more time dwelling on it."

Out of stock already? 

Not for me. My order just went through

I'm in again

I've always wanted the splits. Ordered the box set and the Murder She Wrote shirt.

@Satan you still want that Hello Rockview Box set?

Was on the fence until I saw Bullmoose had it. Oh well, I guess now is the time to sell the originals.

$13.20 for Priority Shipping to CO. The shocking gum is not worth that. I'll stick with amazon.

I live in Estes Park, which is the gateway to the Rocky Mountain National Park. If you want to see some awesome stuff come here. It is crowded in the summer though.

what was the ratio like for Modest Mouse fans/Brand New fans?

I'm debating going to see them. Huge MM fan, like some Brand New stuff. I just don't want to go if it's going to be mostly Brand New fans though.

It was pretty 50/50 from what I could tell. MM played first and a few people left. 

Saw them last night. No mention of a new album.

I'm keeping my Sub Pop order. Autograph isn't worth $8 to me.

I'm going to see Brand New/Modest Mouse tonight. I hope the crowd isn't too terrible. 

I'll be at Red Rocks tonight. Great venue, but always horrible crowds.

Just popping in to say that tonight I sleep on a king size bed...and I'm stoked.

I just bought a king a few weeks ago. It is glorious. 

I think I will pick this up at my local shop. Box set seems a little too much

True Sadness is a patchwork quilt, both thematically and stylistically. Wherein a myriad of contrasting fabrics make perfect sense on the same plane, this album draws upon countless resources from its writers and performers. To further propel the expansive color and textural fields of the record, we are blessed to play and perform music with a group of musicians who possess not only great talent, but great interpretive ability. They are an extension of our family and their care for the work at hand (and the project at large) informs a dynamic musical contribution to any piece we proudly give our last name. Sonically, the album is as multidimensional as its makers. The same could be said of its long list of influences. So the quilt is sewn, in part, with the brightly colored threads of Queen, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Jimmie Rodgers, Tom Petty, Nine Inch Nails, Gillian Welch, Aretha Franklin, Walt Disney, Pink Floyd, Kings of Convenience, calypso of the 1950s and country of the 1930s. Rock and roll is here, as always. There are moments of undeniable celebration and camaraderie, others of quiet and lonely exhalation. Throughout the album, we stitched together the boldest red and the calmest green, polka dots and stripes, the roughest denim and the smoothest velveteen. They came together because they are the best patterns we have and because each of us brought our own fabric to the quilting frame.

We made this record as people who have made records together before — with experienced hands, appreciative hearts, renewed focus, and the knowledge of our good fortune to make music once again.

On June 24th, we will share with the world this work, these songs, and a contemporary chapter of our lives.
