It’s that time of the month again – almost nothing but new releases and blog finds, including one of the tracks from the upcoming new release by The Replacements!
Podcast Saturday is back on REAL PUNK RADIO! Saturday’s line-up has over 11 hours of kick-ass podcasts! Line-up includes (all times Eastern Time U.S.):
I’m sorry but tomorrow, March 1st I’ll be treavelling back to UK for 4.5 months. I will certainly set up and carry on my Tash Can shows at 10am-Noon US time EST (3pm-5pm UK time) but tomorow will be virtually impossble with last minute packing and trying to put a good show together. So..tomorrow I can’t do a show. See ya all with a great show from my London studio, possible with some guests to help out. Thanks for your anticipated patience. Please pass this one via Sharing…join me on Facebook!
A cold and crisp late Winter day outside - perfect for a hearty Red inside. Picked up this one down at my local Trader Joe's for $3.99. At that price, I wasn't expecting much, but this one delivers, right up to the $4 mark. Yep - it's a Malbec, crazy dark purple and nice roasted earthy notes, but it lacks a bit of a backbone that some of the better Argentinian Malbecs posess. Now, don't get me wrong, I'll be back for more as the price is certainly right.
Here's a few more reviews (including a great video review):

Nice and sunny out here on the Left Coast this fine Sunday afternoon. Popped the top on an Almanac Brewing Company Biere de Chocolat American Porter. This one is touted as an "California Table Beer" - meaning that the brewers "select the best in locally sourced fruit and blend it into their beers that are inspired by the great brewing traditions of the world". This one has a couple of unique ingredients:
Dandelion Chocolate - this company roasts small-batch, unique, single-origin cocoa beans to create rich complex chocolate bars that highlight the unique flavors of their different terroirs (what - is this a wine?). The chocolate used in this beer is sourced from Madagascar and Rio Caribe Venezuela.
Ivanhoe hops - sourced from farms in Clearlake, California which lend a citrusy note to the beer.
This one is only 5.5% abv. Lightly carbonated, the malts give this one a midnight black color with a very small amount of foam. Easy drinking and smooth. Glad I tried this one out at the recommendation of the local beer shoppe. Cheers!

A beautiful Saturday afternoon is coming to an end, but have no fear as I've cracked open a nice red blend to start the evening off right. Yes - posting some Red Wine Thoughts on a Saturday, as you know there is some kinda sporting event that I'll be watching about this time tomorrow - go Niners! I thought it quite appropriate that I have a wine from the foothills of California, where the original 49ers swarmed to to find gold - yep that was 1849 - get yer history books out....
This is a Boeger Hangtown Red lot 46. Now I've waxed poetic about lot's 39 and 40 in previous posts and have been working my way through the blends. This one is the best of the Lot - no pun intended. Seems that they have gone away from the Rhone varietals and made this one with Cab, Zin, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Barbera. What a nice blend with the Zinfandel predominating - just what I like. At only about $7 smackers down at my local Trader Joes, ya can't go wrong.

January 30, 2013. Tonight’s show was an all ska/reggae theme! I just returned from 6 days in the Caribbean and the Island vibe is still flowin’ strong in my blood! Twist up a blunt and enjoy the show! Tommy Unit LIVE!! Wednesday at 10:00pm ET/7:00pm PT on REAL PUNK RADIO!
A gloriously bright crisp Sunday out here on the Left Coast. Cracked open a La Fin Du Monde from the brewers up in Montreal known as Unibroue. This one is about 9% abv, malt forward with a very small amount of hops. Sweet short finish beckons you to take that next sip. The Banana, Spice and yeasty notes overpower the alcohol to make it dang easy to drink. This one lives up to the ratings on all the beer sites - highly recommended.
If you are still missing us live on Thursdays at Real Punk Radio, here you go episode 72 bringing you more of the psycho rocknroll you crave. Featuring Reverend Beat-Man, Siberian Mad Dogs, The Tremors, The Mutilators and more. Get it now.

Uncorked a fine Spanish Red this afternoon in preparation for the Robot Attack that will be happening later to my ears as I record the latest show. This one is a 2008 Monte Ducay Carinena, a nice blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Cabernet Sauvignon from the North East of Spain. Just 6 smackers down at my local Trader Joes, I'll be going back for more of this one. Hey - it even comes with it's own brown paper bag - perfect for your visits to skid row.....

Cracked open a Sierra Nevada Narwhal Imperial Stout on this cold but clear Winter Evening. Wow - look as the color of that sucker - Jet Black! The taste is over the top Malt - and I kinda like it. The website (listed below) tells us that you can age this for a few years - ha - not this one. The taste is wonderful and so, I probably should go back a get a few more to cellar. Highly recommended if you like stouts ----------- come to the Dark Side Luke......

A bright sunny, but crisp and cold afternoon here at the Pinhead Compound. Not to worry, I have a wonderful Zinfandel cracked open to keep me warm. This one comes from the Paso Robles area (a bit inland from San Luis Obispo and halfway between the world famous Monterey / Carmel area and Santa Barbara). This area grows some great wine grapes, most notably Zinfandel, Syrah and Merlot. This one comes in a 14.0% alcohol and has just a trace of residual sugar. Berry goodness and some nice spices round out this one. Highly recommended.
Here's some Propoganda from the winery ------- 3 Finger

It's a cold wet one today - perfect weather for a Stout. The Firestone Walker Brewing Company's Velvet Merlin is brewed in the Oatmeal Stout style with some nice dark malts and a minimum of hops. The IBU sits at just 27 and the alcohol level is only 5.5%. This clears the path for you to taste the malts and yeast that make this one of the better Oatmeal Stouts that I have tasted. Have a wonderful Christmas and stay dry!

Besides talking about the St. Paul Graham Parker concert Scott saw earlier this week, tonight is all about punk rock Christmas songs. For the 3rd straight year, Hudson ignores the sentimental garbage and piles on the edgier side of the holidays.
December 18, 2012. Tonight’s show was my annual Xmas Extrvaganza! This year we took it live to Rockefeller Center and brought you some of my favorite Holiday tunes along with some sets from Ramone To The Bone’s “Pop Punk X’mas Hey Ho Ho Ho…Let It Snow compilation and Cashing in on Christmas compilations from Black Hole Records! Hope this helps keep your Holiday Season rockin’ right along!

It a bit dark and dreary out here on the left coast today, but I've got a nice bottle of Red Wine to boost the cheer. This bottle came all the way from Chile, courtesy of the Santa Rita Winery. This Reserva Carmenere is a fine example of the Varietal. Some nice layered dark fruit notes with just a hint of residual sugar that is bringing out the Vanilla and Caramel notes of the aging. Salute!
Here's some propoganda from the Winery's website ----- Santa Rita

As yes, the simple joys of an IPA. This one is from the fine folks over at the Stone Brewing Company in Escondido, California. Yes - this is in Southern California, but I don't hold that against them - they can still make a wonderful beer. If you have never heard of this brewery before, be careful, as you need a road map to navigate the Vertical, Epic, Anniversary and Collaboration beers. I suggest you start with this one - a wonderful classic West Coast India Pale Ale with the wet hopped goodness that Stone has perfected. Hey - it even gets a perfect 100 over at ratebeer.com - that should keep the beer geeks happy....
Picked up the latest Big Takeover and Ugly Things magazines down at the local newsagent (along with the Sunday Papers) - got lotsa reading material now....
Director Gorman Bechard returns to Live Ledge to discuss the DVD releases of Color Me Obsessed and What Did You Expect?, and to also talk about his next project, A Dog Named Gucci.
December 4, 2012. Tonight’s show started with some new tunes, continued with some pop punk, a little surf ‘n’ psychobilly, went from Hell City to Nutbush and ended on some punk rock classics! Hope you dig! Tuesday at 10:00pm ET/7:00pm PT.

It's a Wet and Wild Sunday out here on the Left Coast, but I have a nice bottle of Port open to keep me warm. Uncorked this one on Friday night and have a glass leftover for tonight. This Port is from the Quinta Do Noval winery in the Douro Valley in Portugal and is going great with some Chocolate Truffles that the family picked up at a local Chocolatier. We typically buy a box for a number of our relatives / friends at Christmas and end up with a free sampling of the latest flavors - hmmm - the Peanut Butter variety is so smooth - reminds me of a Reese's but taken up a few notches on the silkiness scale!

The subject this week is the band Cheap Trick - influences, contemporaries and followers. Some great stuff from the likes of Everclear, the Biters, the Kinks and the Move.
A wonderful Fall afternoon - perfect for a Turkey Sandwich and a nice Ale from the Kind Brewers over at Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. This Autumn Brown Ale called Tumbler is contributing to the warm glow that I have this afternoon (OK - maybe it's bringing down the Christmas decorations from the attic that is doing it). Two-Row Pale, Crystal, Chocolate and Smoked Malts make this a smooth Brown Ale that, for me, ranks right up their with the best that the Fall Season offers.
Here's some Propoganda from the Brewery - Sierra Nevada
