Re: Mistah Willies Has Shuffled Off His Mortal Coil

This is awful news. Though our times didn't always sync up, I loved our Skype calls; I know that others will confirm that he was the most pleasant, polite and downright lovely human being. Still intend to make it to his neck of the woods and raise a glass one day. Tonight I'll pour a little of my dr...

Re: Peetie...

I remember Gene used to try and educate us imbeciles of the old timey blues guitarists and music makers by consistently dropping old rare music vids. I always enjoyed that. His MDM board namesake - Peetie Wheatstraw . Also he was one of the very few board members who thought I was funny, and no mat...

Peetie...

It seems that we've lost a longtime board member, and rock 'n' roll has lost a damn fine piano player. News was confirmed by Dave Alvin . This is fucking rotten news. Always loved peetie's input on here. Fittingly, I'm drinking Duvel right now. May have to empty the fridge tonight, but this one's fo...

Those are dark times when bars are forcefully closed. I see only one solution but to summon the CONCLAVE OF THE CUP CRAVERS.

Vodka and...

Lately, I've come to appreciate two simple but effective vodka drinks. While it's not my go-to spirit, it is much cheaper than whisky and slightly more to my liking than gin in this weather. 1) Vodka and cream soda. I made this drink for myself and a friend when I had ran out of wine and everything ...

It's a Friday and I've got the day off. Few things to do, then it's time to open some cans and start to dance.

Re: Apologies to you all.

Here's to you, Boozy. I still hope we can get a drink again at some point and reminisce about the Triple C journeys through Manchester, Edinburgh and Belfast. Hope that everything else in life is glowing for you. Take care, my friend.

Re: What is your favorite cheap, disgusting food?

I guess that kebabs would normally be classed as "post-drunk" foods, but I went to a restaurant recently and duly ordered one with my stein. Come to think of it, I might've been in another city. Or country. In ca 2003 I`ve been to turkey, the origin of german kebab. It was nothing alike, it was cra...
