Loren Smith has created a new single in Always Remember that skillfully blends together pop, musicals, and the gospel tradition to make something beautiful.

Pouring with an extremely dark brown to nearly black color, the Bourbon Barrel edition of Buffalo Sweat, Tallgrass Brewing Company’s oatmeal cream stout has a nose that is sweet with hints of coffee and chocolate. The aging that Buffalo Sweat goes through imparts hints of vanilla and a spicy bourbon bite to the conclusion of each sip. While the beer is light on the alcohol (5.8% ABV) when compared to…
The Clash’s English Civil War begins the release, Steve Lieberman’s latest and immediately hits listeners with a wall of fuzz and distortion.
