BLACKBERRY BOURBON FIZZ  “Serves 1 but invite a fucking friend, no need to drink alone” thugkitchen: You won’t be stressing this summer if you’re sipping on this tasty glass of general badassery. The antioxidant loaded in theses blackberries will make sure free radicals aren’t fucking up your day. And the bourbon? YOU EARNED THAT SHIT. BLACKBERRY BOURBON FIZZ  5 blackberries 5 ice cubes 1 shot of bourbon ¾ cup cold ginger ale (none of that high fructose corn syrup, aspartame nonsense either. Get good shit that has fucking ginger root as an ingredient) ¼ cup cold club soda  (optional) Put the blackberries in the bottom of a tall glass and mash them around with a spoon. Keep some big chunks because it looks cool. Add the ice and then the bourbon, ginger ale, and club soda. I like adding club soda because it keeps it tasting refreshing as fuck but you can save some cash and just add more ginger ale. Garnish with fresh basil if you are trying to impress somebody. Serves 1 but invite a fucking friend, no need to drink alone We made this for our friend Dara over at Cosmo.com

The National - I Should Live In Salt

I’ve been listening to Trouble Will Find Me for 5 days now and I love it. I was worried I’d be disappointed, but it’s another fantastic album.

Alligator, Boxer, High Violet, Trouble Will Find Me. In all of rock & roll, there are very few bands that have produced an 8 year, 4 album run as good as this.

rollingstone: Thirty three years ago today, the music world lost one of its most unique and powerful young voices when Ian Curtis, lead singer and songwriter of Joy Division, committed suicide just hours before the Manchester, U.K. band was scheduled to depart for their first tour of North America. In their short run, Joy Division left behind two classic albums that bridged the gap between punk and new wave: 1979’s Unknown Pleasures and 1980’s Closer, both masterpieces of a dark, gloomy style of rock dubbed the Manchester Sound.

I was born on May 13, 1966. This is my “birthday” and my “life” album. It and I are both 47 this week. It’s also as close as I have to an all-time favourite album. rollingstone: Released on May 16th, 1966, rock’s first studio double LP by a major artist was, as Dylan declared in 1978, “the closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind… that thin, that wild-mercury sound.”

Astronaut Chris Hadfield - Space Oddity (David Bowie)

I can’t wait for Friday to post this cover tune.

If you don’t know, Chris Hadfield is a Canadian astronaut finishing a mission as Commander of the International Space Station. For Canadians, that alone makes him a national hero, but Hadfield’s done so much more. Hadfield is really our first “social media astronaut”. Through an ongoing series of tweets, photo-shares, video events and other missives from space he has done an incredible job of truly sharing his experience with everyone else … particularly Canadian school kids.

This is probably the best music video ever recorded … and he does a kick-ass cover of this quintessential space tune.
