On the Couch

This blog was started to placate my need to emit an opinion on music. At the beginning I thought that it was more for myself than anything, but in the end I enjoy hearing that my suggestions, information, and opinion are appreciated by others.

The Alcohaul of Records

So I’ve decided to get back into the podcast game. A couple of buddies and I have cooked up a plan for a new show called The Alcohaul of Records.

It is a monthly talk show that involves selecting a specific cocktail and pairing musical selections with said drink.

We’ve recorded a pilot episode, in which we discuss the Old Fashioned. You can check it out below. I will say that we did record on the cheap, but since we all thought the show went well. We will be investing in better equipment for next month’s show. Let me know what you think!

Episode 1 - The Old Fashioned

Asking who the best rapper in the league

When they know

[onthecouchmusic]

My dood Dame Lillard just dropped a full-length track, “Soldier in the Game”. 

Just a taste of the lyrics:

My first encounter with adversity, was somewhat an emergency / I fell off the path and my mental it needed surgery / The more I stumbled off the more my actions started erking me/ I got it together and the top looked like my turf to be/

They think money rules im rich and I'm done with school/ My problems still exist so don't listen to none them fools / For currency they runnin they lives into paid in full / I took a task and made it cash now my path done became cool/

My life came full circle at the park was throwing left hooks/ Now I'm in the league with Steph Curry and Russell Westbrook / Took a couple bumps boy you never would see my chest shook / My heart came from a lion this path only the best took/

You stupid idiot

Let Nikki Haley, the governor of South Carolina, look out her window at the flag of treason that is flown proudly at her state capitol and think about these things, and speak of them, before she pronounces herself so puzzled at how something like this could happen in South Carolina, the home office of American sedition. - Charles P. Pierce

Please don’t spread the name and face of the Charleston shooter, call him a white terrorist because that’s all he is, don’t give him the respect of learning his name or recognizing his face. All he wants is to be famous, now he will be infamous. He only deserves to be known as a white homegrown terrorist and imagined as a monster because that’s what he is. Instead learn the names and faces of the victims, they deserve to be remembered not the monster.

Remember:

Clementa Pinckney

A Democrat state senator who was also the pastor at the Emanuel African Methodist Church.

Cynthia Hurd

A librarian at the Charleston County Public Library. She’d been working there for 31 years and was a manager as St. Andrews Regional Library.

Sharonda Coleman-Singleton

She was a revered and a mother of three, she was also the coach of the track team.

Tywanza Sanders

A recent graduate from Allen University in Columbia. He was recently working as a barber. It is said that he died trying to save one of his family members.

Please, if you hear about more of the victims, add their names and a little about their life. 

Go to this link to learn more about these victims. What I posted is only a short summary.

Also if anything like this happens again, do this instead of showing the shooter/terrorist. This is a tragedy and I will do my best to raise awareness, I hope you will too. Thank you.
