some beers for a new Friday Night Beer Pairing, Coney Island Lager. I know absolutely nothing about this beer, picked it up cause I thought the label looked really cool. I think it's officially summer now in San Jose as it has stopped raining and is now really hot. I am excited for this, as I could use a change of pace. Lately I have been listening to a lot of blues, punk, and gritty rock in the crummy weather. I need some heat, mama's showin skin with the short hem, and some move your hips music. So to go along with my summertime enthusiasms I am pairing Coney Island with Kings Go Forth and their newest album "The Outsiders are Back" released in April of 2010. These guys are pretty solid, and I am having a real hard time believing they are from Wisconsin. I guess I shouldn't knock Milwaukee since I ain't never been, but when think Wisconsin I think Duane Kuiper and dairy farms, not congo drums and reggae soul. But they display a very talented mix of RnB, Funk, Latin Jazz, and Reggae. Remind me a lot of Third World see "1000 Songs", with maybe some Joe Bataan like on track "One Day", or possibly Earth, Wind and Fire on tracks like "Now We're Gone". Don't get it twisted now, I'm not sayin they are biting people's style, as they definitely have their own flavor and the whole album is very strong work. My favorite track is "Get a Feeling" as it reminds me of music in the park. Horns blastin off the buildings, harmonious vocals that make people step in line on time, and the breakdown bass and congo drums that crank it up a notch to make you sweat hard in the heat. Also, by the way, this Coney Island Lager is really good. I bet it would go perfect with a Nathan's hot dog, or with BBQ ribs at music in the park for that matter. Thumbs up To Kings go Forth and Coney Island beers!

FNBP: Kings Go Forth & Coney Island Lager
Hey Quickcrit gang, swooped

The Heavy - Great Vengeance and Furious Fire (US 2008)
What if Led Zepplin decided to collaborate on a record with Earth, Wind and Fire, then decided to have the GZA produce a few slumpers for the clubs? Then you would have The Heavy’s Great Vengeance and Furious Fire. Strapping blue notes, screaming low fi, and slutty lyrics, what a sick band! Wow. “Colleen” needs to be played center stage at your local strip club, mortgage payments would be thrown across the room like horse shoes. These boys from Noid, a small town in South West U.K. can even make sipping tea sound dirty, no seriously, they can, and they do. Not only are tracks like “Colleen”, “In the Morning”, and “That Kind of Man” killer party jams, this band has fucking soul. “Set Me Free” should be the theme song for the next Shaft remake. There is not one bad song on the entire album, and I give it about three weeks before one of these songs is on the next Levi’s commercial. Don’t say this very often folks, but if you don’t get this off the iTunes for the five bucks that they are asking right now, you should use that money to buy a bullet and shoot yourself, they are straight dick* man.*Thanks for the new slang Tater.
