What's on Tap? Beer and Vinyl Weekly Recap Ep. 5

[@davidellis5141]

The Soft Bulletin was my favorite album of 1999. Wayne Coyne is an awesome frontman. Last saw The Lips with Stereolab in 2019 a perfect double bill !

[@beerandvinyl]

Oh that's awesome! He was amazing on stage. I want to see them headline to get the full effect, but it was great as it was too.

[@NorthernRevolutions]

Im still looking for that Springsteen record. I could order it but just waiting to see it in the wild.

[@beerandvinyl]

It's a good one! Modern but classic sound to it!

[@vinylmartini3377]

Hey Alex. Nice Purchase St. tee shirt. I’ve been rockin’ your tee shirt here in Victoria and people love it. Great Gallagher album, been a fan for years. Great concert lineup. “Disco Duck comin’ in” 😂😂😂. Great listening week buddy. Agree totally with your analysis of Traffic. Cheers.

[@beerandvinyl]

Hey Thanks Jack! Thanks for spreading the good word throughout Victoria. Feel free to start charging people who want a shirt.. we can split the profits and make some real cash! Hope you have a great week my friend

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

Great video! Love Rory! I was fortunate enough to see him 1979. And that Traffic album is a solid release from them. Cheers

[@beerandvinyl]

Wow! What I would have given to see Rory rippin' it up on stage. That must have been wild. Thanks so much!

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

@@beerandvinyl He was amazing. I always felt he was better live and that his studio albums as good as they are didn't quite capture what he was capable of. I feel the same way about Roy Buchanan. Cheers.

Nice show I go to Asheville quite often. There are a ton of breweries there. And record stores. And for this jersey boy. Bagel shops. My go to. Take care art

[@beerandvinyl]

I'll always remember Asheville as having the most breweries per capita in the world! What an amazing place. Been there a few times but before I was into records.. I gotta return.. thanks Art

[@northcarolinavinylpicker]

@@beerandvinyl if you return , let me know I’ll meet ya over there. Take care

[@tedesquivel8085]

Another great vid! And great spins. Brubeck and Bowie are a couple of my top records.

[@beerandvinyl]

Same here! Great stuff - thanks so much

[@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486]

This is fast becoming my favorite channel. Love that you talk beer and music in equal measure and you know so much about the albums and artists. Enjoy that ELO concert. I saw them about 5 years ago and it was one of the best concerts I’ve seen.

[@beerandvinyl]

Thanks so much, Jeff! That means the world. Jeff Lynne killed it Friday night and it was such a spectacular night. Thanks again man

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I think I would be way more into Wayne Coyne now, I have most of those Flaming Lips on Cd. At the time, it was his vocals that threw me off. Now.. I have warmed up to his singing. Great great band, actually.. And Weezer rules ! Haha😊 Love 'em

[@beerandvinyl]

Absolutely agree - thanks JT!

[@jasonarsenault3791]

So good man. Need to get me some hunky. Love your take on the Lips. Great series. Keep the Friday taps coming.

[@beerandvinyl]

I'd prefer YOUR take on MY lips (what)

[@jasonarsenault3791]

@@beerandvinyl lol. You’re so great

[@vikingbrace]

I love hearing you talk about beer and then taste testing it. Probably my favorite part of the video. That sounds like an insult but it’s not at all. Yeah I hate turds on my records too. Oh wow enjoy the ELO show! I would have loved to have seen that. Have fun and tell Emma “Hi!”

[@beerandvinyl]

Emma loves you, Gary! She talks about how much she likes you far more than she talks about me. I have accepted my role! Twas an amazing show. Thanks Gary!

[@vikingbrace]

@@beerandvinyl Lol both of you are awesome 😁

[@onmyturntable7036]

Really enjoying your What's On Tap Weekly Recaps, Alex. Tasty looking IPA. I think I've seen that here in CT. Seen The Flaming Lips twice: 1993 when Transmissions...came out, and again around 2018. Hunky Dory: no home should be without it. Have yourself a great weekend. Enjoy ELO! 😎🎶🍺

[@beerandvinyl]

Oh man! That's awesome! That would have been so cool to see them back in those days. Jeff Lynne was outstanding. Time for another beer. Thanks so much, Ed!

[@onmyturntable7036]

@@beerandvinyl Welcome! And..indeed time for another here in CT too. Sunday Funday... 🍺

[@christopherkibler511]

Alex, good beer review. I have had some Hi-Wire beer before, but not that particular one. Some classics there, Rory, Traffic, and Bowie. Thanks, Chris

[@beerandvinyl]

Hey Chris! Thanks so much! I'm seeing Hi-Wire everywhere and will have to dig into more of their stuff. Appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@3dimensionsofmusic3D]

I've been enjoying the Flaming Lips recently also. Nice picks this week 👍

[@beerandvinyl]

Thanks so much, Greg!

[@rolandramirez5808]

Nice post! There is a 12" ep of Fight Test with live recordings, that also kicks ass, by The Flaming Lips.

[@beerandvinyl]

Yesss I always see that 12" ep of Fight Test (and Fight Test happens to be one of my favorite FL songs.. Cat Stevens inspired or not!). I'll have to check that out!

[@JackTheMusicGuy]

Oh wow I wasn't expecting to see you show shoot out at the fantasy factory I showed that in my entry for JT"s contest for an album I recommend it's my 2nd favorite by them

[@beerandvinyl]

Well look at that! I do like that record a lot... maybe you inspired me Jack!

[@AnthonyGambler812]

I enjoy that Miles Davis as well. Although I don’t spin it often, it’s a great listen. As always you’re the Man buddy! Keep up the great work

[@beerandvinyl]

no no sir, YOU are the man! Hope you had a great weekend.. it's football season. let's get weird

[@EmbryonicRobot]

I love the Flaming Lips. I saw them in Toronto years ago outdoors. Amazing! This is a great batch of records. It Ain't Nothin' To Me sounds like Disco Duck. I thought more like KC and the Sunshine Band at the outset.

[@beerandvinyl]

Honestly I'm just looking for any reason to say something sounds like Disco Duck. Flaming Lips were outstanding. Thanks Brian!

[@booieaguilar4792]

Concert time is a couple weeks away for me bro. I'll have to send you some pics if you wanted. It's always nice to put a name to a face lol. Thee Sinseers are gonna be a bad ass concert

[@beerandvinyl]

Hell yeah! Stopped by Plaid Room/Colemine on Friday and hung out with your boy Terry for a bit! He showed us around the offices and all that good stuff - it was awesome!

[@booieaguilar4792]

@@beerandvinyl alright, I'm jealous about that. Some day I'll head up there and hope Terry will do the same for me lol

[@TheVinylLoungeMtl]

Man I want a nice West Coast IPA, crave now… Now I wanna spin my Brubeck and Bowie… Don’t have Letter to You or Southern Accents but will definitely keep an eye out… Love Traffic, non Prog progressive music 😎 I think that when the needle drops I prefer having that great debut to end album instead of a few bangers… All depends I guess… Thanks for drawing me into your descriptive knowledge, I really understand why Anthony enjoys your channel 🎶✌🏼 Enjoy ELO saw footage from Bachman’s page, looks amazing

[@beerandvinyl]

Thanks so much for watching! I agree with you about the consistency piece. Anthony is the man and I owe a great deal to him. Jeff/ELO was outstanding. Thanks so much again!

Growing up in the '80's, "Life On Mars?" was only a cult/ fan-favorite song. I don't think it became more well-known, until the late 1990's. It wasn't on the 1976 "Changesonebowie" LP comp, or the 1981 "Changestwobowie" LP comp. Or the Rykodisc "Changesbowie" CD comp. I'm a David Bowie fan, and I barely knew the song, until "The Best Of David Bowie 1969/1974" CD comp, when I finally paid attention to it. And I was like, "Wow! What a great song".

[@stereo999]

I think Life on Mars blew up after its appearance in the movie Life Aquatic

[@beerandvinyl]

Isn't it crazy how that works?? I wonder what gave it it's status. Or other songs that have similar stories. Appreciate the context James - cheers!

[@MGKBOSTON]

Hi Alex! Dinosaur Jr were always too "noisy" for me. I have both of those Flaming Lips albums you showed but on compact disc. When I lived in Orange County I got really sick of hearing about Weezer. You would think they were the best band on planet Earth according to the Vans wearing crowd. Obviously not my thing. 😉 Excellent Sunday morning selection with Dave Brubeck. I bet Gary loves that album. 😂 I love Tom's Southern Accents. Excellent record. Excellent Traffic album too! Love it. ✌

[@beerandvinyl]

Thanks Mike! Come to think of it.. you look like you'd fit in well with Weezer! (just kidding.. kind of). They have enough annoying songs to outweigh the good ones (like Beverly Hills), so I get it. Thanks sir!

[@dcmphotog8452]

I saw ELO on 8/27 in Seattle. Great show. If you can avoid the videos showing up on youtube it will make the experience even more memorable.

[@beerandvinyl]

Didn't watch a single video prior to the show! But what a great show it was. Just so happy to be able to see Jeff - a legend and one of my favorites

[@dcmphotog8452]

Interesting that you had Flaming Lips and Weezer on this video because they are touring together and just played here in Seattle recently. I really like Flaming Lip's album "King's Head" from 2019. If you are not familiar with it, the album features Mick Jones of the Clash doing occasional narration of the storyline. The story is about a woman who dies giving birth to a baby with a giant head/brain. Eventually it dies and everyone climbs inside it's open mouth to live insde the brain and marvel at all the information it contains.

[@beerandvinyl]

I guess I’m gonna have to get that album now.. that sounds absolutely ridiculous. I’m in.
