Join me for an old fashioned, while I talk about the Beach Life festival this coming weekend, the 2025 Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductees for 2025, and a playlist of Taurus artists. Also, for the first time on an episode, I've included a song I wrote and recorded years ago. It's my birthday gift, from me to you. Cheers!

I return to an old favorite here, with a 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from Black Stallion in Napa Valley. My Tasting Room includes a new album from music collective Sault, along with some final observations as Coachella Weekend 2 wraps up. And for my Vintage Pour, I feature the legendary Joni Mitchell's 1971 masterpiece "Blue." I talk about her songwriting, her instrumentation, and the artists who count Joni as an influence. Cheers!

Join me for my third cup of coffee, as I power through a lack of sleep, and go over my very busy weekend in the desert. I give you a play by play of all three days, including the artists I watched, the food I ate, my traditional Sunday cocktail, and the never-ending desert heat. From Gaga to Charli, from LL Cool J to Circle Jerks, and from Bernie to Basement Jaxx, you don't want to miss this.

Join me for the annual pregaming episode for Coachella. I talk about how to prepare, the various stages, and how I plan on spending my three days in the desert. It's supposed to be 98 degrees on day one, but we're staying cool with the vodka lemon drink I prepared. Whether you're going in person, or watching for free on YouTube, do not miss this episode! Cheers!

I recorded this episode after having a couple margaritas earlier today at Panxa Cocina here in Long Beach (I recommend the watermelon and mango flavors). I go through some festival announcements, including Outside Lands in San Francisco. Also, new music from Lucy Dacus, a Questlove Supreme podcast episode that features Monie Love, and other acts I'm checking out at Coachella next week. Also, Seal's first album is featured in the Vintage Pour. Cheers!

This week, I devote an entire episode to Fingerprints Music here in Long Beach. Since the record store is moving away from its current location this week, I've decided to talk about some of the memorable shows and signings I've attended there since 2013. From Cage the Elephant to Bishop Briggs to Ozzy Osbourne to Janelle Monáe. For this episode, I have a Dragon's Milk stout, and relive some great memories at my favorite record store.

I recorded this episode on St. Patrick's Day, after having a couple of "Green Beers" from San Fernando Brewing. I talk about a indie folk group called Friko, along with six acts at Coachella I've already seen (and want to see again!). Also, thirty years after its release, I talk about Radioheads "The Bends." And what artists did I have a chance to see live, but missed out? Give the episode a listen, and cheers!

Join me for a Smog City Optical Haze hazy IPA, as I talk about five veteran acts I'm looking forward to at Coachella, pay tribute to three fallen music legends, and update you on eye-brow raising Fyre Fest 2. Also, my Vintage Pour features one of the most covered songs ever, The Beatles' "Yesterday." Cheers!
