Rock Out With Your Cocktail Out Vol. VIII

This month I'm celebrating KSAW 2013! KSAW, pronounced (kay-saw), meaning Kristin's Super Awesome Weekend. Having a birthday the day after any holiday is a drag, let alone national date night, Valentine's Day. Never a fan of the impracticality of stale boxed chocolates, I decided to act like a carnivorous celestial star and took over that half of the week, creating my own person Mardi Gras. And no party is complete without a signature cocktail and a phenomenal playlist! Read on to get both.

The New Warden – Crotch Science!

Still Life, The New Warden - Boston, MA

Despite it being cold as fuck at TT The Bear’s in Cambridge, MA on Friday night, the guys of The New Warden collectively brought it during the January 25th RTT Presents show.

Bandcamp Roulette

Discover new music! Most every band has at least one song, if not an EP, on Bandcamp. With a hefty community of unheard / unsigned artists, you can discover a few tracks and sound super trendy cool when talking about a mega obscure garage band from New Brunswick.

Bandcamp Roulette is a game of chance

Rock Out With Your Cocktail Out Vol. VII

Excuse me, my eyes are up here. I will give you a dollar if you say no one stared at your slimmer green cocktail while you sat at the bar, sipping a Pearl Harbor. I like to order this drink because 8 out 10 bartenders don't know what I'm talking about. Try the Midori melon concoction while you're listening to my January playlist.

Alternative Gym Albums

In anticipation of everyone failing at their new year's resolutions mid January, I thought I'd better get this out sooner than later. Aside from my guilty pleasure downloads that I cannot purchase in face to face transactions for fear I will lose all creditability if any were to exist in the first place, I prefer to bust it out at the gym to songs sans Jay-Z and Justin Bieber. Here are my top seven alternative albums for the gym.
