Roseanne Cash lashes out at country clown John Rich

John Rich, half of the cornball country duo Big & Rich ("Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy"), has decided to campaign for John McCain.

CSS record review

Donkey CSS Sub Pop "If you are my friend you can sharpen my things with your teeth," chirps CSS frontwoman Lovefoxxx on the dirty synth dance number "Let's Reggae All Night." Is the lyric gibberish? A sly sexual innuendo? Who knows. Ultimately, it's one of those lines that's impossible to define but grabs your attention nonetheless. Donkey is [...]

Brewery Spotlight: Oskar Blues

This week, we're taking another look at a specific brewery - Oskar Blues, out of Colorado. Oskar Blues' beer just arrived here in Nashville, and we're very excited to see it in town. As one of the pioneer craft breweries who cans their beer, Oskar Blues is making major headway in proving that just because beer is in a can doesn't mean it's not world-class. Listen in this week as we try all three of Oskar Blues' year-round offerings and give you our thoughts on what this brewery is doing. Got a favorite beer from your region? Send it our way and we'll try it on the show! Email us at podcast [at] davisondraft [dot] com. Sampled this week: Oskar Blues: Dale's Pale Ale, Old Chub and Gordon.

Brewery Spotlight: Unibroue

This week, we're concentrating on another brewery for the entire show: Unibroue. We've had one of their beers before on the show (Don De Dieu), but this week we check out three of their offerings. Unibroue is a Belgian-style brewer out of Canada, and they've got quite a line of beers - most all of which are Belgian influenced. Can a Canadian brewer pull off Belgian styles? Listen this week and see what we think! Plus, learn how to say all the crazy names of Unibroue's beers (they're not pronouced how you think!). Got a favorite beer from your region? Send it our way and we'll try it on the show! Email us at podcast [at] davisondraft [dot] com. Sampled this week: Unibroue: Maudite, La Fin Du Monde and Trois Pistoles.
