Liquid Artistry
“Not only do Iron Maiden genuinely enjoy a good pint of cask ale, but so do many of their fans – and they have an important part to play in our customer base. This partnership works for both of us. Music and beer are great treats for the senses in their own right, but the combination is very powerful. Authentic collaborations such as this are invaluable not only to our company but to the industry as a whole, because it shows that the world of real ale is more than just manufacturing, it is liquid artistry by the people who brew it – and for the people who drink it.”

Looking as Real as You Can
No one took this further, with more imagination and daring, than David Bowie. At a time when American groups would often dress down—affluent suburban kids disguised as Appalachian farmers or Canadian lumberjacks—Bowie quite deliberately dressed up. In his words: “I can’t stand the premise of going out [on stage] in jeans…and looking as real as you can in front of 18,000 people. I mean, it’s not normal!”

Speaking of the Upcycle
The Guardian, reporting on a straw bale urinal:
The designers say their mission is to raise festival-goers’ awareness of “dry urination, water saving and urine upcycling,” and suggest the compost can kept on site and used in planters the following year to demonstrate its value. Production is set to begin in June, when the design will debut at the French heavy metal festival Hellfest.

Downloaded: Clockwork Angels
Maybe it’s all the Hall of Fame hoopla, but I just picked up Rush’s latest. Pretty good!

Lawn Boy
Judging by the amount charged to my credit card today, I’ve obtained some lawn seats to go see Phish in July. Not the outcome I was hoping for, but it could have been worse.
