Pint Notes

Rebecca Ruiz is back from Bonaroo. Josh Wodarz never left the seedy basement bar.

They’ve got stories, beers from Tenessee, and new albums from Leyla McCalla, Death Valley Girls, Esme Patterson, and Claypool Lennon Delirium.

Plus, a dinosaur.

There’s great music and great beer for you on this episode of Half-Pints, Whole-Notes with Rebecca Ruiz and Josh Wodarz. Seriously, nothing was rated less than a 4. Beers from Indeed and Sixpoint Brewing, and they listened to Bob Dylan, Okonkola, OnDeadWaves, and Big Thief. Plus, a quick take that was so good, they decided while talking about it to move it to the next episode for a full review.

We’re back with another episode of the Internet’s only show about Beer and Music. Rebecca Ruiz and Josh Wodarz bring you four new reviews of Melt Yourself Down, Fruit Bats, Radiohead, and Colleen Green. Plus QT on Beyonce, Snoh Aalegra, The Honey Island Swamp Band, and Beverly.

And. of course. beers, as they look at a Clown Shoes Barista Breakfast Brown Ale and Swedish brewery Omnipollo’s Alibara Pale Ale with Lemon.

Let’s get back into the swing of things.

Becca Ruiz and Josh Wodarz remember Prince and his music with special guest Justin Ruiz. They also cover new albums from My Bubba, Deakin, Har Mar Superstar, and Wild Belle. All good releases, and some special memories of a legendary artist.

It was tough week for music. By “tough,” we mean there were a lot of good albums for Josh Wodarz and Rebecca Ruiz to choose from, but they were able to make the hard choices. Join them as they discuss excellent new albums from Andrew Bird, Margot Price, Blood Ceremony, and White Denim. Plus Tacocat, Shonen Knife, K. Michelle, and Japanese Breakfast.

Josh Wodarz and Becca Ruiz continue their trend of liking things. We know it’s hard to believe, we can hardly believe it ourselves. There’s good beer and good music to be had here. Chief among them are albums by Lucius, Dakota Slingshot, Mirror Travel, and Damien Jurado. Good enough, we could almost say it twice … But we won’t. Also, beers by Basecamp and Surly breweries.

Becca Ruiz and Josh Wodarz once again dive into the new releases to find some gems in the world of music. They take a look at Santigold, Loretta Lynn, Prince Rama, and Thao & The Get Down Stay Down. Plus, some quick takes on Willie Nelson singing Gershwin, punk whirlwind Adult Books, Lucy Dacus, and the Violent Femmes.

They also try out Summit’s Unchained 21: Us & Them.

After slogging through the slow wintry start of music releases that had been 2016, Rebecca Ruiz and Josh Wodarz find rays of hope, of early spring arriving in the form of some very solid albums from Basia Bulat, The Suffers, The Frights, and Wolfmother. Six Point brewery surprises them again and the annual return of Summit’s Maibock is debated. Join them.

And don’t mind the sound, a little different due to having to use a new mixer at the last minute.

Sorry, but Half-Pints, Whole-Notes has a guest this week. We’re calling it the Hell Furnace. You’ll be able to tune him out just like we did, chiefly by drinking beer and listening to music.

This week we have beers from podcast favorite brewers Sierra Nevada and Bent Paddle. For albums, we go through a slew of singer-songwriters: Shirlette Ammons, Walter Martin, Aubrie Sellers, and Anya Marina. Plus quick takes on The Lemons, GoGo Penguin, The Crookes, and Abi Reimold.

So; join Rebecca Ruiz and Josh Wodarz for another Half-Pints, Whole-Notes where they pretty much like everything. They want you to like everything, too.

Rebecca Ruiz and Josh Wodarz are moving forward with the new albums of 2016. And we learn that Josh has to keep moving forward because he can’t sit still. Nor can he see the forrest for the trees.

The duo review new albums by Savages, Julia Brown, and Hinds. They take a sip from Sixpoint Brewing in Brooklyn, NY and Oregon’s Deschutes Brewery.

Also, they speeed their way through quick takes on Eleanor Friedberger, Tommy V, Adrian Younge, The Besnard Lakes, and Cicely O’Kain.
