This Post Features Nate Dogg

Through the power of Twitter and further internet research, I learned that Nate Dogg passed away. I readily admit I don’t listen to a whole lot of rap or hip hop, but pretty much any song I heard that featured Nate Dogg was awesome. So awesome that my friends & I thought there should’ve been an album “Featuring Nate Dogg.”

This is one of my favorite songs involving Nate Dogg not called Regulate. It’s Gotta Find a Way, off 213’s album “The Hard Way.”

Alestorm – Shipwrecked

Alestorm, those masters of the genre known as Scottish pirate metal, have a new album coming out, titled Back Through Time. They also just released one of the tracks, Shipwrecked:
Shipwrecked by Alestorm
These guys shred and if this track is any indicator, the album is going to be just as amazing as their others. Apparently they got actual brass and strings to fill out the parts that were usually played by keytar, and it totally gives the songs a different polish than their older tracks.

Firestone Double Jack IPA

I think I may have had my favorite beer of 2011 today. The mutually assured destruction that came with IPAs (let’s add 200 more lbs of hops to this batch) finally was countered with a sweet, delicious, and smooth beer that is incredibly delicious. Copper Hog serves it in a 12 oz glass so it’s a little strong, but the flavors are phenomenal.

Even Seattle Beer News is digging on it.
