Imbibe the Vibe

Lionel Ritchie & Even More Cosmos

It's been way too long. Alex takes a stab at bartending, mixing some Cosmopolitan riffs for the crew, while we reflect on another secret Totos album, Lionel Ritchie's "Can't Slow Down" form 1983.We promise we won't leave you this long without new eps ever again!Have fun out there.

Steely Dan & Highballs

The boys finally dig into one of the richest, most layered record of the 1970s. That's right, Steely Dan's Aja. And what better types of cocktails to match with this level of studio perfectionism and virtuosity than a set of precision made highball drinks?Have fun out there.

Shots & Beers & Supergroups

The crew listens to two records showcasing legendary artist combinations, while tasting the most legendary of beverage combinations - the Boilermaker; that's right....a shot and a beer.Hear what kind of rye fits with the raspy whisper of Tom Petty in the Traveling Wilburys, and what kind of Pale Ale works best with the commanding baritone of Johnny Cash from the Highwaymen. Plus much more.Have fun out there.

Drinking Through the 80s Part 2 of 2: Steve Winwood's Back in the High Life

We round out our 2 parter on the eighties with the more urbane, yuppie side of the decade, both musically, and mixologically. Alex talks about how Patrick Bateman should have had this record as one of his featured album reviews in American psycho, while Crist misses Van Halen, and Ian and Skye enjoy the "Finer Things" like a classy wet Martini.Have fun out there.

Drinking Through the 80s Part 1 of 2: Van Halen's 1984

The Record Club tries to salvage some of the most tarnished of eighties drinks by elevating the quality of ingredients, with results ranging from creating some newfound respect for some previously maligned mixed drinks, to solidifying others in the category of 'unsalvageable.' One thing was decided as indisputable: VAN HALEN ROCKS.Have fun out there.
