Sweet Talk
From the brain flow of Paste's Editor At Large:
Some nefarious music hounds from Decatur twisted my outsized ego into creating a dialogue littered with opinionated recommendations and myopic rants. Therefore, to put a smidgen of decency back into nepotism, I have stolen the title "Sweet Talk" in homage of my father who had a weekly sports and leisure column of the same in the early 70's that was syndicated in several small town newspapers in the land the gods made great, New England (sans Connecticut of course). Luckily this space will focus more on sporting leisure, my favorite kind.

Good call on Earl Greyhound… though when I saw them, it was a Monday night and I think I was drinking PBR. Probably because I’m froogle.
"a Russian freeze with Kettle One and Ginger Beer” ... OK, I’ve gotta know what that is.
I liked The Old Ceremony a lot when I first listened, and it’s grown on me. “Papers In Order” is an instant classic.
Russian Freeze: Pour 4 oz of freezer chilled Kettle One, a floater of ginger beer and a single micro drop of vanilla over crushed ice and pound as fast as possible
froogle.... it’s like a cheap google
haha
