BORP 41: Loving's If Only I Am My Thoughts/ Tigers Are Not Afraid/ Foamers Folly & Temporal Artisan Ales

Ok Team welcome to EP41 of BORP! We usually record about two weeks before each episode goes live. It's often a bit odd to write about things that we're going down two weeks in the past but it's never that much of a big deal. Of course in the last two weeks the world has been irrevocably changed, to the point where anything prior to the coronavirus breaking the world seems sadly irrelevant. On the flip side, after a week or so of being inundated like never before with one single unrelenting topic, hopefully it'll be a nice change to listen to something that's not related to our rehearsal for the end of the world. Tristan and Mick touch upon the Wet'suwet'on protests- and an artist named Black Belt Eagle Scout that might have something to say about it- that occupied much our our minds in February during less surreal times. Tristan threatens to start the political podcast that literally no one wants. There's beer too (8:24)! Mick brings out a surprisingly great IPA from Foamers Folly, and Tristan tests out a just plain surprising cranberry and red currant ale from Temporal Artisan Ales. Consider Mick's album pick (26:50) as one of the last bits of respite you may get for a while- we listened to the lovely album by Victoria's (ahem) Loving, If Only I Am My Thoughts. For movie time (1:22:13)Tristan picked one of the low key sleeper hits of the dark fantasy horror genre from recent years, Tigers Are Note Afraid. New and Note Worthy (2:06:23)features tracks from Calvin Love, Waxahatchee, Durand Jones, and Christine and The Queens. Between the last episode and now a heck load of great music has come out so this was just about the hardest round of picks to narrow down we've ever done. We wind down with three questions for Tristan (2:34:25)with a look back on the music of 2020 so far, and a quick peak into his thoughts on rom coms.
