Another big delay, but the addition of a new feature.

So I am going to review stoner metal, aka sludge metal. Here's my first one. I have not fully committed on a ratings system, yet. Perhaps x stoned hippies out of 5? I think this would be a reverse scale, where the least amount of stoned hippies would be the best. Who wants stoned hippies around?

My first album is the self-titled album by "Witch". It starts out marvelously, with the track Seer. this is an eight minute track, which sets the stage for the remainder of the album. The guitars are great, with good solos in each of the songs. Who says solos are only for thrash metal? Sure, they're not the ear splitting Dragonforce-esque solos, but musically just as appealing.

The album continues along, then hits a slow dirge in "Rip Van Winkle" (fittingly). This track sludges along, until the last 45 seconds, where it builds its pace until the end.

There's two tracks left, and I have to admit they fall off a bit. They are not bad tracks, just not as good.

Listening to this music makes me want to swill booze, and that is a good thing.

2 stoned hippies out of 5.

Hobo Wine Review: Joose Raspberry Lemonade

Here's the first of two reviews of drinks that were imbibed last night. You should have seen this post before I edited it for spelling. Not a pretty sight.

Review: Gunvault BB3000 Security Cable

We can all hope for a little bit more security. Make no mistake, this is a pretty thin cable, but it will stop someone from running off with your gunvault.

Hobo Wine Review: Johny Bootlegger

Welcome to the first review of Hobo Wine Reviews, by me.

Today's little bit of Jeebus is Johny Bootlegger's "Sing Sing Sour Grape". Crec picked this up at a local 7-11 for us to try out.

Packaging: The bottle is a small glass flask, only holding 6.8oz of nectar. The label is clearly trying to capitalize on their gimmick, which the prohibition era "Johny Bootlegger" (Yes, one "n". Ridiculous.)

Tasting Notes: The first thing you notice is the beverage's bright purple color. Opening the bottle, you get a whiff of a foul smelling concoction. Crec was instantly put off, but I have smelt horrible dranks, that turned out to taste great. This was one of those drinks. It basically tastes like a liquid grape jolly rancher, with booze in it. The mouthfeel is non-offensive.

Rating: I'm giving this one three stabbed hobo's out of five. It lost points for the small bottle, and the one "n" spelling of johnny.
