Carnivale Brettanomyces (Brett Will Eat Everything)

Image
A festival dedicated to the funkier side of beer launched today at Oedipus Brewing in Amsterdam.  I caught up with Jan from De Bierkoning bottleshop to talk about his love for these organisms with funny names like Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Acetobactor, Torulaspora, Kluyveromyes and Debaryomyces.  Ya dig? Q: Carnivale Brettanomyces "A beer festival dedicated to Brettanomyces  and other wild things"   - please can you share with us how your  festival idea came around, how long you've been going and where the  festival is based? This will be the 4th episode. Number one took place in 2012.

New Wax Poetics

Go read...... WAX POETICS "Janelle Monáe  eschews the prosaic biographical trappings in favor of the science fiction of alter-ego android Cindi Mayweather, believing that robots represent an  otherness . She is seemingly at odds with current R&B radio, yet she was signed by Diddy and has found crossover success.  Jody Watley  did not want to be an industry puppet. She broke free, joined forces with like-minded superfreak André Cymone, and established herself as an artist who took control of all aspects of her public persona from songwriting to style.  Todd Rundgren  embraced all styles.
