"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

Handy Haversack:

@sphere: the one in the largest bottle these days!

I usually go for Beefeater as a standard gin, but our local liquor store does not carry it in handles. So we have Bell Ringer. Quarantini conditions demand quantity over experimentation, I'm afraid.

Thanks, Jennica!

I tried using Caskers but their service was a disaster. Thankfully, New Hampshire started curbside pickup.

@Jennica, I wouldn't even know how! I have a friend in Edinburgh who found a good liquor-delivery company, and his quarantini game has gone *deep*. But our local doesn't do it. So I have my periodic liquor-store scrambles.

Krys O.:

TCM aired A Man Called Adam this week and I caught the last third of it. Such a bizarre movie. I loved Cicely Tyson in it, of course, but couldn't fathom Frank Sinatra Jr. as a jazz musician.
Avatar 9:47am
John Allen:

krys, do they ever reveal what instrument frank jr plays? Or was it just jazz...
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:50am
Krys O.:

For the life of me, I couldn't tell you. The edits were fast and jagged. I mostly recall the scene where Sinatra Jr.'s character, Vincent gets beaten up and Sammy Davis Jr. is unable to help him, thus sending Sammy down a spiral of relapse.
Avatar 9:51am
John Allen:

Wait, sammy relapses because he cant help a friend? That sounds more like dean martin
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:51am
terminalhipness:

Krys, JA - '...Adam' does sound strange. Peter Lawford? Maybe I'll look in the on-demand.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:51am
Krys O.:

Funnily enough, there are production stills online that show FS Jr. with a cornet just like Sammy's.

Thats pretty hip, cornet used to be a lead horn. In 1920.

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:30am
Handy Haversack:

Though now I'm wondering what kind of semiotic membranes there are between "spritzer" and "and soda" in American English. Like, I drink Cynar and soda -- and think of it as such, rather than a spritzer.

Also, I have a tendency to just shout "CYNAR!" Especially in games of Risk. Though that's less relevant.
Avatar 10:30am
Jennica:

spritzer is a blend whereas soda can be soda on it's own

But sodas were originally hand-mixed.
Avatar 10:33am
sphere:

@ Handy - that's a good question. my guess is that spritzers try to be lower alcohol than "**** and soda.)
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:34am
Handy Haversack:

If I say "gimme a vermouth and soda," are they going to charge me spritzer prices? Crudbringer, what do the numbers say?

Hmmm, sphere, very possible ... very possible! Maybe in bar parlance, spritzers are always "tall."

Handy Haversack:

The semiotics of spritzers!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:42am

It's called a "spritzer" so that it doesn't _sound_ like you're day-drinking when you order it.

David (in London):

Well, I asked that nice Monsieur Barthes, and he just scowled at me and said "Just shut up and give me a drink, s'il vous PLAIT!"

It might be cooler to drink "...and soda" vs. a spritzer and @Crud, you have a solid point, per usge
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:46am
Crudbringer:

Yeah, it has the veneer of "health/wellness". Focus on the "herbal" content of the Campari/amaro/Cynar/whatever, ignore the fact that it's gonna get you schnockered. Patent remedies for the Goop-and-crystal set.
