Moosehead is a crisp beer with a very light taste. It reminds me of our domestic beer. It is very similar to Bud light.
I would not recommend this beer if you want flavor. It appears like drinking a Moosehead would be decent after a long day in the hot sun but any other time the beer seems too tame.
I must stress that this beer is not bad. On the contrary, I am sure this beer would be enjoyed by the less adventures domestic beer drinker who may be stuck in Canada. In general though this is your run of the mill lager that would be enjoyed most after working for a long time in the sun.
Back at Baylor I lived in North Village. Below is a video some of my nieghboors helped make. I posted it to google video but since they are migrating all videos off Google video I figured I would post it to youtube. Enjoy.
As graduation looms forth and I prepare to tie up all my loose ends and start a new life I have not had time to do a quality review in a while. I have plenty to review just very little time to do it. I assure you I will be back to it after graduation but until then I can't make any promises. I will post super cool videos though.
My friend Andy says that he doesn't' like Cage. I didn't know why until I heard/saw them live. Don't get me wrong I still like to rock out to "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" but the singer is a bit much.
I saw him rolling around on stage and looking rather... out of it during one of their songs. Maybe he was tired from traveling or something but I didn't much care for the performance.
Rating: 4/10 Below average
Evanescence wasn't as cool as she use to be either. Or maybe she is just as cool and I have grown up. She played her hits and did a decent show but she doesn't have anyone do the guy singing parts anymore. So here hit song Bring Me to Life lacked the guy singing about bring her to life... Some audience tried to compensated but it failed.

Cake was a godsend. They played songs from most of their albums. Also they had the audience singing different parts of their newest song "Sick of You". He split up the audience into about 1/4th and had them sing "I want to fly away" while the rest sang "I'm so sick of you; I'm so sick of me; I don't want to be with you." It was pretty epic. He started to slowly divide us with yells. He didn't tell us to he just started to raise his hands like a conductor and made each half compete. It was very engaging. I wasn't the biggest fan of the song when I first heard it but after seeing them perform it I am impressed.
This is just a small taste.
Rating: 8/10 Great (I would put it higher but they only get about an hour to play)
Garbage. Well I can say that they are not Garbage. Sure they haven't been here in 10 years but they have a few cool songs. I would have had Garbage go before Cake but that's just me. They entertained me with their few hits that I knew and put on a decent performance.
Rating: 7/10 Good
The Black Keys. Oh man. Talk about a band that rocks. I am so glad that they are getting the respect they deserve after playing for over a decade. To that point though I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. Maybe I was just tired after 3 days of non stop banquets, social events, and Edgefest but I was expecting a melting of my face. A rocking that would be as epic as My Morning Jacket. The show was good but not that good. Again they only had about an hour or so to rock it but I thought that they would have done better.

So how was the show overall? It was one of my lower ranking Edgefests that I have been to though I have only been to about 5. It was worth the price of entry and accommodation.
Edgefest 22 was pretty cool. I went this Sunday it was an adventure. The line up was
The Black Keys, Garbage, Cake, Evanescence, Cage the Elephant, Blue October, Arctic Monkeys, The Ting Tings, Neon Trees, Foxy Shazam, Civil Twilight, Switchfoot
I ended up getting there around when Civil Twilight was starting up. The only bands I really wanted to see were Cake, The Black Keys, Ting Tings and Arctic Monkeys. They did not disappoint though the last two played while I was wondering around the stadium.
I usually like to review one band or one song for the site but I decided to review all of Edgefest. I have been to 4 or 5 Edgefests so I sort of know the drill. You pay about $55 for a ticket through Ticketmaster and you get about 2 really great bands and some bands with their current hits on the radio. Also you have to calculate that Blue October, Evanescence, and a few other stables will probably be there. Last year was epic since Weezer, Jane's Addiction, Airborne Toxic Event, Young the Giant, Panic at The Disco. Flogging Molly, AWOLNATION, and many more were there.
Of course that show sold out within the day. This show did not sell out. Still the price is about right for 2 good bands and a day long event.
Pizza Hut park does need to fix a few things. They have very few water fountains. I went up to a few stands to just buy a cup of ice but they said they had to charge me $4 for water. I wouldn't mind except this is Texas and people need water to live. I saw very few water stations for people to go to for hydration and trust me I saw plenty of people who needed water.
I wasn't front and center for the whole concert so I can only review Cage the Elephant and the bands above it. I would like to make a quick note that Foxy Shazam sounded fairly bad and the other bands sounded above average.
I love horror movies. I love Drew Goddard since his days on “Buffy.” I have a secret geek crush on Fran Kranz since his short stint on the underrated “Dollhouse.” So naturally, you’d assume that I’m a shoe-in for liking “The Cabin in the Woods.” But I can’t help but feel like I could have spent those two hours of my life that I spent in this movie doing something productive, like oh say masturbating or pooping.
Not actual picture of Brett masturbating or pooping.
I was psyched for this movie, and perhaps my dismal opinion of the film itself is a product of all the hype surrounding it. I had high expectations and somehow, the film managed to shit on all of them. That mind-blowing twist you’ve heard critics raving about? Yeah… it was as if a third grader wrote it after snorting lines of Pixie Sticks and drinking too many cans of Surge.
We think "The Cabin in the Woods" is a better name than "Poopy Pants House", Tyler.
As an avid lover of all things horror, I can tell you the movie was neither scary nor half as “meta” or clever as an episode of “Community.” I guess I expected a tribute to the “Scream” franchise, but unfortunately the movie didn’t even come close. The movie fails because it’s neither scary nor clever, and what results is a sort of bastard byproduct of a script that doesn’t know exactly what the fuck it is. It wasn’t scary, it wasn’t all that funny, and it wasn’t anything that I haven’t seen done before.
Brett's WTF face during the movie.
What made “Scream” so amazing to the horror genre was it’s ability to both scare and humor it’s audience. It turned film clichés on their heads and surprised the audience with twists that actually made sense within its universe. “The Cabin in the Woods” tries to do the same, but it’s like watching a mentally retarded child try and recite the alphabet backwards. Neither all that hilarious, nor all that exciting. Read the spoilers, skip the movie, and go watch a good horror movie instead.
