Will Oldham gets a coffee blend, now Craig Finn gets his own beer. Clear Heart will “contains a melody of bitterness and citrus notes, the fresh hops and malted barley are in harmony within this golden brew, a full-bodied taste with an easy finish,” and is named after Finn’s solo album, which is a reference to Friday Night Lights.

When is somebody going to give praise to Cthulhu? A Romanian wonders what is up with America’s obsession with Dracula. The possible Tea Party analogy and other interesting facts about the Reagan appointed judge who ruled […]
