@RichardPF Coffee and baked goods (esp biscuits) are incredible at Tandem Coffee. We’re pretty obsessed with the Spicy Beef at Central Provisions, and I had a superb Boulevardier and watched a good chunk of Batman (1989) at Sagamore Hill Lounge.
@TPrice504 Sunday Roast always feels festive to me, and I’ve always gravitated towards Marquis Cornwallis WC1 or The Holly Bush NW3. The latter also allows for nice walks on the Heath and visits to other great places in Hampstead Village.
@jimseven & other knowledgeable coffee people - I’m travelling and these are the only 2 options: a) get good beans ground at cafe on a pro grinder OR b) fresh grind daily but on lousy blade grinder. Beans will be entirely consumed inside of 4 days. What is lesser of 2 evils?
@ChrisCj1974@JasonIsbell And superb guitar tones! But also that weird part before the last chorus where the toms are aggressively overdubbed and don’t match the drum tones from the rest of the song
@mattydoom Absolutely monstrous sounding record. The drum tones are maybe the biggest I’ve ever heard, and the low end is both huge AND punchy. I also love the judicious use of tambourine
@JeffPinyan@How2Drink I had exactly the same thought. I’m sad that somehow HTD is colliding with the waste of characters to whom my left-leaning faith-based Twitter people are constantly responding.
@marcjolicoeur For additional clarity, I mean that this seems to be required for art/artists to be labeled as “Christian”. I expect that whether that label is a benefit or detriment to its adoptees varies case by case, with some striving to maintain labeled status, others actively rejecting it
@marcjolicoeur Not so much conformity wrt distribution channels, but more about adoption of the existing stylistic or aesthetic norms of peers using the same label and public compliance with (or acquiescence to) the social/theological perspectives of the expected audience.
