SF Beer Week 2017

SF Beer Week hosts a ton of beer related events within the span of about a week (duh). There are multiple events all over the bay each day of the week, but the majority of them take place in San Francisco. If I had my way, I'd go to at least one event each day and spend my beer week in a beery haze. Sadly, I only made it out to 3.

Bandcamp's Friday Fundraising Frenzy

On Friday, February 3rd, Bandcamp pledged to donate their portion (~12%) of any music sales to the ACLU. There were some artists and labels that also donated their proceeds as well (not always to the ACLU), but that was on a strictly volunteer basis.

Bandcamp has been an infinite goldmine of hiddem gems, and has been a great way for independent bands to stream and distribute their music. I generally don't like to purchase music off of Bandcamp simply because I prefer physical formats, and there's almost never a way to get free shipping. Every so often I will come across something that is only available through Bandcamp, so I'm forced to pay the shipping costs.

Best of the Bay Area

In this post I'd like to briefly highlight the best albums from bay area bands.  I'm not going to rank them this time, and I'm going to skip Fallujah and Cyborg Octopus since I covered them in my Best 16 albums of 2016 list.  I'm also going to be skipping some of the obvious ones like Death Angel, Testament, Autopsy, Neurosis, and some small band that rhymes with ShmeShmallica (I don't want to get sued by some guy that rhymes with Shmars Shmulrich). Without further ado, here they are in no particular order.
