Liquor and Liqueur

I've always found it odd that the pronunciations of the words "liquor" and "liqueur" seem to be reversed. Liquor, pronounced "lick-er", is spelled like it should be pronounced "lick-or". Likewise, liqueur, which is pronounced "lick-or", looks like it should be pronounced "lick-er".

I was once a bartender and this is the kind of stuff I would think about on slow days.

[RECAP] Goodbye Blue Monday 9/4/11

I'm a little late with the recap of the last show, but hey, it's only rock and/or roll. We played another acoustic set in the backyard garage (or "theater" to hear them tell it) at Goodbye Blue Monday. I really love that venue. During the Summer they barbecue burgers and such out back, and the scent of grilled goodness drifting across a stage during a performance of twangy acoustic music is absolutely copacetic.

[LIVE] Hosey at Goodbye Blue Monday Sept 4th, 9pm

What's the end of the Summer without a BBQ? Nothing, that's what. And what's an end of Summer BBQ soundtracked by Hosey? Something. Come out and join us in the backyard garage at Goodbye Blue Monday in Brooklyn for delicious eats and an acoustic set from y'all's trulies. We'll be playing some new songs, old favorites, and some choice covers. There will be a lot of other excellent bands performing, plus cheap drinks and beautiful people, as in super awesome people who know how to have fun. Drinks are cheap and the cover is free. Uh huh, that's right, zero dollars. See you there!

Stolen from The Colbert Report

MTV and I were born at the same time, but after 30 years I'm the one who is still playing music. Score one for me.
