Hello everyone and welcome to another wonderful Tuesday evening here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. As some of you are bound to have noticed, the schedule has indeed undergone some incredibly drastic changes (I can't say I didn't worn you). I've been feeling very stifled, in terms of creativity, lately, so I decided to get rid of a majority of the schedule. All that's left is the Thursday = Band of the Week; Friday = Song of the Week; and Saturday = Album of the Week format. So, I hope you enjoy the very free schedule, and I hope it aids you on your long quest to musical enlightenment (that's why you're here, isn't it?)
Anyways, today's feature is two wonderful songs by Beulah and Charles Manson (Yes, it's the same Charles Manson you're thinking of). So, sit back and enjoy today's post.
Our first feature today is the song Night Is The Day Turned Inside Out by Beulah. Here's a bit about the band: Beulah is a rock band, formed in 1996, in San Francisco, CA. The band was started by Miles Kurosky and Bill Swan and the pair released their first single on the famous Elephant 6 records (after being discovered by The Apples In Stereo frontman Robert Schneider). Although they did not release anything else on the Elephant 6 label, they still have very close ties. This song is from their 2001 album The Coast Is Never Clear.

The last feature today is the song Angels Fear To Tread, by the infamous (I mean REALLY infamous) Charles Manson. Alright, before I continue, I'd like to let everyone know that the rest of this paragraph is going to be about Charles Manson, the musician, not the sociopath. Let's continue: This track was released on Mr.Manson's new album, entitled One Mind. After giving it a very thorough listen, I've concluded that this song sounds like a drunk and very skill-less (guitar wise) Hank Williams, mixed with Jim Morrison (who coincidentally was drunk and skill-less guitar wise.). The whole album is a mediocre (if not good) low-fi album, considering the conditions under which it was made (Prison!). I don't think I need to include any artist information, as Mr.Manson is already very well known. An interesting point, though, is that Charles decided to release this album under Creative Commons. If you don't know what Creative Commons is, click here.
