For the Vegans: Beyond Bread

Lately I've been addicted to the sourdough loaves available at Beyond Bread, seriously. It's pretty much all I want to eat now that Taco Shop is iffy on ingredients. I was disappointed to find out that no website I could find had a definitive list of vegan breads available there; there were only lists of soups (which I'm sure will be helpful when it stops being 110 fucking degrees outside constantly). I took it upon myself to make a list of what breads I could and couldn't eat. Don't worry, all the starters used are a basic sourdough starter, which means no non-vegan ingredients. Keep in mind, however, that if you're more strict about using bleached flour, only the wheat breads are suitable for you. So, without further ado...
The Definitive List of Beyond Bread Vegan Breads:
Baguette (Plain), Ciabatta, Cinnamon Raisin, Cracked Wheat, Cranberry Pecan, Fig & Pistachio, Garlic Italian, Kalamata Olive, Parisienne, Pretzel, Rosemary, Rustic, Rye, Sourdough, Sun Dried Tomato & Basil, Semolina, Walnut, White, Wheat.

XWALRUSX/Important Documents - "Bananarchy 2010/Law & Ordercore" 10"

XWALRUSX is one of Tucson's only straight edge powerviolence bands, maybe the only one? Important Documents are their thrashing friends from Humboldt, CA who apparently really love bananas. This is a limited-edition 10" translucent red vinyl released on Bonecutter/Goin' Ape Shit Records (both outta my hometown). The XWALRUSX side is undoubtedly better-polished, heavier, and more familiar to locals. The Important Documents side is fast, sloppy, and possesses a sound that I wouldn't mind hearing on a weekly basis. Number one reason this is posted here: Walrus are my friends and they play at Dry River all the time. This record is fast, heavy, and feels very personal. Track listings will be up later, but the files do have ID3 tags, which means you shouldn't need them.

P.S. Look out for a guest post by my friend Joaquin within the next couple of days! I'm sick with the flu and he's kind enough to write a post or two.

Fishbone - "Truth and Soul"

I really love this album. There's not much else to say. Part funk, part ska, part new wave, part punk, part hair metal (yes), and part comedy. Fishbone is awesome, but an acquired taste. I got this on cassette a few years ago from the aforementioned neighbor. It's like a Sublime made of real, live black people! (I hope that didn't sound racist, I'm just not down with whiteboy reggae.) Fishbone are an amazing band and I was lucky enough to see them a few Halloweens ago. If there's a band that you should listen to while dressed as Tank Girl and being the only minor in a crowd of too-friendly drunk old men and University students, Fishbone is probably it. Their shows don't turn out a lot of people, but this album contains their two huge singles "Ma and Pa" and "Freddie's Dead." This is a great starter for a really esoteric, underrated band.

Apologies.

Due to my mother's delinquent payments to our next door neighbor, I got bawled out for stealing internet (when I really thought we were paying the bill). I've been rather quickly discovering just how much of a scumbag my mother is, letting me and others get in serious trouble before admitting her own mistakes. I pray I don't turn out that way.


Anyway, posting should resume...uh...today.
