When Moon’s Collide
Joshua June 10th, 2009
In my world there are two moons – Pink Moon and Blue Moon. Recently I combined the two.
Blue Moon is a wheat ale beer with an orange peel flavor I have recently fallen in love with and Pink Moon is the third album by deceased British folk singer, Nick Drake, that I have been in love with for years. It may be one of the most beautifully depressing albums of all time by one of the most beautifully depressed songwriters of all time. (He overdosed on anti-depressants)
Roughly 30 minutes long, Pink Moon is short and sweet. The use of only a guitar and his voice on ten of the eleven tracks gives the album a very stark and bare atmosphere, a perfect accompaniment to the robust and rich flavor of Blue Moon.
Consume a pint (or two) of Blue Moon while listening to Pink Moon and you’ll have your self a very, very pleasant time.
