Jawbox to Reunite on “Fallon” Say what you will about Jimmy Fallon’s unctuous, sycophantic interview style, but the man has turned his show into probably the most dependable late-night TV music stop since mid-90s Conan. This goes way beyond Fallon hiring the Roots as his house band. Last week, he hosted the Dirty Projectors and Sunny Day Real Estate on consecutive nights. And in two months, he’ll play host to the first performance in 12 years from D.C. post-hardcore heroes Jawbox, Billboard reports. Back in July, we reported that the band was preparing to reissue their 1994 major label debut For Your Own Special Sweetheart.

Jawbox to Reunite on “Fallon”

Dogfish Head - Theobroma

I picked this up yesterday and am anxious to try it. Here is a description of the beer from the Dogfish Head site:

This beer is based on chemical analysis of pottery fragments found in Honduras which revealed the earliest known alcoholic chocolate drink used by early civilizations to toast special occasions. The discovery of this beverage pushed back the earliest use of cocoa for human consumption more than 500 years to 1200 BC. As per the analysis, Dogfish Head’s Theobroma (translated into ‘food of the gods’) is brewed with Aztec cocoa powder and cocoa nibs (from our friends at Askinosie Chocolate), honey, chilies, and annatto (fragrant tree seeds).

If you have had it, what did you think?
