First Taste: New Bon Iver

Bon Iver also known as Justin Vernon, the pride and joy of Eau Claire, Wisconsin released his first single off his new album, which drops in about a month. This is a good jam, and you can download it for free at pitchfork.com. Definitely something to put in your study mix this week if you still got finals like this poor sap.  I have one more thing to post, then I am done for the day.  More from me this week though, school's out.. blogs increase greatly.

First Taste: Houston's Superhero

Wow.  I have to assume that this guy was drunk because you can do some special shit with a nice buzz working like superhuman stuff.  If he did not have anything to drink, my next assumption is this guy is a parkour warrior, and he bet his friends he could escape Minute Maid back.  What an American hero. I got a couple things ready to go, but then I will be on my No Days Off flow for the rest of the day.

First Taste: Falling Star (R3K Remix)

This is a pretty awesome mash-up. It has a funky beat plus includes two artists I enjoy very much in Kid Cudi and Florence and the Machine. A good jam to play outside today when working on homework, or when you get done with your finals. I will be away from the Tap today sadly after the 10 AM, so enjoy me while you can a-holes.

First Taste: Well This Is Awkward

Big Cat gave me this last night, and as a journalism student, I feel bad for the blonde who had to do the Shake Weight report then I feel bad when the anchor refers to South Park. That's when things got weird and the most sexual innuendo I have ever seen from a newcast. I am assuming they got in some trouble, but then again, it's Los Angeles. They live a fake life there.

First Taste: Live Jack Johnson To Start Your Monday

I know I haven't been around much to take care of my pride and joy SnoTap that it makes me sick, but just want to let you guys know that I am still around here.  Trust me, give me until next Wednesday and I will be back in full force for the summer. We do have Mitchy getting a press pass for Greinke Fest tonight (Sike! but really he is going).  Enjoy a nice Jack Johnson live tune I have been digging lately, and have a good one.

First Taste: The Golden Age

This is a good tune that you might have heard on the Heineken commercial in the past couple of months. I was downloading some music from Barstool U, and this song came up, which sounded familiar. It is a good way to start your Cinco de Drinko.  This probably the worst fake drinking holiday in the 12th month calendar, I mean it's suppose to show Mexican independence and heritage, but college kids just get hammered. St. Patrick's Day is pretty much the same way.

Chewy Wishes You A Happy Star Wars Day!

I read on Twitter that today is Star Wars Day. Who know that it's an actual holiday, but I am sure it's celebrated by a ton of people. Personally, my favorite character in Star Wars is Chewbacca. I love Chewy, the guy is awesome plus my friend Doz does the best Chewy impression in all our the greater midwest.  Hopefully, we have more stuff today, but school is getting very busy.

First Taste: Fast Lane

This song came out last week, and it's an absolute banger.  Both Eminem and Royce Da 5'9  destroy the beat and have a really good flow with each other.  This is the first song off their much anticipated EP titled 'Bad Meets Evil' which drops on June 14th. Hopefully, this will be a fun sports day.

-Charlie.

First Taste: Cool Stuff From The US Navy

(Props to Barstool Boston for this one)

Celebrations were everywhere in the United States over the death of Osama Bin Laden last night. This is just a great morale boost for the United States of America, and I am proud to say I am an American today. I will be rocking my Jozy Altidore jersey to class today, just repping the U-S-A.

First Taste: The Biggest Packer Draft Bust

Here's to the worst Green Bay Packers' draft pick of all time: Tony Mandarich.  The Pack missed out on Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders, and Derrick Thomas that year by taking this freak athlete. It's funny because if Mandarich taught us anything, it's not to trust the pure athletes. Remember they have to play football too.  Yet teams still make this mistake all the time.

First Taste: Miller Park Hawk v. Tony Plush

Like I said last night, there was outpouring support for the Miller Park Hawk yesterday. There were so many different searches looking for information on the hawk.  I personally am flattered, but now, I am wondering who is the better fake Twitter follow: Miller Park Hawk or Tony Plush, the gentleman alter-ego of Nyjer Morgan.  I mean the Hawk tweets consistently, but Plush brings it everyday at least one time.  In case you don't Tweet, I will give you the best tweets from both of them.  Vote on the poll in the upper right hand corner.  

Best tweet for Miller Park Hawk: Hopefully MPH won't require a #slumpbuster after tomorrows game. What was Ryan Braun's girls number again? #caw

Best Tweet from Tony Plush:  Plush decided a DL stint was like being locked in a Chekhov story, minus the profound mysteries. There was only sadness.

First Taste: Charles Bradley

Some old school soul for you from a new artist Charles Bradley. He is pretty old, and this usually isn't my type of music although I really like this song.  A nice little jam to start off your Thursday.

-Charlie.

First Taste: 'You Look Like Michelle Kwan In The Drag'

With the impending snow soon to be here, I feel like Ari Gold.  I am just pissed off beyond belief, and feel a nice 10 minute compilation of Mr. Gold's best work in the first two seasons is a good choice for the morning. I would not get in my way in the next couple days with the snow.

-Charlie.

First Taste: Kanye at Coachella

Kanye. West. I am still thinking about the concert I witnessed on my computer last night. I have a ton of thoughts on this, and I will share them very shortly.  Also Harrison Barnes stays, and what the hell happened in Washington?

-Charlie

First Taste: XV Is 'Awesome'

This is a new track from XV titled Awesome featuring Pusha T. This is a great jam to start your Friday morning off, it makes me feel like I am better than anyone else. XV is also coming out with a mixtape today, so if you like this song, cop the mixtape sometime today.

-Charlie.

First Taste: Brian Brohm Is Better Than Aaron Rodgers

(Props to Jason Wilde's Twitter (@jasonjwilde) for this find)

Man, there are sometimes where I wish we lived in a world without the internet.  Everything someone says can come back and bite them square in the ass.  This is what happened here as both Todd McShay and Merrill Hodge believed Brian Brohm was better than Aaron Rodgers.... whoops. Don't really know what you are getting today from us, stay tuned and see.

-Charlie.

First Taste: Bruce Boudreau Inspires on Wednesday Morning

This is how I inspire all the other SnoTap writers to get to the keyboards.  Also I am showing this video for the 5th time on here because the Washington Capitals start their quest for the Stanley Cup. I already said after HBO's 24/7 that I would be cheering for the Caps in the playoffs, and I truly mean that.  Go Caps!

First Taste: 414 Boyz's Bang Bang

These are a couple of my high school friends rapping on a beat from 'Bang, Bang from Dispatch.' It's enjoyable song and great one to blare on a sunny, summer day grilling out. We have the Brewers-Pirates preview, potential NHL playoff breakdown, and what's wrong with the Celtics.

-Charlie.

First Taste: Alan! Alan! Alan!

One of the funniest videos I have seen in the last month. Dr. Dan showed us this, and it got quoted the whole weekend.  At one point on Saturday night, Seth texts me ALLEN!  But we got an interesting day, golf and baseball talk maybe with a dash of basketball.

-Charlie.

First Taste: Keep The FIBS Out Of Miller Park

Didn't think I would do it? You don't know me well enough.  I had to play something to fire up the Brewers fans up for the first game against the Chicago Cubs. Will the Brewers probably lose by 10 because I threw up this video up today?  Yup. Fant and Brett are pretty good Cubs fans, but I don't like most of them. I enjoy this song like some did with Stairway to Heaven.  Enjoy the weekend, don't start fights with Cubs fans, usually they are the more immature ones even though it's not even their stadium.
