The Power and The Fury, aka "Welcome!"


Why hello there! We didn't hear you come in! Forgive us if we don't shake your hand! Ours are all covered in Coldplay and marzipan!

Surfing the internet today, I noticed a paucity of websites that discuss two of my passions (food and music) in tandem. If you know of a bunch of really awesome sites that have been doing this for years, please keep them to yourself, as it would make me look like an asshole. I found websites, magazines, and TV shows that cater to way more esoteric topics in tandem, such as Punk Rock and Baseball (Chin Music), Hip-Hop and Cars (Dub), and Perverts and Children (Boys Life and Highlights).

Now you're probably saying, "Penn, those are published magazines. You guys write an unread blog on in a dusty corner of the internet. The comparison is hardly apt".

Fuck you. We are doing our best. Take your MySpace ass to the curb.

Anyway, without discussing too much the virtue and value of hospitality and entertainment that food and music provide, I feel that both food and music were ingredients, nay, requisites for 90% of the good times I have enjoyed these 28 years into life. The other 10% probably involved sex or rollerblading. To what extent these two (food and music, not sex and rollerblading) are tethered or involved with one another is certainly something we at YHWYE intend to explore. The extent to which these things may totally exist but we are unable to discuss in an organized, lucid manner is also unknown. But probably large.

We also really like making fun of things and being pretentious about food, but that's really just incidental to our nobler pursuit of that shit above. Will we always agree? No! Will it always be entertaining? Probably not! Will we keep doing it until we win you over? Doubtful, but we'll see!

So to all the friends, family, and weirdos out there: Hang on! It's gonna be an exclamatory ride!!!

What a worthwhile pursuit! I think I speak for everyone when I say this is an awesome idea for everyone everywhere!

I hope you address delicious food and awesome music!

Our focus will be on comparing awesome music to delicious food and vice versa.

You are in luck, my anonymous friend!

I really like food and there is always music on the radio when i hit the drive-in so blog away! I would like to know your thoughts on unicorns and what they taste like and if you could eat one what band you would pair it with...I wish unicorns were real and they liked me.

Unicorns will never like you after what you did. Now they're just horses!

Unicorns have surprisingly tough meat for an animal of such an ethereal image. You gotta braise those fuckers for hours to choke them down.

Braised meats traditional go well with The Replacements and The Clash. But everything goes well with The Clash.

Eat well!
