Naturally I'll say it's the wine.

Mmmm, it does go well with the Jose Gonzalez

Type O NEgative

Playing a certain type of music can enhance the way wine tastes, research by psychologists suggests.
The article says that Jimi Hendrix is good with a Cabernet, Blondie goes with Chardonnay, and that Jose Gonzalez is your man when you're drinking Merlot.

Shane MacGowan can make the case for rose wine.

What about Type O Negative? I have seen Peter Steel down bottles during his shows.

Well I'm down in the alley of Sally and I'm feeling my way
And it's four in the morning, I don't have a lot I can say
I know I'm looking for some satisfaction
But there ain't much news
Got some walking from a back reaction
I'm hanging down and loose

Me and the boys have been drinking
Feeling like this is the wrong time for thinking
All I can say is I'm doing fine with just me and my wine

Now my brain and my body are runnin' on different rails
And I died and just say hi what if all else fails
Oh I woke up in a subway station
Lying half dead on the floor
I don't remember anything
What happened the night before

Oh me and the boys have been drinking
Feeling like this is the wrong time for thinking
All I can say is I'm doing fine with just me and my wine

Now listen
My hair's a real mess, I feel and look like a joke
And there's a hole in my jeans
I just ran right out of smokes
You know I'd like to get to know you
But I ain't got the time
I'm finding it harder and harder
To make this damn thing rhyme

Just me and my wine
Well just me and my wine
You know that I'm doing fine
Well just me and my wine
Thank you

Virgin Mary's go well with Vampire Weekend.

hmmm... jimi's music was once compared to heavy metal falling from the sky - that's cabernet. blondie are way past their prime - chardonnay. merlot must be sleep-inducing, like jose gonzalez.

i think anything in a box would be nicely accompanied by the bravery.

Jimi Hendrix died from red wine poured down his throat by the CIA after passing out from the 13 barbituates they slipped him. He did NOT die of a drug overdose--according to the autopsy, he died of choking on vomit. Most of the wine wasn't even digested, which means he was unconscious when he supposedly drank it, and Jimi had never been a drinker.

So the wine for listening to Hendrix would seem to be a Cabernet.
