I'm just listening to a Soul Coughing song called Mr. Bitterness - if you guys
have never heard any soul coughing, go out and get yourself some.
In any case, the beginning of the song describes a woman sitting at a bar
called the Bitter Sea drinking something called a Velvet Crush which M.
Doughty, the lead singer, describes as kool aid and gin. Depending on the
flavor, it might taste like bubble gum and the sneak-up-and-knock-you-down
effect sounds a lot like gin.
Woah, I just browsed through the webtender database and lo and behold, there
is the Velvet Crush, attributed to Soul Coughing. Will the wonders of Pal's
database never cease? I don't think so.
