I want to call these guys the Led Zepplin of 2018. But then sometimes they sound like Thundercat, the Grateful Dead, and a host of other players you know and love, all underneath a layer of fuzz. And that’s a very, very good thing. Ministry of Alienation is one of the chiller tracks on their new album, “Sex & Food,” which shifts its energy from unintelligible rock to sweet nothings to psychedelic wanderings. This is a Friday album if I’ve ever heard one.

This is a story I can’t stop talking about. Mostly because the headline is so inflammatory– no public eating in a whole city?! People gotta eat! The reality, though, is perfectly reasonable. Florence is so full of snacking tourists that they are legitimately posing a transit issue on a few major streets, so the city has imposed no-food zones to keep their foot traffic sane. And suddenly a totally offensive story is kind of charming. Ta-da!

After Cynthia Nixon’s bagel fiasco (leave a lady alone), Grub Street published an article encouraging politicians to refrain from eating in public so that we can’t judge them for being gross. Which *is* pragmatic advice but let’s take a collective moment to feel ashamed of ourselves for giving a shit about cinnamon and lox.
