A Year in the Life of Bottle the Curmudgeon Paul Tompkins

Bottle of Beef, Book 1. The book of the blog of the facebook posts from September 2019 to June 2020.




Somewhere below the Earth's surface, a man and his ragtag crew of imaginary minions run a media empire. This is not their story. Instead, please enjoy this completely unguided tour of their de facto leader's record collection (mostly inherited from his dad). Death, Communism, the Civil War, corporate malfeasance, drugs, depression, feminism, racism, how terrible it was to have Trump as President, these are just a few of the delightful topics he tackles one album at a time for an entire year (squeezed into 10 months, but who's really counting?).




Abandon all hope, ye who enter the Bunker of Beef. May your deity of choice say "Oof, yeah, I bet that was rough. At least it's over now, right?"
