I’m Baaack

Like Manny Ramirez in the spring of 2008, I’m back. I’m amped, I’m juiced, I’m ready to come out swinging. But I might take a few plays off.
Since my last post (holy shit was that over a year ago?) a lot has happened. If you’re wondering (from the last post), I did vote for Barack [...]

More Posts Coming Soon

Hi Everybody
I’ve been awful at updating this thing, but sometimes things like starting your own business or getting engaged take precedent over a blog that only about 50 people read each day. I have some new stuff coming soon…I’m going to start concentrating on trying to do stuff that’s less news and more opionated. Four [...]

Tour: The Loved Ones, The Hold Steady

Normally I don’t post about tours. There’s a million sites out there that do, so people can figure that shit out on their own. I thought this was a pretty cool lineup though. I think its cool when bands from different “scenes” tour together.
Also, the third time I saw The Hold Steady was when they [...]

Rock the Bells

Because my job is to get things placed on blogs and websites, I spend pretty much all day, every day on blogs reading about stuff. You’d think that this would give me more material to blog about, and that this would be updated more often. You’d be right about the first part, and wrong about [...]

Fight Night

Vs.
I’ve always preferred Stereogum over Pitchfork Media. They’ve always seemed a bit more honest, and a bit more realistic. Stereogum’s always had a much more positive outlook…like “hey this is rad, check it out” while Pitchfork just seems like they’re there to shock people. Yea, I get it, you’re snarky, elitist assholes.
