Happy Birthday Mike Muir of SuicidalTendencies!! This is a pic in the press area at Riot Fest a little while back. Were we talking about wild stories from the early days of hardcore? Government overreach? No. He was telling me how smart his son is and how should devote more time to his homework lol

I've been growing my hair out and when I slick it back, my imagination tells me it's like a Bradley Cooper bro-flow. In reality, its more like Viggo Mortensen as Lucifer in The Prophecy haha

There was a record store near me where I'd always go with my Dad. They had this poster hanging in there. I always always stoked on but wondered how they got up there lol

Bryan Adams was born in November of 1959, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say his song "Summer of '69" is *probably* a mild exaggeration.

On Your Own (Crouch End Broadway Mix) YouTube video by Blur - Topic

I feel like the William Orbit remix of Blur's "Own Your Own" (from The Beach OST) was the proper bridge from Blur to Gorillaz.

Technically, Paul Simon's "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" only lists five specific methods for leaving one's lover. Maybe the other 45 ways are nefarious or at the very least, not fit for proper table conversation?

I don't think there's an album that makes me want to dance and fight like FUNHOUSE by The Stooges. It really is that record.

I get all sorts of pushback on music takes (I write for a music publication) but the people who lack media literacy and get the most upset are typically one of two camps:

1. sweaty incels who think anything less than foot washing worship is a call for their fav's head.

2. white people named Todd

Pop-Punk | Privilege, Sexism, and Complicity - Bearded Gentlemen Music A deep dive into why the pop-punk aesthetic could be a mask for systemic sexism, White privilege, and a problematic lack of accountability.

While fun for some, being 40 and nasally singing about high school hierarchy is the definition of cringe. But there's a deeper conversation regarding #PopPunk many fans have avoided for too long. @aarxn82.bsky.social has done his homework.
