Impeccable performance that somehow even transcends the album recording. This is truly one of the best songs of the 2020s, and one of the best modern bands doing it.

Just finished Stranger Things S1 with my daughter, which is kind of insane because she was 4 when it came out. She’s hooked, and I get to enjoy it all over again vicariously.

I need to make time to do more collage work in 2026. I find it brain-soothing and extremely rewarding.

Sorry to disappoint the fish fans! Picked up this Affinity P-Bass for $75 on FB. Fixed the intonation and the bridge saddles, restrung it (it wasn’t even strung properly), and re-soldered the input jack (it wasn’t even connected.) It also had a grounding issue, which I fixed. Sounds pretty boss!

Just bought a bass, but because of how silly our language is, you’ll have to guess if I meant a fish or a musical instrument.

Haven’t recorded an episode of my podcast since May. Just recorded a 3 hour year-end special, and it felt amazing to be behind the mic again, cutting up with one of my best friends on this planet. We are so back!
