(Eric D. Johnson, yours truly, and Kevin Morby at Fisherman's Village Music Festival 2018) Friends, family, internet randos- it's been real.  Despite my glaring shortcomings when it comes to writing about music, I've given it my best (or close, anyway) effort for the last 28 months.  Fact is, I'm ready to spend a little less of … Continue reading The Blog Is Dead.

It’s been quite a ride for Dexter Holland and the boys from Garden Grove over the last (nearly) thirty years- have a listen and hear for yourself.

Well, this shitstorm isn’t ending anytime soon, so I beefed up the playlist.  Oh, speaking of shitstorm, diarrhea is NOT one of the symptoms, you TP hoarding psychos. Thanks to the internet (nods to KK) and yours truly having more time to consider this situation we find ourselves in, here is the new and improved … Continue reading My Official Playlist to the Coronavirus Pandemic, v2.0 →
