Lightning Bolt, Grizzly Bear, Tennessee meets

-
During this last week in a half I have been putting my body in and out of shows. I saw Lightning Bolt & Witch Hat two nights ago at Floristree which turned out to be such an intense performance by literally one of the best drummers in the world. Stage dives, body slamming, warehouse drinks! Awesome time with everyone plus I got to hangout with both the Brian's after the show. Then yesterday I became aware Grizzly Bear was playing 9:30 club and tickets were sold out! But no matter there is always take train there and hope someone is selling some, turns out there's some dude from Tennessee also looking to buy a ticket, long story short him and I both find tickets and start talking and he's a great dude him and I buy unlimited drinks watch the show (great set) and he ask where i'm staying? I say no where I have to wait till the train comes in the morning to go back to home. He says it's cool i'll drive you back home to Baltimore man. So we get out of this great show, tell weird fucking stories about three sums/ & hookers and contests and he drops me back to my house. Awesome time and such a pleasure meeting the dude! Tomorrow I'll be playing Dionysus with some great bands in support of The Shaky Experience future release album The "Clear" Album. It's going to be an excellent show with great support and wild fun I can't wait!

Everything is unlikely without risk My top 10 favorite moments of 2024 1. Writing for 303 Magazine and interviewing Tycho while he was driving to Burning Man to play his annual set (surreal). Thanks to 303 for helping make this happen. 2. Playing Santa Fe (New Mexico) Portalsfest / releasing my latest album "Rated R Vacations" and being interviewed / having the album premiere in full on an NPR affiliate in NM, the night before the festival. 3. Taking the clipper from Seattle to Victoria, BC, partying there, and running a half marathon back in Seattle the next day w one of my best friends. Absolutely amazing time 4. Antigua, Guatemala, the date night was far from normal, but it had its moments that made it so surreal in certain ways, especially being in a country I've never been to before.. 5. Watching Vampire Weekend perform 3x this year, particularly the set at Red Rocks CO. All 3 times I was on the guest list w a +1 and brought friends which made it that much better. Co...

Live life right now. My 10 favorite moments of 2023 1. Interviewing AHJ of The Strokes, drinking his boutique style seltzers in the studio while the episode premiered on FM radio in NYC. Quotes from the interview were featured in a few major online publications including NME and Consequence Of Sound.  2. San Francisco for almost an entire month. Couchsurfing with a stranger that has become a good friend and going on a road / camping trip to Big Sur with someone I met in a hostel years prior. 3. Riot Fest Chicago. Being assigned to cover this music festival as press was amazing! I got to see so many great artists from The Postal Service, Foo Fighters, Death Grips, the list goes on and on. 4. Las Vegas friends wedding, running a half marathon in the desert at night time and placing 13/160 runners. Going to Death Valley National Park with the newly weds two days later. 5.
