Maybe I should start posting on this website again…? Idk! Making stuff on the Internet for a living is confusing these days. But I just wanted to drop in to let y’all know I have a long yap video coming out soon with one of my all time favorite guitar players, the great Derek Trucks!

Unbelievably cool night in Los Angeles seeing Marc Maron and friends do a benefit show for The Divided Sky Foundation, complete with a Trey Anastasio acoustic mini-set.

A clip from my Warren Haynes interview. I thought the way he articulated the difference between the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band was profound. Such a great way of putting it. Here’s the full interview on YT: youtu.be/YCQ6_r9axl4?...

Talked to Chris Benchetler, the art-world’s favorite pro skier and the ski-world’s favorite Deadhead, about his latest Dead collab, Mountains of the Moon. For the film, Mickey Hart came to Mammoth, and they built "his huge ice sculpture stage for him to play drums on." brobible.com/culture/arti...

Pretty sure this scene in E2 of HBO's The Chair Company may have been the hardest I've laughed at a TV show all year.

Went on a major deep dive into the music catalog of Chuck Prophet this weekend. Wasn’t really all that familiar with his work and caliber of songwriting, but am now fully convinced he’s the California Mark Knopfler.

I can’t fully explain why, but football season is undoubtedly the best time of year to listen to studio widespread panic albums.

The idea that Donnie isn’t real has been floating around the Internet for a while. The gist is that the ill-fated Donnie is just a figment of Walter Sobchak’s imagination...

Kennedy center tribute to the Grateful Dead rocked. I feel like we’re going to see some really cool cultural tributes to the dead with some of the talent on that stage in 2025 for however they’re celebrating Dead 60.

this has been a big year of personal discovery for me. for example, I personally discovered Trader Joe’s Caesar salad dip and I’m sorta obsessed with it. It’s in in the TJ snacks all of fame.

My spidey senses can feel culture veering towards a big collective Mad Men rewatch this winter & I’m already preparing myself to be annoyed by all the surface-level takes and nuances that are going to be missed by a generation that glossed over it as appointment television when it originally aired.

itching to get the back on skis in January. Have a vacation planned to Aspen / Snowmass with my brother and old ski / music buddies from growing up first week of Feb. But also wanna get a few more trips in before that for my legs. Have an Ikon pass. Thinking Utah, Palisades, or Mammoth, mid-week.
