As someone who grew up absolutely obsessed with Casey Kasem's Top 40 and countdowns/ranks in general, I've been on and off making note of my 10 songs "most in my head" every week for the past year. Nerd alert, but it might be fun to start sharing and chatting about some jams. So...

I watched some of the Slint documentary tonight. It’s gorgeous. Where are the bands that take Slint and run with it? I wanna know.

My downstairs neighbor is playing music way too loud. What will have the most impact? Should I say hey turn it down a little OR if you’re going to blast music at this hour can you at least make it not so shitty?

Chrissie Hynde’s vibrato literally makes me cry every time I hear it.

Anyone have any Mexican artists/bands to check out? Going to Mexico City in Feb and want to pick up some local vinyl.

Dirt Buyer rules. Loved “II” and every single from “III” has been incredible. Let’s tour.

Presently reading the Trout Mask Replica 33 1/3 book. Although I do enjoy that album, it’s really making me want to listen to US Maple and Ornette Coleman. It’s also making me have insane respect for the band who could nail these insane songs in one take.

I was about to post about Superchunk but then remembered - I kind of ONLY post about Superchunk here. Anyway, “Rosemarie” is one of my favorite songs ever.

Listening to the McCoy Tyner “forces of nature” live record earlier this year I was absolutely blown the hell away by the drummer - had to look him up and track down everything I could. RIP. Listen today and be in awe.

I filmed a little vid talking about my Patreon (becoming pay anything, get everything), my podcast (changing up format), and the album I’m working on (featuring lyrics from old notebooks). There’s also a cat. Enjoy!

“Today I’m slightly / less unsightly / and I cannot move / with 3 cats on me” is a true to life lyric I just wrote for a new song.

Love this song! The name comes from a funny convo we had while recording No Coast regarding the popularity of songs that are digitally quantized into things like pro tools.

And lastly, I’m playing a free show tomorrow night at Tone Deaf Records. A brand new song and a new cover I’m working out are part of the set. Join me!

I also have a ton (well over 100) of unlisted YouTube videos that I’ll be slowly making public, basically showing you how to play a bunch of songs I wrote / had a hand in writing.

Love seeing these Shudder To Think vids. 2 things - any footage of that new song? And also, can we somehow turn down the volume of the people in the crowd singing along?

Hello! Figured I’d start writing here into the void. Ever hear of this thing called Music League? I was just invited to one. The first question was - what’s the best album closing song? I feel like there is a clear answer. What do you think? Will we match? Oh the suspense.
