Animal rights is one of the only values I have where people in your life actively try and persuade you that you’re wrong. “A cave man would eat meat” or “My vet said Zoos aren’t cruel” 🫠

Finished the year only missing 7 days without running, playing bball or some kind of workout. Under my yearly goal of 10. As per usual the music I run to dominated the top of my Spotify top songs. This year introduced a new trend: the songs we play in our dad rock band + songs I used to learn drums✌️

I’ve decided that Canada just needs a few good American Karens… hear me out. I just want to improve customer service and then that’s it. Close the border and enjoy your utopia. I plan to run on this platform in 2028. Watch out @mark-carney.bsky.social

@aircanada.bsky.social has such a bad product, and customer service it is literally effecting my relationships with my family. All the way through the experience is terrible and they will not help you if anything goes wrong (and it will). Don’t fly with them.

Cold, rainy morning run to The Atari’s’ End is Forever. A little faster than their other albums specifically one with a certain cover. A really good pop punk album, filled with nostalgia lyrically and personally. Classic emo lyrics. All around good running partner 6.3/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Needed something for me, this Monday so listened to Rancid’s Let’s Go, to hear some Matt Freeman bass lines. What a good choice. Their energy carried me today. Still a little rough around the edges compared to … and out come the wolves but has some real diamonds. 6.8/10. #runningpunks #running #punk

Throwback Thursday to another compilation. The Dead Kennedys’ Give me convenience or give me death. This was a band I’ve always had an appreciation for even when I wasn’t big on the music. Politically charged, decent pace, tons of attitude. Nice lil’ running pal 5.8/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Tuesday morning run to some ska. I ran to Link 80’s 17 reasons. Energetic ska punk with some hardcore bits for good measure. The band members were pretty darn young when they wrote and recorded this album. It shows at times but it def has really good moments too. 5.8/10 #runningpunks #punk #running

Ran to something a little bit different today, Fang Island’s self titled album. Not sure how to describe these guys maybe indie, guitar-rock. Whatever you want to call it there is some awesome guitar work, and uplifting compositions. Perfect for a morning run. 6/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Slightly later Friday morning run to Earth Crisis’ True Forever. A compilation documenting their music from 1991-2001. Classic 90s hardcore with a metal tinge. Hard and fast with a positive political message that stands the test of time. Solid running partner 6.8/10 #runningpunks #running #punks

This is the week of literal titles. Ran to Speed’s ONLY ONE MODE and they’re def entitled to name their music whatever they like. Fast, heavy and with a ton of attitude. Pretty straightforward hardcore but they do have some tasteful and organic eclectic influences. 7/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Another beautiful day in Sunnyside. Was feeling some ska this morning so went with the Mad Caddies’ Duck and Cover. Pretty fast paced and upbeat. Talented group so lots of diversity in sound. First time playing air trumpet and running. Very enjoyable 6.1/10 #runningpunks #running #punk #ska

Extra appreciative of this morning’s beautiful summer-like weather. Ran to Cigar’s Speed is Relative. An album which walks the walk when it comes to pace. Random; The drummer now plays for the shins. Some very nice bass playing on this album. Great running partner 7.1/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Last run before I get to go home. Fun Friday run to the Bouncing Soul’s Hopeless romantic. Fun lyrics and mostly straight forward punk rock. Although there was more nuance than I remembered. I love running because I feel like I really listen. Def an enjoyable run 6.2/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Another super early run in Palo Alto. It’s throwback Thursday so ran to The Damned’s Damned damned damned. A critical early punk album that was a big influence on a lot of punk and hardcore bands on this side of the pond. The album is a little frantic but super fun. 6/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Early morning run in Palo Alto, CA. Listened to Protest the Hero’s Fortress. Another Canadian band (sorry) they hail from Whitby, Ontario. Soaring vocals and technical guitar work made for an excellent running partner. Love the hints of mythology in the lyrics. 6.8/10 #runningpunks #running #metal

Early morning run to Boysetsfire’s After the Eulogy. I liked this album a lot more than I remembered. It certainly still has its hardcore parts but it’s also pretty sonically diverse for the era. The singers voice stands out to me as well. Very unique. 6.75/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Thursday morning run to a throwback of sorts. I ran to Misfits’ American Psycho, the first album I got into from them. It’s also the first without Glenn Danzig (I think). Solid album, fun lyrics made for a nice summer morning run. Should have waited for Halloween 6.7/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Starting to feel like a permanent swing to fall so went with some harder tunes. Ran to Everytime I Die’s Gutter Phenomenon. Wikipedia says they’re metalcore but I’m not sure how to describe this album. Def some more “classic” rock influence. Def solid 6.7/10 #runningpunks #running #punk #metalcore

Perfect morning for running. Ran to Title Fight’s 2011 album Shed. Solid pop punk album. They move even further into emo -> indie rock territory as time went on. Really like the singers voice. Album slows down towards the end but still a good running partner. 6/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Cool morning run to The Get Up Kid’s Something to Write Home About. Wanted to take it easy so picked something lighter. This was the first “emo” album that I owned. I really enjoy this album but it wasn’t the most motivating. Kinda want a nap and a good cry 5.7/10 #runningpunks #running #emo #punk

Beautiful friday morning run to 30 foot fall’s ever revolving, never evolving. I really like this album and was always confused why this band didn’t land more. Decent paced punk with some funny lyrics. I love the album name as well. Feels accurate for the times. 6.3/10 #runningpunks #running #punm

Throwback Thursday run to a suggestion from the #runningpunks (I think). Ran to Subhuman’s From the Cradle to the Grave. A classic album and great running partner. Every person I knew in high school that had a subhumans patch on their jacket scared me. Solid old school #punk. 6/10 for #running

Ran to some ska for a change of pace. Assorted Jelly Beans’ self titled album. Another good re-listen. Remembered this as being fun but sloppy ska punk and it was more musically technical and composed to say the least. Fun album that was 🤏ahead of its time. 6/10 #runningpunks #punk #running #ska

Feeling groggy this morning but Killswitch Engage’s As Daylight Dies certainly woke me up. Fast, technical metal with soaring vocals this album went platinum in the US. Sometimes you need some double kick drum to the heart to get moving. Today was one of those 🤘7/10 #runningpunks #running #metal

Feeling extra sore this Monday. Ran to Snapcase’s Progression Through Unlearning. Unrelenting 90s hardcore. These guys had been together forever at this point and it shows. Only knock was the admittedly rushed production makes the songs blend together a little. 6.3/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Beautiful morning run to PUP’s Morbid Stuff. Really like this Toronto band. They made me optimistic that punk had a future again (no pressure). It’s upbeat despite its lyrical content (death, anxiety, etc). Pretty straightforward but made for a nice Friday run. 6.1/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Throwback Thursday run to one of favorite 80s hardcore albums. Gorilla Biscuit’s Start Today. A surprisingly electric and technical music. It was considered “old school” by the time I found punk.

It’s my birthday so ran to one of my favorite albums of all time: Propagandhi’s Less Talk More Rock. This is def not their best album for running but it’s the one I come back to most often.

Back to my sweet spot; 90s punk rock. Ran to an album I’ve listened to probably 10,000 times. Lagwagon’s Trashed. An underrated album IMO. All of the best part of Lagwagon with some surprisingly good bass licks. Song #4 (Stokin’ the neighbors) is an all timer. 6.5/10 #runningpunks #running #punk

Feeling around 80% so took it easy on my run to Alkaline Trio’s From Here to Infirmary. This album is pretty standard pop punk outside of the lyrical content which has a goth or horror tint. Made for a decent run but fell flat towards the end when I was fading. 6.2/10 #runningpunks #running #punk
