We used Disk Makers for the 2009 I Come to Shanghai album on CD. Do it yourself is always more than yourself. RIP.

Dipping back into my most complex radio story ever after months away and feeling overwhelmed. Every red line is a note. Every track is an interview mic.

Climate change is when you keep getting locked out of your phone because your sweaty legs spam the lock screen.

This was the album that made me want to record my own music. I went out and bought a half inch 8-track tape machine.

If the person you hire to do work on your house addresses you as “my friend,” you are in capable hands.

Everyone's immediate reaction to the visuals in the new Ocarina Of Time remake.

George Saunders came to town, and I got him to draw a smiley face in my copy of Lincoln in the Bardo.

Subscriber since 2000, Tape-Op was my recording school. I met the first guy to ever bring me into a studio on the tapeop.com forums.

Just saw a trailer with three of the new USPS delivery trucks in tow, and it gave me a weird little flush of joy. Maybe even optimism.

Finally looking at replacing my beloved 17 year-old audio PC, and the Mac mini seems like a way better deal than anything else. I haven’t used a Mac since college, but windows is shit now, and I want something that will last a decade.

The tinniest coffee beans I have ever encountered. Fun fact: before cupping, coffee importers rated the beans based on size. Bigger was better. Extremely wrong!

I had a couple of hot dog buns left over and wanted a Chicago dog, but had no dogs (or sport peppers). Thus: Chicago omelet dog.

This album implanted some extremely impractical romantic feelings in my head (along with all the hooks). I can’t even go back and listen now. It would be like calling up an old lover. I don’t want to stir that shit up again.

It’s weird that the deepest and most subtle game controller in existence is the pinball flipper button.

Huge double pepperoni upside down grandma pie. There’s a solid layer of deli pep under the cheese.

The press blurb for the new Domi & JD Beck is one of the dumbest things I have ever read.

Man I hate squats. It only gets worse over time. The only reward is more weight.

Having to face the person you’re speaking to creates a weird kind of intimacy in Big Walk. I was surprised how much it felt like actually hanging out with your friends.

Sure would be nice if Live Nation spent a little of the money it siphons from artists on funding publications that help listeners find good live shows…
