Southern Comfort (wild and tense), Power Ballad (heartfelt and cheesy), Duel (more tense), Miracle Mile (depressing)

This is one of the dumbest, most fun pieces I’ve ever written. I want a The Garment of my own.

“The album took almost seven years to write. We had three songs in the bag, but we didn’t know what was going to happen with them. We finally decided we couldn’t let this stuff die on the vine.” Lovely speaking with Vexine all about their new album in my latest @styleweekly.com piece

“If we don’t have equal access to music, we risk not hearing from so many voices in the music world. Just think about how many people we’ve never gotten to hear from because they didn’t have access to music education.“ My latest for Style Weekly.

I always feel a little sad this time of year and this year especially has been brutal, but tonight I’m also reminded of the people that helped me through. A text, a coffee, a high five, a like or reply to a post… none of it goes unnoticed. Thanks for making my life a little brighter. Happy holidays.

Not feeling particularly festive this season so here’s a playlist of sad holiday songs.

Today marks the 3 year anniversary of my book RVA playlist and the 1 year anniversary of the Deluxe Edition. Thank you to everyone who has bought a copy, told me they liked it, shared it with friends, and harassed me about when another book is coming out. It meant the world to me.

Local hip-hop is so under appreciated. Love what these guys are doing.

Bill was such a force for the music community. I hosted “Global A Go-Go” for him once and was terrified because I knew nothing about world music. He told me that world music was just “local music from someplace else.” I did a world music tour on my show and it’s probably one of my favorites ever.

If you’re not listening to Dead Billionaires, you really should get on that.

For the past few years, the team at Brooklyn Horror have kept a slot in their schedule for @certifiedforgot.bsky.social — even as they’ve grown. It would mean a lot if you could help us spread the word and fill the house next weekend.

I’m a firm believer in horror movies being very helpful in dealing with mental health struggles. I talked with advocacy and support group Victims and Villains about using pop culture and horror to address mental health. (And their film festival this weekend)

I pulled together a list of (almost) all of the local music coming out this fall!

It’s been such a long tiring day for me that I misunderstood this post and was like “Congrats! Wait… Matthew(s), no! Ohhhh…”

Comic Geeks has a good pull list that also sends an email reminder of the week’s books. It also lets you scan by cover which makes things a lot quicker. Plus they include artbooks and RPG guides. And it’s thorough. Even my weird unknown indie stuff is in there.

I just got this app the other day and I have been meticulously organizing our entire comic collection and tracking my reading. I have a new obsession!

I have editors that will say “get this to me whenever” and I will labor over it for too long. My writing is always better with a hard deadline.

FNTW has been such a welcoming place to get my Bob’s Burgers discussion fix and is a Monday night staple for me. Join us for trivia night next week and tell Mike and JB that they’re awesome.
