I was preparing an Instagram post dedicated to the absolutely killer DEEJAY PUNK-ROC album “ChickenEye” (because I’m one of those boring fucks with a feed that’s 98% pictures of his cat or of his record collection when he’s not performing/on tour), and I went to his Discogs page to try to remind myself who he … Continue reading
Two things I thoroughly enjoy are the music of the Dismemberment Plan and the mid-90s Golden Age of The Simpsons. Thanks to Frinkiac and my penchant for procrastination, I’ve combined the two. I hope the incredibly niche audience who dwells within this venn diagram overlap sees this and makes it go viral. I know that … Continue reading

I’m a member of a new secret Facebook group (sort of) where we volunteer our fantasy set lists of our favorite bands. Without overthinking it, I put together my ultimate dream set list by one of my favorite bands, Blur. The rule set forth by the group’s founder is 20 song set, 5 song encore. … Continue reading
It’s been inexcusably long since I’ve written anything here. I thought briefly yesterday about continuing a series I used to do on the old TDCpresents.com where I would embed some video from the MTV online video archive and write out a script for what I imagine the pitch meeting was like for that music video. … Continue reading
