Yesterday was an R.E.M. kind of Sunday.

Today is a Depeche Mode kind of Monday.

"Play it fucking loud."

Thank you! That's a lovely message. You're too kind.

I appreciate it.

It's an uplifting thought whenever he crosses my mind. Still, I can't help but imagine how lovely it would've been to have had him in my life as I grew into adulthood.

My grandfather Miguel

My maternal grandfather was the sweetest man anyone could meet.

He died suddenly at just 70, a couple of weeks shy of my 14th birthday. I still miss him, and it’s been almost 28 years.

Albini Sessions (Benefit for Letters Charity), by Fugazi 12 track album

"Steve Albini's sessions with Fugazi, widely bootlegged and full of lore, now available officially for the first time."

-Lars Gotrich on @bandcamp.com

I really love all kinds of music, but some of this old-timey reggae is good for an hour or two, and that's it.

The person manning the speakers is really pushing it.

What's wrong with some James Brown? C'mon!

My top ten artists in February. Failure won the top spot.

Went hard on Failure during February. Seems fitting.

This month, I feel some heavy Interpol marathons coming on with splashes of Metallica, Fugazi and QOTSA.

I wish I was less anxious.

I remember when Fridays in advertising were a lot more relaxed.

Doesn't matter. I'm happy to be doing what I'm doing.

Tonight, I will raise a glass of beer to all you beautiful people. Let's do this. 🤗

I caught a stomach virus so I had to kick back at home for a couple of days.

I ended up watching a few episodes of Mad Men for the first time in years.

Well, goddamn. That stuff still holds up.

Me against a green screen, looking foolish.

I asked one of the younger kids at work what he wanted to listen to.

He said, “El Chino.”

I nodded like I knew exactly who that was.

Turns out he meant Ed Sheeran.

This is 41.

I’m watching the Stranger Things documentary and I’m genuinely jealous of the Duffer Brothers’ collection of movie T-shirts.

The kid is very soft-spoken, so I misinterpreted what he said.

This Friday the 13th, let’s all remember Jason Vorhees.

Every morning, I have to untangle my eyelashes because they're so long. I know that sounds like a joke, but I assure you it's not.
