What is it about punk rock jocks five times your size that makes them think it’s cool to throw you into a pile of chairs?

Currently topping my list of things for evolution to fix: Cuticles.

Jesus…

Behold, the only time I will ever link to a clip from Lopez Tonight: lopeztonight.com/episode_recaps…

A huge thanks to @usairguitar, @NordicThunder, and my friends and fellow competitors for another very memorable visit to Chicago.

Your new @usairguitar champion is @NordicThunder! Windhammer is extremely proud to take 4th place among some amazing people.

Showtime.

The Mastodon burger at Kuma’s Corner has won the battle, but not the war.

Last night’s biblical storm was a fitting prelude to what tonight will bring: etix.com/ticket/online/…

Damn, Chicago, has it really been three years? Let’s not let that happen again.

This four-foot-tall kid is obsessed with getting an Extra Leg Room seat.

Sad to be missing the @usairguitar Dark Horse Invitational at Parlour in Chicago to night. Good luck to all my comrades; see you soon!

There is something endlessly fascinating about seeing the aged and ruined remnants of a piece of civilization that existed in your lifetime.

Even for kids like me who grew up with cassettes and CDs, a good album cover helped make the music magic. Thank you, Alex Steinweiss. RIP.

Refusing to remain in white suburbia but retaining the education it afforded me means I can’t help but gentrify everything I touch.

Treme makes me feel like every second of my life spent doing anything other than learning and playing music has been completely wasted.

Noted without comment: A Buddhist center with razor wire atop the tall walls that surround it.

If you’re going to threaten my life after a near bike collision that was unequivocally your fault, maybe I won’t share my cookies after all.

The world may never know how many Revolting Cocks tracks I listened to yesterday.

Ten years ago, it would not have mattered to me that a couple of days of the music I listened to hadn’t been meticulously documented.

Wheel of Fortune was so much cooler when the game board was mechanical.

Sidetracked on my way to @studiomates by a series of drum lines in Fort Greene. I ♥ Brooklyn.

Can everyone stop using the word “sexy” forever, please?

Five plays away from 40,000 on @lastfm. Suggestions for a great five-song EP to take me over the hill?

Well-intentioned though it may be, I just can’t get behind Patti Smith’s “Rock n Roll Nigger”. Not all marginalization is equal.

Restrained myself from submitting an editorialized crash report that probably would have gotten me arrested.

For @beep, on his birthday: flic.kr/p/a11uhu

Getting out of the house today might have been a good idea. I seriously just got into a gender politics discussion with my dish towel.

The “…if it weren’t for those snooping kids” part of Scooby Doo always confused me as a kid, because the gang sure looked like adults to me.

Do people who believe in reincarnation have multiple birthdays?
