I received a complaint today of unauthorized use of someone else’s image on an interview I posted in 2016. I took immediate action and removed said image as I take things like this seriously. I even emailed the image owner to offer my apologies.

Samiam - Grog Shop - Cleveland, OH - 12/09/25

Air played last night and I missed it due to my priorities. I remember snagging Moon Safari on CD around release at World Music in Columbus thanks to a listening station. I miss the days of discovering music that way.

DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH

The media who do this are heartless bastards

Life is crazy. Life is unexpected. Life should be enjoyed.

Life shouldn’t be worrying about what others do or think.

We all going to die one day.

Make the best of it and don’t be an asshole.

Took in a @badreligionband.bsky.social show last night and it was perfect. I saw a good amount of pals, sang my fav songs, and watched people suck down so many vape pens that I, for a moment, thought I was at a jam band show. Puff the punks.

Dude next to me was sucking on a cologne bottle. A-hey!

Got to hang with @anniezaleski.bsky.social and @mwardlaw.bsky.social today at the Beachland Ballroom and listen to a panel of great folk (including Annie) talk about Cleveland rock music history. Pretty darn cool but no one talked about Dead Boys, The Mice, or the Legendary Wild Giraffes!!!

I’ve done many things in life. I can now add being part of an art exhibit now. Cyrus Custom Framing & Art Gallery in Canton, OH asked Whiskertin to be a part of their current exhibit and this vintage skateboard deck lamp is being featured. Rad.

At least a thousand waves touched our toes yesterday. Waves crashing, kids laughing. It was a well needed break from everything else going on in life. Take the time to disconnect. It’s worth it.

I don’t know why I got sucked into Threads so much…maybe boredom. It’s been deactivated. Twitter Jr. really was getting to be just too damn depressing. I’ll stick it out here.

Paid my respects to someone I’ve admired since I was a kid. I’m glad I made this quick pitstop.

Go to the show alone if no one else wants to go with you. Life’s too short to miss out on what you adore.

Them’s fighting words.

♥️

I literally drove in a blizzard to get my fix today.

I panicked when I got home today because I second-guessed if I had Nimrod in my collection after snagging this at Mistake by the Lake. Turns out I didn’t.

Y’all, I did 45 miles this week. Not sure I’ll top that next week on account of a tattoo appointment tonight, but felt it was worthy of a share!

Low Self Opinion (The End of Silence 1991 Demo) by Rollins Band on Apple Music Song · 2004 · Duration 4:55

As a teen struggling to fit in with the rest of the world in the 90s, Rollins helped curb those stupid thoughts and got me to go my own way. Happy Rollins Day.

I’m 3 years free of alcohol today. Feels pretty amazing. Sober AF life for me has kept me more grounded than ever.

Ice morning.

Life changes started this week. I need to be around for a little bit longer.

Things need to change very soon. If you voted for the 🤡, you suck too.

Currently Spinning: Sunshine State - Pour

This is a fun punk rock album featuring one of my favorite drummers who once played for Against Me!. I should add the rest of the band is solid too. This debut I think fell on a lot of sleepy ears and deserves a listen.

Lamps rule everything around me.

198D by At the Drive-In on Apple Music Song · 1999 · Duration 4:04

This song is going to be 26 years old this year. I remember in the 90s thinking songs my dad listened to in the 70s were ancient.

At The Drive In is timeless in my ears. Incredible band that I never managed to see live.

Former MTV host Matt Pinfield recently suffered massive stroke Matt Pinfield, the former host of MTV's 120 Minutes, suffered a massive stroke in early January, according to legal documents filed by his daughter Jessica.

2025 hasn’t been good at all. Hope this dude pulls through.

Been a while since I bought a ticket to a show the moment pre-sale went live, but Bouncing Souls with H2O and Dave Hause is a show I won’t be missing this year.

Magnolia by Deafheaven on Apple Music Song · 2025 · Duration 4:14

Beyond stoked for this album.

The diversity of visitors at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History today really warmed my heart.

I also told a 3-year-old to stop being a dick.
