more perfect weather music

You’re gonna have a great time regardless

Spain is awesome. But Japan is something else. I love both places, but I would choose Japan over Spain any day

Tire place: hey, your tire sensor is broken

Me: I know. Leave it alone

Tire place: ok

OMG it's the best. Go to Japan, ride all the trains. Shinkansen will change your life and make you a little sad we don't have it in the US

you would not believe how excited car journalists get when we get to ride on a train.

please don't respond, "but you're the car guy."

Yeah, I'm the car guy who realizes that cities don't need cars and need car-free zones and a huge increase in funding to expand public transportation. Also, trains are rad.

We also took the bus to the outdoor mega food pop-up area. They had surprisingly good tacos available.

My wife said we should move there and I could sell tamales

“…if you want a livable city you put the pedestrians and the bicyclists in the central areas. You put them in the best squares and the best roads. That shows the priority and the future view of traffic in the city.” 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

I've ridden a bike and driven in Copenhagen. Riding a bike is soooo rad. Mostly I just drove out of Copenhagen.

what's nice is that a whole community can yell across the street at Adobe and tell them to fix their products.

ohhh snap Nakamichi! that was the god level

my friends and I would spend an enormous amount of time at our small town's car stereo shop.

But yeah, Alpine was the goal. The true rich weirdos had Blaupunkt head units. At the time, Blaupunkt had an in-car cassette deck that they said sounded as good as a CD player. It was like $1,200

Woke up with Janet Jackson's Escapade stuck in my head.

so that's nice

If I had to fight with Pacer for legal filings you know I would upload and link those files in the article. Fucking Pacer

I can easily sing a song while playing a full drum kit.

Meanwhile, you set me at the bongos and ask me to do the same thing and my brain gets stuck every few measures.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Weird to me (I don’t have kids) but my childhood was insanely free range. I could go as far as my bike could take me in a day (10 miles I guess). I would also disappear for days when I was high school so maybe I’m not a good case study.

most of the time I have no fucking clue what you all are fighting about.

It never feels like a good time to promote any of my bands. But here we goo. If you like Prince and Bowie, this will be a fun show. Also, all ages.

Rickshaw Stop is great because they’re rad people, they let me do all ages shows, and the sound is always top notch

actual conversation I had with my wife very early in our relationship, "You know, I'm going to be a writer. I won't be making a lot of money."

"Yeah, I know"

oh no

oh a VC is taking over. That's always a good sign.

(digs up friendster acct)

a good compromise is a Pizza Roll which is a tiny burrito that's pizza but tiny.

the next month or so could be a unique window to snatch up cheap used EVs before everyone else catches on... these posts will help

see that would require anyone in this administration to be smart instead of powered by greed, power, and a weird mixture of pills and supplements handed to them every morning in smoothie form by RFk jr.

Now I’m gonna have to explain the reality of journalism to people that come up to me asking why I don’t make $500k a year as a “seasoned journalist”

Uhhhh someone might want to talk to NYMag about the ethics of journalists and investments.

Also lol I go is this mythical journalist with all this money?

lol no

The idea of standing on the streets of central D.C., with little to no shade, and watching a grand prix race in *late August* is absolutely preposterous. You'd likelier find me in Maine enjoying cool seas instead.

is every counterargument from your stomach start with, "well, pizza."
