Vinyl
I got a chance to listen to a record on vinyl for the very first time yesterday. I hooked up my American DJ turntables I haven’t used since my scratching days back in middle school. After turning some knobs and flipping some switches and then grunting, my first LP came to life right before my ears. Anyone who reads this site knows what band I listened to first: The Gaslight Anthem. The...

Blink-182 is talking again!!! →
tom, travis, and i have all spoken together. first through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. they’ve all been great, very positive conversations. we’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. it’s a good thing. obviously the first question for a lot of people will be “does this mean a blink-182 reunion?” the answer is...
Driving
Of the things that I miss the most from home, driving is at the top of the list. I miss warm summer nights driving with the windows down and the music turned up loud. I miss the strange looks from old people as I blasted old school hip-hop out of my car on hot July nights. When I get home though, the warm will be gone. The music will have to stay inside of the windows of my car and that will make...

One of my favorite early online games to play was Worms, the game where you and your opponents each had four or five worms, where each worm had a ridiculous arsenal of weapons at their disposal whith which they could kill the other teams’ worms. I remember sitting on my SEGA Dreamcast for hours upon hours playing that game, wasting other people’s worms with sheep, carpet bombs, killer...
