What’s worse, the people saying ska is dead when it’s not battle, or people calling any style of emo (or pop punk) Midwest emo when it’s not. In both cases, you’ll be called a gatekeeper when trying to clarify. I guess every genre has its plight

Hi Bluesky!

So as a creator, I rely heavily on Patreon to not only make art, but to survive

I put in a *ton* of time to uploading regularly to YouTube AS WELL AS making daily TikTok/insta content. It’s a lot of work that Patreon allows me to do!

So if you can support, that would be DOPE!!

traditional wisdom says that the holidays are a bad time to publish work on the internet. but i believe the holidays are the ideal time to avoid loved ones by staring at some slop on your phone in the other room. so i am heroic providing you this slop today.

I watched 'Mallrats' for the first time in 20 years.
A long overdue revisit of a Kevin Smith classic from my teenage years.

Hate to be engaging in the music/politics crossover, however, after a not so good fall season in the legislature it’s surprising Ford didn’t hawk some half baked “I couldn’t get Taylor tickets” bill.

Only corrupt politicians love Ticketmaster I guess.

Absolutely bonkers that the people putting in the work (artists and independent promoters) are making $8 each in profit on a $100 ticket.

The system is broken and it will not get better without proper legislation.

New social media accounts are fun because no one will degrade me for what I’m listening to because for now I’m just screaming into the void.

This weeks album is “On The Impossible Past” by The Menzingers and this weeks podcast is “In Defense of Ska”
