Sometimes I’ll just pick a tempo and see what comes out. No pre-planning other than to start recording… Most of the time it yields a hot mess, but once in a while something clicks and I end up with a fun lil riff.
This one made me laugh. iPhone mic doing the good work!
Since we get to play this song “LADY FOR A DAY” live I thought I’d revisit one of my favorite bridges where I get to side-snare-shout-out my guy Rey Washam (scratch acid / rapeman/ etc) ::::::PLOSIVS:::::::@plosivsband
You ever do that thing where you’re looking through your phone for a specific picture from that one trip that you took? Well that’s what I was doing when I came across this. Almost 10(!) years ago with Against Me!
And the award for most unlikely spot for amazing drum sounds goes to…. A loft in a barn? I know, that’s what I said! But whatever it’s 2026 in Nashville and that’s just how it is. I hope today brings you half the fun I had in here .
It’s Saturday and this is sort of a let’s fucking go type of vibe so maybe it shoulda gone up Monday?
Whatever. Get out there and do something great today

Twenty nine seconds of fun… Studios in Nashville are great because you never know…it might be a dedicated building, or it might be a house. Sometimes it’s a house that’s just a studio, others it’s a house with a lil studio side salad. Always fun tho. Also: cc: @zlind76 on that verse beat
I was reminded of this segment we filmed for guitar center’s drum pads a while back and what a surprise to see Critter walking and talking through this part. The world lost a REAL one with him, and I still miss him. A true visionary in the most unlikely package, one of a kind. RIP Critter. #angelsandairwaves
With everything going on, going wrong, in the world right now this may seem insignificant, but it’s not for me.
I have parted ways with Alkaline Trio. Thanks to everyone who made my time there so awesome, very thankful for the experience.
I am currently considering all studio, collaboration, and touring opportunities.
I hope we can all look to love, compassion, understanding, and acceptance of our fellow humans in these dark and scary times
