Marko DeSantis

Ran the @lamarathon today! 26.2miles Such a fun race running past so many iconic sights, as well as places/venues where much of my own music life was forged (I filmed myself passing by my teenage era band’s old rehearsal space at Hollywood & Western.) swipe to see I first ran it in 2010, then in 2015, & 2020 (four days before the pandemic lockdown era kicked off!). I was gonna do it last year, but the fire took me outta the game for a while… so, this time was kinda a do-over. I didn’t start training until December & I was really outta fighting shape… but thanks to pretty disciplined weekly training & more recently taking a hiatus from booze & sugar, I somehow managed to hurl myself across the finish line… despite the cruelty of all the uphill grades that dominated the last 3rd of the route, along with an especially hot sun! If your knees can afford to take a beating, I highly recommend running a marathon. It’s such a transcendent & life-affirming challenge & experience. Thanks to my fam for always cheering me on & to everyone who encouraged me along the way… 🩶🫠 #lamarathon #lamarathon2026 PS. Photo #16 of me training is unofficially titled: TSOL-LIOT SMITH … which I still insist would make a rad band/project: 80s style punk covers of Elliott Smith &/or singer-songwriter acoustic versions of TSOL songs! 💋

It’s been a week. So much devastation. So much love. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 (Link in bio if anyone wishes to donate to our recovery)

Still can’t believe I got to play a Ramones song with @the__coverups (Billie Joe Armstrong, Jason White, Chris Dugan & Bill Schneider) a couple weeks ago to benefit fellow fire victims! ❤️‍🩹💚❤️‍🩹💚❤️‍🩹 #greenday #sugarcult @altadenagirls @altadenaboys #eatonfire #altadena

Some highlights from last night’s wonderful Concert For Altadena where a diverse gathering of musicians spanned eras, genres & levels of fame were unified by extraordinary performance, songwriting excellence & above all, a selfless generosity of spirit, love & respect for all of us who were directly & indirectly affected by the devastating fires exactly one year ago. Many thanks to all involved for stepping up, stringing up, showing up & lifting all of us up. ❤️‍🩹🫠💚md #altadena #concertforaltadena #dawes #stephenstills #bradpaisley #aloeblacc #mandymoore #everclear #lordhuron #rufuswainwright #johncreilly #altadenamusicians
