Like What You Like: Albums of the Year 2025
I contributed a bit about my favorite album of the year to Like What You Like’s Albums of the Year episode. Check out the listener submissions at the end for mine and the full episode for all of their great recommendations. And don’t worry — my annual wrap-up post is still coming (probably after Christmas).
Riot Fest 2025
Some highlights from this year’s Riot Fest. This one felt really special. I saw a couple reunions I’ve been dreaming of (Rilo Kiley, Texas Is the Reason), screamed my voice out at my 31st Wonder Years show, and so much more. I sang “Lord, to be 33 forever” along with The Hold Steady and was…
The Wonder Years at Warped Tour 2025

It’s a music podcast, where Matt Kistler and I talk music through the lens of our favorite artists’ discographies. I often joke that the best…
Pelafina – “Milestone” (2024 Mix)
If you’re an avid reader of the credits section on Bandcamp (or this blog), you probably know that I have produced and mixed almost everything Pelafina has ever released (with the exception of Familiar Places — all credit goes to Nick Stetina for that one). In a way, our discography is a living diary of me…
This Page Intentionally Left Blank – Rebuilding Year
Trying something new. Drums by Matt Kistler. Everything else by me. This Page Intentionally Left Blank. Rebuilding Year. Stream/download/tapes on Bandcamp. This EP is mostly about things that happened a decade ago, and I felt a decade younger making it. We DIY’d everything: Recording it in my basement, dubbing tapes on my old tape deck,…
Pelafina – “Twist the Knife”
Pelafina has another new song out today. “Twist the Knife” has been a long time in the making — we might even have started working on it pre-pandemic. I think the time paid off though, especially in the mix, which is probably my favorite yet.
