everyone should read this book. not because it's hilarious, but because it's eye opening and comprehensive. a qualitative research project on sociological groupings and behaviors, it will help you understand why your friend may be a complete moron. it's a quick read, pick it up...you won't put it down. @azizansari #modernromance

if you're somehow still sleeping on this @julienrbaker record, it's time to wake up. i'm stoked on all the positive attention she and @6131records are getting for this album. great things are forthcoming. #sprainedankle

my entire feed is records and dogs. either i'm doing it very wrong or very right.

we all have that record we can listen to that triggers the best memories. from the first time i saw @bttrlvng in NYC w/ thrice and moving mountains, to burning new grooves into this LP from spinning it so many times, to the weekend across the northeast that i spent with them, everything about this record always reminds me of the best times with the best people in the best places.

this week, my #tbt goes back to April 2012, and the first time i got to see @refusedfreedom, this time in San Francisco. this was the pinnacle of a killer life-altering vacation w/ @tedwinkworth, and included quality hangs w/ both @antmerola and @jenguyre. it wasn't just a good time with friends, and it wasn't just the first time seeing one of my favorite bands. this night changed the course of my entire life. as i sat outside after the show, awaiting the rest of my friends exiting the venue, the idea of what in fact was concluding and what was forthcoming hit me like a brick to the face. you see, i had just been laid off from my job that i did hate, sure, but i was living in NYC, i didn't have much direction, i didn't have any idea what to really do next, and i may have had a bit of a nervous breakdown. with confidence, i left this show hopeful that the universe would just show me what was next, and it certainly did. the adventure that i'll conclude in the spring with my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from Syracuse University all started on this night, and i'll always look back to the events leading to this show and the unfolding of life following it, and reflect back to that change. no longer lacking the motion to move to the new beat.
