New York based musician who plays in the bands Cold Wrecks and The Duke of Surl. I talk too much about Star Trek.
For a long time I thought he was saying "Korea"
One of my longest lasting vocal tics has to be whisper yelling “CAREEAAAAAR! CAREEEEEEAR! CARREEEAAAARRR! CAREEEEEEAAAARRR!” like Stephen Malkmus at the end of “cut your hair”

Leaking the first We're In Our 30s single early for #BandcampFriday. This band is me (Craig Shay from Cold Wrecks and Answering Machine) and Elio (Knifethroat, God's Favorite) and we tried to write and record a bunch of goofy songs about being in our 30s. We recorded this in my basement.

The guy who invented it went on to invent a precise medicine dispensing system that Coke used to make the Coke Freestyle, so he did in fact end up creating one of the great inventions of our era
Younger people who didn't witness it cannot fathom the hype around the Segway. Every news station agreed it would revolutionize the entire social fabric of the Earth. That all future humans would divide history between the savage days of the past, and the soon to be new era of zoom zoom scoot scoot.

There's this social media writing pattern "if you're doing this then PLEASE do that" and my request is to stop asking me to do more stuff. Modern life is aggressively overwhelming. I'm not digging a hole in my yard to bury all the pumpkins every year. I'm not making my own gravy.

My mom had black hair, was growing it out so she'd comb it back. One day she came in wearing sunglasses and my sister said "Ladies and Gentlemen, Roy Orbison"
