Last year I was served an Instagram ad for Orangewood's rubber bridge guitar, and my first thought was: Either Reuben Cox is in on this or he's pissed. It was the latter. For the @latimes.com I tried to figure out: Does anyone _own_ the rubber bridge guitar?

How a plastic part from Home Depot's toilet aisle changed the sound of indie rock

A guitar modification designed by Reuben Cox at Old Style Guitar Shop was a secret weapon in the music world — until Orangewood started manufacturing their own.

Well, just generally speaking, “cheater” is what you call people who cheat

Worst feeling I ever had as a sports fan was losing game 7 of the 2017 World Series. I swear a part of me died that day. So I feel for the Blue Jays team and their fanbase, who largely seem cool. But George Springer? Enjoy karma, cheater. Enjoy hell

a lot of misinformation out there about this guy. he was confused about what bets he had put down, and was asking his friend You, who was watching at home

Game plan for game two: let Yamamoto throw 130 pitches and then bring Luka in from the bullpen

New tame impala in an american express commercial. Surely that will quiet the critics

just remembered at the show when I went to buy a couple waters and it was this like sensor self-checkout thing where you just place your items on the scanner and it pops up with what you owe and I paid 16 dollars for two waters and then it asked for a tip

Here’s my profile from a few days ago:

From van life in L.A. to Hollywood Bowl: Big Thief's steady climb continues

The band reaches its career peak with Saturday's Hollywood Bowl show, a remarkable achievement for the unassuming cosmic folk act.

First time I saw Big Thief it was 2017 at the Highland Park Ebell (cap: 250), and by my recollection it wasn’t even a full room. Last night was the Hollywood Bowl. Nice to see a band get what they deserve once in a while

Talked about the ups and downs of life as a freelancer with Ethan, who was cool enough to cut the part where I talked a little too much shit. He's also the first person in history to ask me what the deal is with my Twitter (and now Bluesky) avatar is

had my Nardwuar moment listening to "Incomprehensible" and realizing that Adrianne wrote the lyrics ("In two days it's my birthday & I'll be 33") in the same couple days as the announcement about Max leaving. Feels like the song says more about the situation than anything else
