I’m working at night in a place that I shouldn’t have noise canceling headphones on, but their music is stuck on full volume and this run of songs makes death sound like a sweet release

I’ve come a long way from the days of having to carry a gun and keep my bosses Rottweiler with me while demoing houses in Olde Towne Easte, but sometimes I’m humbled by needing to use the same toilet

I still think everyone that claims to like System of a Down is just pranking me.
Their music sucks and their members are assholes. It’s an edgelord band made up of MAGA idiots and enlightened centrists.
I’ll never understand it

I’ve been taking the “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” approach to MLS lately, but I also have to ask: How many different shades of yellow do we have in this year’s kits? It’s gotta be a record

We drove 9 hours across the country and played a 3:45pm slot before 13 more bands played, and the crowd showed up early and rocked with us. Sold merch. Did interviews. Signed stuff (yall are crazy)
Cedar Rapids has something special happening. We’re heading back ASAP

I had a nightmare that my guitar’s bridge broke mid-festival set (which has happened before). I woke up and called my Sweetwater rep
He got my new guitar shipped to my door in 18 hours in time for us to hit the road tomorrow, and then a big one next week
Sweetwater is seriously the best
