From Them, Through Us, To You: Why Matthew Leone didn't deserve this
I met Madina Lake bassist Matthew Leone at some point during the sweaty thick of last summer’s Warped Tour, and I remember thinking, “This guy is quite possibly the happiest human being I’ve ever encountered.” Believe me, in my line of work, I meet a lot of dudes (and the occasional lady) who complain and […]
VersaEmerge Warped Diary #1
So far it's been a hectic first few days of reuniting & introducing, Lots of, "Wait, what was your name again?" and, "Who are you with?" But nonetheless, everyone is getting into the groove and finding their daily routine. So far I've been running around from our bus to press to our tent to the stage […]
Hey everyone, I'm back!!!
It’s impossible to make a grand entrance in text. It’s even harder to make a grand RE-entrance. The whole process is as anti-climactic as it gets. Caps lock just looks juvenile and exclamation points are for people that aren’t good enough at conveying feeling in the context. When I see them, I feel as […]

Hit...And A Miss
My cats are playing a game I call Laundrosplat. By virtue of its name, you can figure out how it’s played; said felines regurgitate, urinate and/or defecate in the laundry and talk about it in their arcane cat vernacular. Last night, after spending two hours of my life in the basement testing spray bottles […]
Blog No. 1 (again)
It’s 2010, and I just received an e-mail with this subject line: New Release from Papa Roach. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Rap-rock bands from my high school years coming back to haunt me not withstanding, 2010’s been a year of a lot of change—a big one being the brand, […]
Check the cup holders
It always begins the same. I'm aimlessly wandering the halls of my high school, frantically trying to remember my locker combination and, to a greater extent, where exactly my locker is located. But that's not all that bad. It's the day before graduation and all that I have in my locker is 14 flannel shirts […]
The spirit of blog.
I've been a pretty big fan of the Gaslight Anthem ever since I heard their first album, 2007's Sink Or Swim, and found the band crashing on my living room floor numerous times over the next year or so. Yet somehow, in spite of my fervent fandom, the band's achieved a level of success I […]

The Mold
I remember back in early 1992 when we did that cover of AP with Nirvana. Hell, I believe we were the first national magazine to have them on the cover. It was an exciting time to be in music. Into music. We know the story by now: they broke the mold, they broke through the […]

A few weeks ago, I went to see Public Enemies, the crime drama film starring Johnny Depp as the legendary John Dillinger, America's bank-robbing folk hero, public enemy No. 1 and poster boy for all things (allegedly) evil in 1930s America. There have been plenty of mixed reviews about the movie, but I enjoyed seeing […]
