      I've been keeping West Wing on in a PIP window while working lately. With the calamity going on around us, it's nice to pretend.

      Going to be in a bad mood all weekend at least. I can't believe that orange menace is being sworn in tomorrow. This is going to be a monumental mistake for the country.

      Spent the week dealing with ... vertigo. Yeah, what the hell is this? Woke up Monday, got out of bed like always, and immediately the room started spinning. My inner ear is trying to murder me.

      Sorry for not being around as much or posting as much as usual (using a computer is hard). The downfalls of being mostly a one man shop.

      Replaced the fridge light with an LED bulb and now everything looks different.

      Enjoying this Tyler Glenn album. Feels like it came out at the wrong time of year, but it's pretty good.

      My mom is trying to convince me 'Spectre' is better than 'Skyfall' and 'Casino Royale' if you wanna know how my night is ...

        A nice selection here, Jason! Very jealous of Yellowcard, and good to see Steel Train!

      Been listening to the Keeping it 1600 podcast the past few days. Because it's healthy that I consume more political news and commentary, right?

      Sing Street is up there as my favorite movie of the year so far. I can't recommend it enough.

        Searched for a Hellogoodbye thread and found this status, haha. Apparently there was a new single back in December/January that I still haven't heard, so maybe this year?

      One thing I like: Trump proving once and for all the stupid "all press is good press" is pure and utter bullshit. Been saying it for years.

  • About

    I’m a writer, music enthusiast, web-developer, typography geek, and a coffee and beer snob. Sometime around 1996 I created absolutepunk.net — a music community to discuss under-appreciated music I loved. Over the next few years, it got popular. Then it got really popular. The goal of the website was to introduce people to new music and provide a community for people to discuss music that was not often heard in the mainstream. Oh, and for me to whine and moan about things I felt like to a chorus of “why is this news!?” posts.

    In 2004, I (sold-out and) sold the company while staying on to keep running AP.net and manage a variety of other websites. My passion turned into a job and I drudged through the next few years frustrated. For a while I thought about walking away from the internet completely. However, my passion for music, technology, and a slightly off centered pop-culture remains. So, I decided to take a chance and with that spirit build chorus.fm. I hope for this to be a platform to write and share my passions with you, and with that, I also want to continue my vision of a community for music fans looking to connect with kindred spirits.

    I send out a weekly newsletter that recaps the week in music and offers thoughts on music, media, and other cool stuff.
