MIKE SMASH!

I'm fast on my feet but slow in the brain.

I'm the biggest idiot in the Dinobrain podcast.

I do morale boosting and other fun stuff at Carbonmade.

Also, I'm an aspiring freelance lamaze coach.
hermitologist: So here’s the deal …  Puig Destroyer is actually happening. It’s a baseball-themed grindcore project featuring Mike Minnick (Curl Up & Die) on vocals, Ian Miller and Jon Howell (Kowloon Walled City) and me (Riley Breckenridge - Thrice) doing drum programming (because logistics and gah … blastbeats at 220 bpm). We’ve got basic tracking done for our debut EP, and we should have a track from said EP fairly soon. Please stay tuned for updates/tunes. The roughs I’ve heard are ridiculously awesome and fun and raw as all hell. Kinda like Yasiel Puig. We’re all very excited an hope that you are too. I’m super stoked to be a part of this. Making music with these awesome dudes is so much fun.

The Battle of Los Angeles: Week 8

hermitologist:

My latest for Getting Blanked, featuring The 5 Stage of SciosciaFace, a book idea, a TV show idea, T.J. Simers’ worst lede in years, Golden Boy DERP, and oh yeah … some mostly awful baseball.

These weekly blog posts from Riley are the funniest baseball-related writing going right now. It doesn’t hurt that L.A. baseball is especially awful this season.

Take it all in, Pony!

Take it all in, Pony!

seanhowe: Here’s another great photo of artist Mike Zeck dressed as Black Bolt in 1971. You can see more images (and read a little background) on Mike’s Facebook page. Great stuff! More Black Bolt awesomeness.

—Nothing More

This song would definitely rank in my Top 5 Hardcore Songs of All Time list. It may even be number one.

This is the song that made me want to scream in a band. And Mike Oleander’s vocals were always my biggest influence, even though I (unfortunately) never sounded anything like him.
