Treat yourself

Can I just tell you—I’m on a motorcycle road trip and I brought stuff to camp overnight without a tent. After 5 hours of riding (2 of them in the hot armpit of New Jersey) I decided to get a hotel instead. Just lol’d to myself while taking an incredible hot shower…. “….Sleep without a tent?!!?” i don’t even know if this is a treat given shelter is a basic human need, but here is your permission to splurge a little bit. It’s worth it!

just taking off one day

i have always been nomadic at heart, so my favorite thing to do is just pack up the car with camping gear and snacks and pick a direction. make sure you have gas money and stop at all the stupid lil stops you see along the way like the world's largest rocking chair and only eat at small local restaurants and drink too much caffeine and take lots of pictures. it's so freeing and you'll have so many fun stories.

When your new book is finally available for preorder ❤️

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️

Unwound

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s. So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it: “Unwound is the best band of the ’90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesn’t say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasn’t stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the ’90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.” R.I.P. Vern Rumsey. This is their finest song, from their finest album. I really can’t say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. 🖤
