“Now go back where you came here from”

One thing about the Squatch Hunter Hotel: "Ancient Aliens" is on the TV in the lobby all day. So, thankfully, no Billy Joel playing at breakfast.

Party Center

Made it halfway to NJ, stopping for the night at the little hotel I always use, mainly because someone who works here is a Bigfoot hunter

This happened

"Takin' A Ride" - Replacements. See y'all in Jersey

Heading up to Jersey tomorrow to make some big noise...

Aikin and me in the latest issue of *Informal Logic*, on the Curative Fallacy informallogic.ca/index.php/in...

Met today with my recent PhD student Dr. Jun Han for a last consultation before he takes up his post-doc in Hong Kong...

An old riff I relearned by playing along with a recording of my 22 year-old self... odd experience

Spent the afternoon learning Robert Fripp's parts on Bowie's "Scary Monsters" Someone gave me that Bowie album for my 11th birthday. It was the first time I ever took notice of the guitar playing on a record. I'm amazed at how fresh and distinctive Fripp sounds

Finally getting some quality guitar content on IG

More Mellow Monday... "Chelsea Hotel No. 2" - Leonard Cohen. "Those were the reasons, that was New York..." gets me every time. (My usual programming will resume shortly)

For reasons that may be obvious, and given that Gibson never made a lefty ES-295, this might have to happen....

Mellow Monday. "Sorrow's Child" - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Preparing for my road trip this week to New Jersey...

Possibly the dumbest guitar I've ever seen

Niche Riff Sunday. "Tabazan" - Killing Joke. Noisy.

There's something distinctively pathetic about an elderly man's desperate attempts to look tough

Dude in a black VW Bug driving down Arlington s Fairfax Ave at 8am blasting “Crazy Train” knows what’s up

Seriously considering crashing the wedding happening this evening in the hotel I'm staying at....

Happening now....

Just landed in DC. This city keeps getting creepier

Not sure how to feel about the following pair of facts: 1) my IG feed is littered with Limp Bizkit content, and 2) the guitarist plays through two Roland JC-120s

Happy Friday! "Bleed For Me" - Dead Kennedys

Happy Anti-Christmas, also Quine's birthday....

Down the block from me...

"Kick Your Door Down" - The Replacements

Seeing Joe Jackson tonight at Nashville’s fabulous Ryman Auditorium. Once again, I find myself of the lower end of the age demographic….

Is the following a conspiracy theory? 500 years ago, alien reptilians secretly injected all humans with chemicals that rendered them & their descendants free & equal moral persons for whom society is well-ordered when arranged as a fair system of cooperation for mutual advantage

"Natural's Not In It" - Gang Of Four. By request

"Sonic Reducer" - Dead Boys. I probably owe an apology to Cheetah Chrome for playing this on a Tele, especially since a Gibson was within arm's reach...

I regret to inform you that I have recorded an attempt at Geordie's opening riff to Killing Joke's "Tabazan." Easily his most noisy, dissonant riff. Will post soon.

Were there vandals, there'd be video. And were there video, you'd have been shown it by now.

I'm still taken aback when I meet an academic who's sincerely convinced that their favorite dead guy got everything right and our task is simply to adopt all of his views

Happy Monday Evening! "Ruby's Arms" - Tom Waits. Still recovering from travel and it's been raining all day....

Judging from the tenor of the multiple emails I've received from them today, Warby Parker is a lot more excited about the arrival of my new eyeglasses than I am

Hereby calling for a total and complete shutdown of Metaphysics until we figure out what the hell are the values of the bound variables in our best scientific theories

Unplanned colab with another philosopher-guitarist... youtu.be/LK3uSmhHQmU?...

Placing "epistemic" in front of another word is a hullava drug

A few days ago, troublemaking in Croatia...

Crucial Life Lesson: In the end, the slime always wins

Downward rock progression, mild overdrive tone. My ordinary programming will resume shortly....

5 cities in 4 countries in 1 day. A new record for me. (Happy to be home)

You can learn a lot about humans by watching a group of them deplane

BREAKING: Using the floor around your seat on a transatlantic flight for your garbage is a thing now

I vaguely remember a time when making one’s way through an airport and boarding a plane wasn’t quite so miserable

I have a 8:20am flight out of Zagreb tomorrow (Saturday). I'm in Rijeka, which is a two hour drive away from Zagreb. Luckily, a spectacularly kind soul is picking me up at 4:30am. It's going to be a wild travel day...

Oh, hi....

Cover of my second album….
