I just went 82-0, think you can go 82-0? www.82-0.com/share?id=0tA...

70’s - The Godfather or Godfather II 80’s - too many choices that change 5 times if you asked me 5 times. But I’ll go Back to The Future 90’s - toooooo many choices. I’ll go with Dazed & Confused with Heat a close 2nd 00’s - The Dark Knight 10’s - OUATIH 20’s - Off the top of my head? One Battle…

This movie knew what it needed to be…it understood the assignment. It passed the assignment with flying colors. And Jared Leto is….are you sitting down?….I dare say perfectly cast. He too understood the assignment.

Played a show in a basement on Friday night. It was hotter than hell….but damn we had fun. Ended the set with a cover of an old WVHC band. The band that I personally cite as my entry point into hardcore. Malicious Intent from Bridgeport, WV. Song is called ‘Pitchforkeye.’

Superb.

My Tuesday night in 4 pics… •buy the merch •END IT! •Pain of Truth! •Met Scott Vogel…did not immediately stage dive. 30 years and counting in the hardcore scene and I ain’t slowing down any time soon.

Me (a certified nerd) - •incredibly giddy that my band now has a shirt design printed on Comfort Colors blanks…with more designs on CC to come 😁• (pic 2 is a preview of the next shirt I’m getting printed)

Am I biased? Yes. Do is think my bands stickers are awesome? Also yes 😂

My band is running a contest from now until Labor Day #ExploreWV

Our music is going to be in an honest to god movie! HIGH SCHOOL LULLABY is a “high school coming of age story oozing with pop-punk vibes.” It is having its world premiere on April 11th in Baltimore and ‘To Live & Die In West By God Virginia’ makes a camo appearance in a scene in the film!

•LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON• If I accomplish nothing else with this band then at least I’ll know I got to share a stage with my best friend…
As I said on stage Saturday; he is living proof that hardcore does not die! We pass it on to the next generation.

This weekend was fun…to put it mildly.

*cue up Katrina & The Waves* Don’t mind me, just enjoying the fact that it’s 60 degrees today….

Today’s mail covers multiple interests of mine.

This Friday! linktr.ee/commonground...

Sitting here on this iceberg…counting the hours until Tuesday and it’s 50 degree temp projections…it seemed like a good day to watch some Leone.

There are few records that mean more to me than these two tapes mean more to me….

(this post is not about Damian Lewis’s portrayal of Major Richard Winters in ‘Band of Brothers’)

(this not a post about the MCU)

Full artwork & tracklist for my bands debut/demo. Coming in February. This band is called Common Ground… be ready.

I am definitely enjoying my time in The Land of Proops @gregproops.bsky.social

Observations from a long travel day… •traveling via Delta was shockingly painless and easy. •San Francisco’s airport is massive. •my body’s gonna need a minute to adjust to being on PST for the next few days.

things are happening

How I KNOW I’m in NYC? Standing outside the hotel smoking a little bit ago…2 dudes in butter Timbs, Yankee fitteds and down puffers just walked by. I could faintly hear Jadakiss on the wind…

It is objectively perfect that people are posting about MTV going off the air forever last night instead of turning on the television and noticing that it did not.

Tommorow morning I’ll get on a plane and spend a whirlwind 24ish hours in NYC…well…The Bronx to be specific. As a Red Sox fan sometimes I have to swallow my pride for the greater good

80 Days until WV Punk Rock Flea Market

•The Internet On The Last Day of 2025; “2026 will be the year of physical media!” •Me; “ooookay…well….nice of y’all to decide to join me and a buncha people I know who never gave up on or stopped buying physical media.” (this just scratches the surface of what I have…)

🎄🎅

🎅🎄 It’s Christmas Eve - be sure and leave some shoes, extra mags, and smokes out for John McClane.

I love my band…I’m taking the process of building it from the ground up very seriously. BUT it’s NOT so “SUPER SRS GRRRRRR!” that when a friend texts an idea that I think is hilarious I won’t make that happen. And that’s how I ended up punching one of my guitar players with a Pepporoni Roll…
