“If we don’t have equal access to music, we risk not hearing from so many voices in the music world. Just think about how many people we’ve never gotten to hear from because they didn’t have access to music education.“ My latest for Style Weekly.

I am so freaking proud of my husband

We have so many amazing film collectives here!

I always feel a little sad this time of year and this year especially has been brutal, but tonight I’m also reminded of the people that helped me through. A text, a coffee, a high five, a like or reply to a post… none of it goes unnoticed. Thanks for making my life a little brighter. Happy holidays.

Not feeling particularly festive this season so here’s a playlist of sad holiday songs.

Another year older. It was a good day. Thank you for the nice birthday messages.

Today marks the 3 year anniversary of my book RVA playlist and the 1 year anniversary of the Deluxe Edition. Thank you to everyone who has bought a copy, told me they liked it, shared it with friends, and harassed me about when another book is coming out. It meant the world to me.

Local hip-hop is so under appreciated. Love what these guys are doing.

Bill was such a force for the music community. I hosted “Global A Go-Go” for him once and was terrified because I knew nothing about world music. He told me that world music was just “local music from someplace else.” I did a world music tour on my show and it’s probably one of my favorites ever.

@rvaplaylist.bsky.social and I won horror trivia tonight! I like being rewarded for leaving the house!

So caught up with horror film fests, I forgot to share my latest Style Weekly interview with Mexi-Tonk band Ramona and the Holy Smokes.

Another incredible weekend at @brooklynhorror.bsky.social. I love this annual tradition of being surrounded by the horror loving community.

If you’re not listening to Dead Billionaires, you really should get on that.

Excited to be at Brooklyn Horror Film Festival this weekend. Come hang with me on Saturday for @certifiedforgot.bsky.social as they interview special guest Tina Romero.

For the past few years, the team at Brooklyn Horror have kept a slot in their schedule for @certifiedforgot.bsky.social — even as they’ve grown. It would mean a lot if you could help us spread the word and fill the house next weekend.

A huge honor to moderate the @styleweekly.com FWD:RVA panel about how to move Richmond’s music scene forward. Some brutally honest discussion about the challenges our community faces. Thanks to everyone who joined us.

This Thursday, I’m hosting @styleweekly.com FWD:RVA panel on the future of Richmond’s music scene. I’ll be joined by @theauricular.bsky.social @tymeach.bsky.social DJ B-Rice and Madi Thompson.

Another @styleweekly.com piece this week on the new @willoverman.bsky.social album “Stranger” out this Friday (plus an in-store show at Plan 9.

Alt rockers The Mitras calls it quits with one final show at the Broadberry this weekend. My latest in @styleweekly.com

I’m a firm believer in horror movies being very helpful in dealing with mental health struggles. I talked with advocacy and support group Victims and Villains about using pop culture and horror to address mental health. (And their film festival this weekend)

I pulled together a list of (almost) all of the local music coming out this fall!

Thrilled to contribute to the @styleweekly.com Fall Arts Preview with a piece on the upcoming local albums coming to Richmond this fall.

Had the Louise Belcher stickers rant in my head the entire time while writing this.

FNTW has been such a welcoming place to get my Bob’s Burgers discussion fix and is a Monday night staple for me. Join us for trivia night next week and tell Mike and JB that they’re awesome.

I made it into the night’s recap looking like a dork.

I didn’t have a plan on what to play tonight hosting “The Young Professional” on @wrir973fm.bsky.social but I think it turned out pretty well. Thanks for tuning in! You can listen to the show here: www.wrir.org/2025/08/14/t...

Another reason why CF is an amazing outlet and deserves your support

My @wrir973fm.bsky.social show last night playing songs from artists performing around town this week. Lots of good stuff in here!

Another project I’m working with: Today is the start of Richmond Music Week, a week-long celebration spotlighting Richmond, Virginia’s thriving music scene. Events will be happening all week at numerous live music venues and festivals.

Love this so much

After speaking with the RVA Renaissance Faire on their upcoming event, I’m very excited to be going to my first renfaire this weekend.

What perfect albums came out when you were 16?

Excited to see more of the WNUF Cinematic Universe. #trickortreatwithreedrichmond

Okay, I had a good night.

Congrats to Todd on his excellent screenplay!

I love talking with people in my city doing cool music things.

baltimore man, what a fuckin place

Chatted with longtime music pal Jim Ivins on his new song, performing in Sudan and why 2000s pop rock is the best.

I changed my mind about 50 times on this

I spoke with the incredibly talented Timothy Bailey about why he ditched streaming and only releasing his new solo album to those who ask.

Stream my show from last night’s Commonwealth of Notions on @wrir973fm.bsky.social.

I have four short pieces in @styleweekly.com’s quarterly print issue celebrating the best things about Richmond. Copies are available at newsstands now.

Make Matt’s birthday by contributing to Certified Forgotten and get some of the best horror film content around. Seriously, you won’t regret it.

At a special screening for Moonstruck raising funds for @studiotwothree.bsky.social. We had pizza and cannolis. I’ve said “Snap out of it!” several times.

Also today in @styleweekly.com: Musician and comic creator @jaredthrone.bsky.social talks about his debut sci-fi heist graphic novel “Bridge Planet Nine,” out this fall from @topshelfcomix.bsky.social

New in @styleweekly.com today: VA Pride takes over the Quirk Hotel to create the “Gayest Room Ever” pop-up room with art and pieces from Richmond’s LGBTQ+ history.

It’s always fun playing Jackbox on streams with @mattybs.bsky.social and @lissybs.bsky.social. Even better being the big winner.

Even after a 17 year hiatus, Hot Lava still rules the stage.

This was overpriced and not very good, but the presentation was stellar.
