WE RECOMMEND: The Callous Daoboys: I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven "Approach this album blind, buckle up and let it take you by surprise."

Reviewed the new Aesop Rock album for @spectrumculture.bsky.social. 30 years in, the man is still spinning gold. spectrumculture.com/2025/06/03/a...

Excited to report that I have finally gotten my first "hater." Join the party by reading my, apparently divisive, music reviews over at @spectrumculture.bsky.social

"In good news for freaky little weirdos, the new Mclusky album is out." Got to review Mclusky's strange and abrasive comeback record for @spectrumculture.bsky.social spectrumculture.com/2025/05/08/m...

Seems like all people want to do is shit on SF these days. Wrote an article about something nice happening in the city for once! www.inspitemagazine.com/in-spite-art...

Aesop Rock is one of the reasons I got into music criticism. Mainly, because it lets me talk about Aesop Rock's music at length without annoying everyone at the dinner table. Anyway, here's 1k words on Aesop Rock courtesy of @spectrumculture.bsky.social

Joshua Burnside consistently ends up in my top artists every year and it's been such a cool opportunity to review his newest album for @spectrumculture.bsky.social

I went out to Berkeley for the inaugural Dollfest, a 2-day punk/rock festival that focuses on femme-fronted bands, and wrote for @spectrumculture.bsky.social about the music, the politicization of identity, and how gatekeeping is dumb. spectrumculture.com/2025/03/04/d...

I do find some satisfaction in knowing Elon Musk will never be able to buy his way into people thinking he's cool. That guy is probably in the White House right now doing the Naruto run and asking people if his jacket makes him look like Brandon Lee.

Our February issue live! With our trademark mix of poetry and visual art, a new critique column on the Irish hip-hop group Kneecap, a spoken word audioscape, and several music tracks, including a preview of the new album by Dave Sims and Scott Spearly (The Knuckle Dusters). ogre.red

Got a new poem up with @ogre.red today!

@spectrumculture.bsky.social let me review the frantic and brutal new project for Melbourne-based grind band, Choof. Really cool of them because this is a small band that makes music that most people would find borderline unlistenable. 4/5 Stars. Would recommend. spectrumculture.com/2025/01/30/c...

Been doing free-writes every morning to create a better practice around writing and oof! the free flow of ideas and emotions can be pretty cringe sometimes!

Happy to report that I am back writing about music for @spectrumculture.bsky.social First piece back is a review of the Boldy James & whothehelliscarlo EP that dropped last month. Take a gander! spectrumculture.com/2025/01/08/b...

A new year isn't really new until I've submitted a packet of poems to several lit journals with unbelievably low acceptance rates. Shout out to the @coloradoreview.bsky.social for keeping me humble.

11 years sober!

Hearing Boldy James rap "The work whiter than Dawson's Creek" cured my seasonal depression for half a day.

Who would have guessed an exhibition match between a YouTuber and 58-year-old man would end up being an over-promoted letdown?

Hey folks! The good people at Wrong Publishing were kind enough to put out my strange little chapbook last year and now you can read it digitally for zero dollars!

Howdy. Wasn't very good at twitter, doubt I'll be good at this one either. I'm an associate clinical social worker and amateur writer. Looking to plug into some digital community.
