“I’d miss Daily Kos, but seriously, isn’t the internet just a garbage fire?”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in LONG PULLS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SHANA HARTZEL
“I think going alone to a show, a movie, a party, or whatever thing you like to do is invaluable in creating a more fulfilling experience for yourself. Personally, it helps me be more open minded, focused, and willing to make new friends.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JACK STANSBURY
“Quit using Facebook. I did and I’m loving it. Seriously, it is awful and a huge waste of time.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DOUG HOYER
“Eat less meat and more veggies, please.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DAN KNISHKOWY
“I'm not particularly good at this but one thing I've been thinking about lately is being willing to be more flexible in the pursuit of goals.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ LIEVEN SCHEERLINCK
“Sit in the sun at least 30 minutes a day. Not walking, not running, not working. Just sit and feel the sun.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ ADAM SHARP
“Not a whole lot of folks could write something this ambitious and out there, and even fewer could do so after writing a couple albums deeply rooted in the sad bastard side of folk. It's a very different, very special record and I think it's got a little something for everyone.”

“Take it from me —a guy who has spent more than a normal amount of time continually trying to discover fresh tunes— finding new music becomes completely pointless if you don't actually stop and listen to what you've found.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ TREV ELKIN
“Learn a language. Seriously, your brain will thank you for it. It can also be fun and you’ll open up a whole new world of arts, media and culture that makes the world a far more interesting place.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ HENRY TOFT
“Before I start I want to make a few things clear. I am not to be trusted. I was born in 1974. Look at those numbers!”
Thank you Bandcamp. And damn you.
“A music service has never so brilliantly propositioned us to put our money where our mouths are. You can "like" something all you want (or scrobble, heart, whatever), but if you want an album to show up in your collection, you'll need to actually get out your wallet and support the people who made it. With money. And that's a great thing for artists.”
