All in LONG PULLS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DAN REEDER
“If you smoke, knock it off. You won't really feel that much better, but your kids will be happy.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ AYLA BROOK & THE SOUND MEN
“I feel it’s nice these days to either listen to a conversation between intelligent people, or reminisce about something I share a mutual love for.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ IKSRE
“If I'm feeling unsettled and too in my head, I go outside and put my feet on the grass, even if it's cold, it helps. We are part of nature, we aren't separate to it, and the more we can engage with it, the better we feel on the inside.”
LET'S MEET UP AT THE CORNER OF ENLIGHTENMENT & TRYING TO BECOME

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ LOGAN AND NATHAN
“Create something! Be gentle on yourself but also show up and get shit done.”
Why 'Name Your Price, No Minimum' Is Better Than A 'Free Download'
“If "free download" is the only option available to someone visiting your album page, then you have not only taken away that fans choice of showing you a little financial appreciation, but you have also taken from that fan the possibility of being able to add your release to their Bandcamp Collection.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JULIE ARSENAULT
“The tape had "Julie Andrews" written on it. I thought that meant the tape belonged to my brother and I (his first name is Andrew). So, since it was taped especially for me, I watched it every day. It is magical.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ KING ROPES
“Whatever happiness and mental health stability I have, I have to give a lot of credit to riding a bike.“

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ THE VELVOIDS
“On an everyday, more down-to-earth level, I’m going to go with cooking. Cooking will mellow you out.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SCIENCE IS FICTION
“Find something you enjoy doing, whether you’re good at it or not, and make time for that. It’s a self-prescription for your mental health. I’d recommend making music!“
