A couple of days ago, I checked my "snail mail" mailbox, and stuffed right in there, like a well-packed sausage, was the latest Traditionals album, Steel Town Anthems! But that's not even the exciting part. I mean, yes, it's a solid album, and marks the band's first release with guitarist Dave Harris on lead vocals, but what do I see when I open the included CD booklet? That's

1. I used to dress like a weird asshole to make squares nervous. I liked it, and it was fun. I just got bored with it and I was only doing it for the last couple of years I did because I'm a stubborn, contrary prick and I hate getting lectures from girlfriends and my grandmother, and doing something harmless like stabbing my clothes and safety pinning cigarette butts to a sleeveless denim jacket

Well, obviously I'm not much of a "blogger," as I haven't touched this thing in months, but just on the off chance that someone out there actually reads this crap, I'd thought I'd make an update on the goings on in my life and whatnot. After leaving DCD, I decided I'd give organizing/booking/promoting shows a go. It wasn't nearly as much fun as I thought it would be. I think it's too much

I finally recorded something new for the first time in years. It's Dead City Dealers' "Til the Walls Come Down", the way I originally wrote it... as a rockabilly-esque punk song. Check it out. I also wouldn't mind if you shared it. Thanks.

"[The Disliked] were invited to play a show with Kick To Tha Head and Violent Offense at the Chestnut Street Cafe in Sharon. When we got there, we found out that, apparently, the venue owner didn't know that there was a show booked, or no one ever confirmed the date, or something of that nature. After some convincing by Will, we were allowed to have the show (which no one promoted)

This was the original version of Dead City Dealers, where I played guitar (we had a different singer, Fidget, who left shortly after this). The recordings are kinda rough, but I think they're still listenable, except for the vocals not being very clear. Includes the original version of "Lonely at the Top", and the title track, which is where the instrumental for DCD's "Plastic" came from.

Well, since whoever it is that runs the Facebook page for my local newspaper has decided to ban me, for what I can only assume is my unabashed honesty and consistent criticism of the way the newspaper itself is run, I guess from now on I have no choice but to air my (minor, and brief, but nonetheless frequent) frustrations here, in a worldwide setting.

I just recently launched a ReverbNation profile for my solo project. All of the songs posted thus far are old, except for a "sneak peek" at my new song, which currently has no vocals (or lyrics, for that matter). You can download the instrumental, if you like crap like that. There's also a store, so if you have a dollar or two in your bank account, download a couple MP3s and make me that much

Thankfully, after subjecting myself to the worst commercial pap ever last week, I got an email from Matt of the Tacoma, WA band Noi!se, with 2 MP3 files attached to save me from the dead feeling I had inside. I won't include a download link, since I'm pretty sure these are the only 2 songs on their upcoming 4-way split with Razors in the Night, The Broadsiders, and Sydney Ducks, and the band's

Taken from Billboard.com 1. Foo Fighters "Rope" Definitely not their best work. For some reason, the word "groovy" keeps popping into my head. It sounds too... groovy. Whatever that means. I have a feeling this is going to be the best I get to hear out of the ten, though. I like these guys' older shit, but I think the time Dave Grohl spent with Queens Of The Stone Age may very well have taken
