I’m on the This Was The Scene podcast this week talking about the When We Were Young Festival, starting and running AbsolutePunk, and a whole bunch of other nostalgia tinged topics. (Overcast link.) I’ve also been sharing some old photos and memorabilia on Instagram.

A few years back I tried to document the history of AbsolutePunk the best I could, with screenshots and commentary, and since there’s a whole podcast over at @thiswasthescene talking about the history of the website up today, figured I’d share some of what I could recreate/find. Link in stories, and check out the podcast, it’s been a while since I’ve been behind a mic, but it was fun to reminisce.

Tomorrow you’ll find me on the @thiswasthescene podcast talking about my career and the years running AbsolutePunk. For fun I found some deep cuts from the scrapbook over the years.

Review: Hippo Campus – LP3
The aptly titled third studio album from Saint Paul, Minnesota’s own indie rock band Hippo Campus is filled with vibrant and layered guitars, smooth as silk vocal harmonies, and plenty of reasons to get excited for their latest direction in their sound. Having just released an EP called Good Dog, Bad Dream last year, this young band appears to have no limitations in their creativity and approach to their music in general. I really enjoyed their last full-length effort, Bambi, and their debut called Landmark made me a lifelong follower of their music, yet with LP3 I couldn’t help but feel a little unfulfilled. This was the first album I didn’t love from first listen, and yet there’s plenty to like on this record that has expanded the possibilities of this band’s music. Time will tell if some of the feelings I have on future spins of this album leave me with a better outlook on this LP.

Fry, Leela and Bender are set for more 31st century adventures. After months of negotiations, Hulu has finalized deals for 20 new episodes of Matt Groening and David X. Cohen’s cult animated sci-fi comedy Futurama to premiere in 2023 on the streamer. In addition to Groening and Cohen, set to come back is the majority of the series’ voice cast, including Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr and David Herman.
Missing from the list is one of the three lead voice actors, John DiMaggio, who voices foul-mouthed robot Bender among half a dozen characters. The role is currently being recast ahead of the first table read on Monday. The decision was made after DiMaggio’s negotiations with Futurama studio 20th Television Animation came to a standstill though there is a desire on both sides to have him rejoin the cast and reprise his role.

It’s simply not possible to talk about the albums that shaped my life without including this one. This and ‘Dude Ranch’ were why I started a little MxPx/Blink-182 fan page called “AbsolutePunk” all those years ago. And I still get a shot of adrenaline the moment I hit play with one of my all time favorite “Track 1’s.”
I literally wore out my CD copy, so I’m trying to be much more gentle with this one.

Another chance to make things right
A chance to fully live your life…”
