Those kids ended up having a pretty nice career. Photos by Dave Gaslin. Early OA promo picture. Signed DVD cover.
It was a massive The Ataris week around here. One of those weeks where I just couldn’t get enough and never got sick of just putting the record back on. Kept thinking, “what do I want to listen to next?” and the answer kept being … more The Ataris.
I’m slowly moving things from my mother’s basement … to my basement. Found this in the latest stack. 2004, during the semester I took off from college, being interviewed by a local paper. The website is about to explode within the next couple of years. Those computer monitors. That T-shirt. The banner!
Not particularly great with the double star spikes there GPT, but not bad in a comic/stylized kind of way. Those first three are my favorites of the experiment (and make a fun iPhone wallpaper). The final “Simpsons” inspired one is just funny.
After all the tears I cried for you
The Ataris - "Car Song"
All the times I tried to let you go
Lay me down under the night
Under the sadness of this life
Darling, take me home
Won’t you take me home?
In love with this song.

April 2025
Turnstile, Yellowcard, The Ataris. Top three most anticipated albums for the rest of the year (that I haven’t yet heard).

Fun workout. Decided to just run until Hannah was done with her sprint training today. Felt good and sat in zone 2/3 for most of it.
