Finally had a moment to finish this one.
Really enjoyed the backstory to some of the songs of my youth. Learned a lot I didn’t know, some I did. Fast read. Would recommend for any fan of the band.

Early mornings, made by warnings
Sum 41 - "Heart Attack"
What's the point of the alarm that I'm ignoring?
It's even raining, I'm not complaining
But waking up is hard to do
So, turn my head, it's back to bed with no delay
Can't be bothered by the phone ten times today
Why get up? My morning doesn't even start 'til two
Forget reality, waking up is hard to do

I’ve discovered that The Ataris are perfect track workout music.
Liner Notes (March 8th, 2025)
I am not prepared to “spring forward” this weekend, so I am trying to focus on the return of the sun instead. This week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here.

Most played last week.
That new Spiritbox album is excellent. Lots to enjoy on the new Lady Gaga as well.
When the stars exploded billions of years ago, they formed everything that is this world. Everything we know is stardust. So don’t forget, you are stardust.
Before Sunrise (1995)
Things on my radar today: Spiritbox, new Spitalfield single, Nightly, Jason Isbell, and that Kelsea Ballerini deluxe. I'll check out the new Lady Gaga album too. First couple listens of Spiritbox and I'm super happy with it as a follow-up to one of my favorite albums of the past few years.
Sun was out today. Goddamn if this one still ain’t perfect: https://chorus.fm/share/alb...
I made an update to our search results page today. And with that update, I think I've tackled the majority of the "big" items I had on my list for the main website. It was also the 50th update I've made so far this year to the website.
That means next is tackling some things in the forum I've wanted to do for a while. I'm not sure what's going to be first, but I have a few ideas.
Yes, we are giant nerds.
But this is still one of my favorite additions to the basement. A little representation of one of my favorite movies.
Lightsaber made by The Saber Factory and it came out amazing. Great detail. Love the customizations.
The weekend has gotten away from me and I still have a few things I need to do this evening, so I am not expecting to get to write a newsletter this week. However, I do want to plug this new Oversize album, Vital Signs, that came out on Friday. It's very shoegaze/grunge-y, but with a nice balance of melody and heavier moments. It gets a full throated recommendation. Listen: https://chorus.fm/share/alb...
This week’s wall picks.
I was happy to add that Butch Walker album to the collection this week.
