Blink-182 Live @ Big Stink 4 (August 8th, 1999)
A while back someone messaged me on Instagram and said they found an old CD of Blink-182’s Big Stink 4 performance at Portland Meadows in Portland, Oregon from back in August of 1999. They asked if I wanted it. I said sure! So they sent me one big MP3 file.
I cut it up and did some slight editing to try and clean it up a little bit. It’s still pretty rough, but for a live recording from 1999 I’ve definitely heard worse. (“What’s My Age Again?” has some pretty bad feedback at two spots I couldn’t fix.)

The new Coheed & Cambria album is another gem in a crazy great catalog. And I listened to a bunch of Sum 41 this week while finishing Deryck’s book.
The entire thing is good, but that cover of "Only One" is the one. Listen: https://chorus.fm/share/alb...
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.

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.

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.
