Fuck all your empathy, I want your fury 🎵
Hell of a line, Mike. 🎶

🎶 I typically only work 4 days a week, so Fridays are big important family days
🎶 Happy @LinkinPark #FromZero release day to all those who celebrate!
🎶 📚 Finished reading “Walking Disaster” a few days ago, the autobiography/memoir by Sum 41 founder Deryck Whibley. As a huge Sum 41 and pop punk fan, this was great and revealed a lot of things I had never heard of before. Highly recommend it for likeminded fans! #BookThreads
🎶 At the Linkin Park concert tonight! @acmomento #LinkinPark #FromZero
What a great band — and the addition of Emily Armstrong is fantastic: such a great voice!
🎶 Well… this is just over a year away, but bound to be a lot of fun! @Offspring with @SimplePlan as the opening act 💪👨🎤🤘🎸🔥
🎶 Added my concerts to the @ACMomento Music Beta and I gotta say this one was possibly the most “you just had to be there” moment!
🎶 Turns out the great Vinyl market drought was an error. Here’s Discogs with the explainer:
You’ve likely felt the panic this week: Vinyl sales are reportedly down by (a somewhat ironic) 33.3%, marking the first decline in 17 years. Inflation and industry greed are to blame. But these headlines didn’t paint the entire picture.
[…] Discogs contacted Chris Muratore, director of partnerships at Luminate, who confirmed that the reported data is incorrect. Vinyl sales are actually up 6.2 percent. Billboard has since added language to their “Market Watch” report, clearing up the error.

🎶 “The Fray” released a new album last week and I was wondering why it sounded so different. Turns out, the lead singer is no longer in the band and owns a record store now… #TheFrayIsBack #HowToSaveALife
🎶 Happy new @blink182 release day to all those who celebrate religiously! #PopPunkKid
🎶 As a Punk Rock kid, I’ve been having a lot of fun with Dan Ozzi’s “Sellout” audiobook and getting to (re-)discover different punk bands.
A recent favorite: The Donnas!
🎶 It’s here and it’s glorious! 🤘🎸🎵
# John Mayer (Solo, Live in Paris)
3/25/24
🎶 About last night:
My all-time favorite artist (John Mayer) playing his very first concert in Paris. It was my second time seeing John after attending the Paradise Valley tour back in 2013
It was really cool to see him take the stage by himself for 2 hours! John played mostly acoustic, but it was an opportunity to hear songs from every single album he put out (with the additions of In Your Atmosphere and his iconic Free Fallin' cover!
🎶 “Modern life is mostly bullshit, so why not pogo your way to the grave?”
🎶 What an album! Been on repeat non-stop since Friday #PopPunk #GreenDay
🎶 Listening to Green Day’s American Idiot (the album) front to back for the first time in a while, outside of the big singles.
Damn, it really is a FINE album with some great tracks, lyrics, musicality!
🎶 Mark singing this part always gets me:
“I begged for your forgiveness
I made a deal with God
I took you all for granted
You can write my epilogue”
🎶 Been meaning to read this for years so glad to finally catch-up via the Audiobook
🎶 Blink-182 is forever!
🎶 Had a lot of fun catching up on the live set from Sum 41 at this year’s HellFest!
