Sam – My son Sam was born in July & he is very cool already! Superchunk was his first rock show at the Hopscotch Festival on my birthday.
The return of Crooked Fingers to Merge! – I could not be more thrilled to say “Welcome home” to one of my favorite bands!
WTF Podcast – interviews with comedians that are always surprising and endlessly entertaining. Louis CK & Judd Apatow are essential listens.
Going to the Grammys – Who knew Arcade Fire would win “Album of the Year?!” No one except for Jamie (our head of retail), but we sure had a great time representing Merge!
Fucked Up‘s David Comes to Life – I listened to this album almost on repeat for months.
Friday Night Lights & The New Adventures of Old Christine – Two shows that made those feedings every 2 hours bearable!
Generationals – I love the new Generationals live band and the new record, Actor-Caster! One of my favorite bands.
Destroyer’s Kaputt video & live show – Destroyer’s first video ever did not disappoint – from the moment that weird looking kid wiped his nose, I was blown away! And when the guy pulled out his flute at the Destroyer show at the Cradle, I thought for sure someone in the audience was going home pregnant!
Spite & Malice app on my iphone – Can’t. Stop. Playing. Best card game ever.
Nutter Butters & vanilla ice cream – World’s Best Dessert.
