Re: PAveMEnT: A Remote Cooperation Audio Tournament (Winter 2020)

I'll leave more comprehensive feedback privately, but in general, I thought the set was great. For Dr. Prince, I'll note that I played the entir...

Re: Best Song of the 2010s Bracket

Kanye West - Runaway vs. IDLES - Danny Nedelko For the most part, I feel uninspired by 2010s post-punk. Bands like Black Midi, Protomartyr, and Algiers make me feel like the genre is stale and formulaic, having lost the soul and accessibility of the post-punk revival of the 2000s (think Interpol, L...

Re: Michigan Side Event Weekend (August 19th-20th)

Since Chuck Berry has turned into quads, Jennie Yang and I would like to team up with people who might know 80s rock and/or general pop-rock through the ages. If this sounds like you, or not, or if you're chris ray, and you're looking for teammates, feel free to message her/me here or on facebook.
