The Blank Slate Is a Beautiful Thing

Mostly Music

Every day is a unique setlist. Hippies and metalheads unite. Music makes my body and mind move, and running does the same. Reading books is a good habit, while basketball and F1 are also passions. No such thing as coincidence. Journey or destination? Challenges and change. The evolution of things. Let’s go.

MOSTLY MUSIC is also available on Substack, with pieces such as the Song for Sunday series. Come read.

You know that feeling when you haven’t hung out with a good friend or eaten at your favorite restaurant in a while? Yeah, right there with you… ✏️ “The Long Wait Between Lotus Shows” Part lesson in patience, part research into a song’s history. It’s all about the “Space In Between,” but April can’t come fast enough 🪷 Blog post @lotusinstagram 01/18/25 & 07/03/25

Some fine thrash from Chicago during this post-Christmas/pre-NYE weekend… ✏️ “Song for Sunday: ‘Twist Of Fate’ by Misfire” Relentless, like the waves of food in the past several days, but better. Continued good times

What happens when the past intersects with the present at the full album live experience? ✏️ “Death Angel, Act III: Maturity Takes a Bow” Amazing to watch and hear @deathangelofficial play their third LP from front to back a few weeks ago. As fresh and progressive as ever. The connection is strong with this one. Happy holidays 🤘 Blog post Death Angel 12/04/25

Racket NYC is a quality venue. Finish off the weekend 💪 📺 Highlights
@category7band stormed into Racket NYC last night. Third and final show in their run. Just a heavy opening set, very happy I got to see them live. John Bush never disappoints. The whole group is great. Awesome watching @jasonbittner play drums again

Collaboration is always present at Brooklyn Bowl, and I felt it big time during the recent Relix x Whalebone apparel launch party with Bearly Dead… ✏️ “High Collaboration at Brooklyn Bowl” Great event. Honored to have been invited, made me happy to write about it. Because collaboration isn’t just a concept, it’s a skill. And a good one. Fun, too.
