She was a grade lower than me and Wilco wasn't especially popular with high school students in the early to mid 2000s (shocker, I know). I think it was one of those things where someone said something along the lines of, "You know that one band you like? There's someone else here who actually likes them too."

It's really funny to me that Sima asked Jeff to show how to play Chinese Apple when she showed me how to play the riff back in high school.

The what now?

Finished my album yesterday!

Listening and making music is literally the only thing that has seemed relatively normal during the pandemic. Making music at the very least gives me something to focus on besides the pandemic. I've lost interest in a lot of other things that I love like reading, cooking, gaming with my friends, and puzzling/playing cards with my wife. My job can be pretty punishing with the sheer amount of time in front of a screen (I'm a teacher and my district has no interest in improving remote learning conditions for their teachers and students) and I get constant migraines due to it.

Nothing says “macho man” like whining like a little bitch. I still struggle with how his supporters think that this shows strength.

Very low bar to clear.

Apparently Pence is dipping out on vacation while Agent Orange won't concede. Such strength in our leaders.

Happy birthday!!!

The White Sox fan in me is listening to this song all day.

The Locator guitar parts are in Can't Stand It.

I think someone (may have been an official in Georgia) said that it could be as low as 50 or as much as 8,900 of those ballots in Georgia.

If Detroit pulls it off, I swear the sheer amount of shit I talk about the city will dramatically decrease (keep it confined to baseball and hockey).

It’s like one giant anxiety attack. I really fucking hate the electoral college.

I hope so!!!

You already have! I sent it to you before I submitted.
