What did I learn in my time away from Twitter? You can be on the cutting edge of health and wellness just by skipping breakfast. It’s called intermittent fasting and I highly recommend it if you want to be super hungry at lunch, eat taco bell and shit your pants later.

Than you Ray!

Oh, you like the style of the 90s? Do it then. Put the puke shells on. If you’re gonna be a bear, be a grizzly.

I already tried to get into Television and failed once, and that was back when I had to actually buy Marquee Moon on CD for the attempt. So, sorry Geese. None for me, please.

Hey acoustic guitar players! I can hear your light strings…they sound…light.

Telluride Bluegrass Festival Founder: what if we had a festival that was exactly like the hundreds of other bluegrass festivals in America every year only at this one…no one can breathe.

Also, I think Portland, Austin and Asheville should all get together and just decide who is going to do this…

There’s a lot of dudes in Asheville look like they’d want to show you their sword collection.

If I had one piece of advice I’d give aspiring musicians it would be to practice lightly. If you become too good, good music will be boring for you and you’ll end up playing music no one wants to listen to.

It’s been brought to my attention that some people buy a new swimsuit every summer. Where I come from, you only get to do that if it falls off in a lake. Otherwise, that is your swimsuit…in perpetuity.

I live in near constant fear of entering into a Stevie Ray Vaughan phase.

My four year old just told me that my eyelids feel cool. No one has ever told me that before. I’m taking it for a win.

MJ Lenderman vaguely reminds me of music I listened to in high school. I’m into it.

I’ve never understood how people can use different electric guitars through one amp during a show and make them each sound good with the different pickup sounds and volume…I think it’s a mystery I’ll never touch. Thanks.

I will miss David Lynch. I hope he has beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine all along the way to where he is going.

It seems so mysterious when two people are described as “estranged”

Sometimes I think about how my entire life could have been altered if PRS had designed a different headstock. I might have one and maybe I’d even be looking at more online right now…

My 4yr old daughter has been asking a lot of detailed questions lately about how to operate a motor vehicle. As part of the 9/11 generation, this arises an inherent suspicion in me those flight instructors probably had but couldn’t place.

Kurt Vile probably had to give up saying “pretty pimpin’” in his everyday personal life. What we have to sacrifice for art…sad.
