There are many things I admired about Adam Yauch and the Beastie Boys in general: They were/are talented lyricists and musicians. They had the ability to genuinely evolve their style and had a career that spanned decades. They were pioneers and have influenced many other artists I like. One of the things I respected the…

Six months in Los Angeles
Today marks six months since I moved to The City of Angels. Part of me can’t believe it’s been half a year because time has flown, but the other part of me feels like two years’ worth of things have taken place already. I’ve made some amazing friends and have had some awesome experiences. I…

Meltdown Comics
Here are some photos I took at Meltdown Comics. It’s an awesome store that I could get lost in for hours. The Nerdist Theater is in the back of the store and has some cool events.

Lacey Conner – The Stranger
Last month, I was a part of the music video shoot for Lacey Conner’s new single “The Stranger”. Many of you already know who Lacey is, as she was the frontwoman for Nocturne, a contestant on “Rock of Love”, and the live singer for Lords of Acid on their tour last year (not easy shoes…
Goodbye, Hitchypoo
Christopher Hitchens’ death is hitting me harder than I expected. It’s not like we didn’t know this was coming. I met him just a few days before he was diagnosed with cancer last year. He was doing a book tour for Hitch-22, which was coincidentally a memoir. I was last in line to get my…
