I Just Wanna Say I’m Obsessed With Japandroids Fate & Alcohol Album

It came out in October of 2024, but I wasn’t running features at the time and also I didn’t realize it came out until November. I’ve been playing it like crazy though ever since.

Say It Ain’t So, Sums!

I used to have this friend who I met back in high school that for years and years during the time we spent together, he’d periodically bring up that time we went to go see Sum 41 play at the Kee to Bala when we were like 14. “The all ages section was up on the balcony, remember? That show was amazing!” He must have … Continue reading Say It Ain’t So, Sums!

This blog is part 11 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 10. It was a little while again before I heard back from the producer about scheduling the vocal workshop.
