Sum 41’s FOH desk kept overheating because of it being 112 out today, so Matt is mixing the show from an air conditioned hallway on ears.
Just when you think you’ve seen everything.
The evolution of “what people in bands do when their bands break up” has truly taken a wild turn.
2009- clothing line
2014- coffee shop
2019- real estate
Vibes are immaculate yet again.
Mariners fan walked by me with a bucket of beers and said “there’s no way I’m not giving a guy wearing an Elly De La Cruz jersey a beer”
Tested positive for COVID with mild symptoms.
I wouldn’t think twice under normal circumstances- I feel a little crappy, but nothing debilitating. If I had tickets to a Reds game I would still go, for example.
IF YOU ARE PROTESTING, GET TESTED. PERIOD. Even if you feel ok!
Hot take that I would like to discuss:
Stop asking friends to pick you up at the airport.
It’s horribly inconvenient for all involved.
Just take an Uber/lyft/cab. Budget an extra $40 for your trip.
Thoughts?
Cora on Red Sox-Yankees: "I think it's too much sometimes. Back-to-back Sunday night games, with all due respect to ESPN, come on. There's other teams out there and people want to watch them."
Stop taking out your anger about paying merch cuts to venues on
A) underpaid venue staff
and
B) the internet
Only two people can have any effect on the merch cut: your agent and the talent buyer.
You show your entire ass every time you Get Mad Online. Be a pro.
Moving out of the most annoying living situation of my life today and I lived on a bus with the lead singer of Five Finger Death Punch so you know this means something
The final Say Anything album is out today. It is the bagel and lox of music, the gefilte fish of records, the shabbos candle of jams.
@maxbemis
@lazyboneskuehn
and
@willyipmusic
did the damn thing
“You’re seriously trying to charge $30 for a shirt?”
“You’re seriously going to complain about merch prices when we haven’t worked in a year and a half?”
I love boomer shows 🙃
Get the experience of a lifetime and be a roadie for a day when we roll through your city! Sign up to work alongside our crew, stand side stage during our set, hang out with us during soundcheck and more:

MVP is a narrative award, and while both are deserving, Ohtani is the only real answer- and will be indefinitely. He’s not going to win, but if “Ohtani fatigue” sets in I’m going to be big mad.
My Venmo (Danny-Samet) is still open to help roadies in need.
100% of money received will go to someone in the music industry affected by tour cancellations.
We’ve managed to get 7 crew people per diems so far, let’s get that number up!
I’m incredibly excited to announce that I’ve accepted a position with USA Baseball and the Prospect Development Pipeline.
I’ll be spending May-August helping run tournaments, showcases, and assessments for the best young athletes in America.
I’m real juiced about it.
20 minutes before doors
“Hey would you mind selling for the opener as well?”
“Sure! What’s their budget?”
“They can’t pay you”
“...”
“...so is that ok?”
“Sure isn’t”
“...”
“...”
My grandma doesn’t know I have tattoos. I’ve worn long sleeves around her every time I’ve seen her for the last eight years.
Tonight she’s taking me to Jewish Community Night at the Reds game. It is 90 degrees out.
This is the ultimate test: comfort or the respect of my grandma
Tee Higgins on rumors his deal was done: "Yeah, I had a lot of people texting me, man. But I didn’t text them back. I knew there wasn’t nothing there. My mom texted me and was like, 'You got a deal done, son?' I was like, 'Mom, if I had a deal done you'd be the first to know.'"
I am the absolute scum of the earth. I’m working doors for a local show and the ATM here is busted so I’ve been having people Venmo me for tickets and charging them a $2 service fee.
So much of who Mahomes is comes from his baseball background.
This is the textbook arm slot for a shortstop turning two.
He breaks the game by bringing his baseball training onto the gridiron.
Hardcore lives, but people will die.
Unbelievably reckless, selfish, and against everything punk rock is all about.
You have an obligation to your community, and you failed. Big time.
If you aren’t banging the table for a Bernie Sanders presidency and M4A after the last 24 hours, it is just willful and intentional spite towards others at this point.
MOTHER OF GOD SOMEONE JUST TRIED TO SIGN THEIR SQUARE RECEIPT ON MY PHONE WITH A SHARPIE.
I SLAPPED IT OUT OF THEIR HAND.
BABY BOOMERS, DO NOT GO OUT IN PUBLIC.
