I ended up getting promoted from rhythm guitarist to frontman of my high school band when they realized I was good at screaming because a dude and I were messing around on a cover of For Want Of towards the end of practice.

I'm not surprised by this. It was immediately obvious that KBM wasn't gonna be the same without the massive amount of support and sponsorship partners Toyota poured into that team. I just knew that Kyle Busch couldn't have been happy going from battling for championships to employing mid-level pay drivers like Chase Purdy or not even mid-level in Jack Wood, the economics of running that team just totally changed overnight even though they were still building quality equipment.

I'll be excited to see what Spire is looking like next year with a 3 car team with serious sponsorship backing, all the tools to be the top performing Chevy team in the Truck series, maybe continuing to dabble at the Xfinity level now that they own a chassis manufacturing company. After years coasting in the back, they are really shooting their shot at multiseries relevancy

Wish I had the kind of money that can buy an Indycar seat with the best team after only managing to finish 10th in Indy NXT points and 6th of HMD.

Whenever I'm feeling particularly anxious or depressed, this is one of the first songs I go to.

Tbh, it makes the announcement a while back that they would no longer be employing pay drivers a lot less impressive if they just eliminate a car rather than take one on. If those were the two choices, I would have just hired David Malukas, he's a much better driver than Devlin or the other young drivers with budget.

One of my favorite opening lines in any song I've ever listened to, hooks you immediately.

It used to bother me a lot more when I was younger, but honestly the older I've gotten the more I just look at myself and how much I've changed from top to bottom including in a lot of cases things like my tastes in music, and I realize that you can't just expect somebody to stay stationary in life. We're all moving, we're all changing, and you can't expect a musician to only want to do the one thing for their entire career.

So ultimately, yeah it can bum me out when a band changes their sound in a way that I don't enjoy, but I'm just thankful that for the moments it did we had a special connection and leave open the door that maybe down the road I will appreciate the new stuff more than I initially did.

The other day while talking to a friend I compared somebody else's music to Buffalo Tom, and then said "I fully recognize I'm probably the only person who cares about Buffalo Tom", so thank you for proving me wrong.

The first Cramps song I ever heard early in my teens, I was instantly hooked.

My stepfather, who I adored, was an instant huge fan of Death to Smoochy after it came out on home video and would often sing the line "Stepdad's Not Mean He's Just Adjusting"

Omg, how did I not know as the hardest of hardcore Bright Eyes fans that this exists? Great cover(s).

I don't think the selection of films really justifies the price, but the book and teleplays and bonus features are very cool if you love Cushing (which I do).
