HERMITOLOGY
My name is Riley, and I play drums and write music for a band called Thrice.
This is where I ramble about music, sports, food, books, interwebbery, and whatever else I feel like sharing. I apologize in advance.
In addition to my ramblings here, I write a piece for OC Weekly called "3hree Things" that runs every Tuesday, and I'm also writing over at Flip Collective on occasion.
I'm the co-founder of a baseball-specific twitter feed and blog with my friend Ian, called Productive Outs.
And last, but not least, I have a bandcamp page and a soundcloud page that I'll be posting my own music and remixes on every once in a while.

Random Start: Maudlin of the Well, “Monstrously Low Tide”
I went through a pretty heavy Kayo Dot phase in 2008 when Blue Lambency Downward came out. (I still listen to them on occasion, just not all the time, like I did for a while there.) I got into Maudlin of the Well after doing a little research on the origins of Kayo Dot and finding out that they were basically a continuation of what MotW was doing; expansive, experimental, jazzy, doom-influenced, avant-garde metal. It’s pretty out there, but it’s really captivating in a lot of ways. It’s almost like if Talk Talk played listened to a ton of metal in the Spirit of Eden days.
If you like what you hear above, buy Leaving Your Body Map here.
If you’re curious about Kayo Dot, start with Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue.
