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: Elliott, “Blessed By Your Own Ghost” 

False Cathedrals came out twelve years ago and I’d go so far as to say that it’s one of the five best* emo records of those past twelve years. It still holds up and then some, and it’s crazy to think they weren’t a more successful band. While the record doesn’t have the fancy production bells and whistles of some of its more successful peers in the genre, the songs are there, the melodies are there, the emotion is there, and there’s a rawness and looseness that just feels like honesty to me. And in this particular genre, that should probably account for a lot.

Buy False Cathedrals here.

*err…”my five favorite”.
