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.

Flashback Friday: Young Black Teenagers, “Tap The Bottle”

In 1993, these guys (none of whom were actually black) blew up with a song about how to open a 40. I can’t imagine they’d have as successful in doing so, if it weren’t for House of Pain paving the way for white rappers bouncing around and rapping about how awesome they were with “Jump Around” in 1992.

I owned both records, so it’s kinda my fault. Sorry.
