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.

Flashback Friday: Eddy Grant, “Electric Avenue” (1983)

This was the first piece of music that was ever “mine”. I fell in love with the song after hearing it on the radio, so my mom did me a solid and bought me the 7”. It was the first entry in what has grown to be a massive music collection, and almost thirty years later I still back the track. It’s gonna be stuck in my head all day (and now it’ll be stuck in yours).

Note: I don’t know what’s better; that Eddy Grant was doing the BWAAAAAAMP drops thirty years before Skrillex, or that he synced said BWAAAAAAMP up to a close-up of a guy revving his motorcycle for this video.
