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.

FROM THE DESK OF THRICE: PAUL SHIRLEY'S “CAN I KEEP MY JERSEY?: 11 TEAMS, 5 COUNTRIES, AND 4 YEARS IN MY LIFE AS A BASKETBALL VAGABOND”

The fourth and final guest editorial I wrote for Magnet Magazine.

Paying tribute to written word with written word is always a bizarre exercise for me. It would be like me covering “Everything In It’s Right Place” by Radiohead to show you why I think you might like it, rather than just playing you the track from Kid A, or trying to reenact Magic Johnson’s game-winning running sky-hook in Game 4 of the 1987 NBA Finals, instead of just showing you the clip. I hope I did Mr. Shirley and the book justice, because it’s a fantastic read, whether you’re a basketball fan or not.

You can read more of Shirley’s work in his weekly music column for ESPN, or at flipcollective.com.
