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.

SHORTFORM RAMBLING

FIND ME ELSEWHERE

I’ve been a fan of David Bazan’s work in Pedro The Lion for a number of years. His most recent solo record, Curse Your Branches, has been a staple in my iTunes Playlist since it was released in August of last year. There’s something about the simplicity of the arrangements; the beautiful melancholy in the chords, melodies, and meter; and the existential introspection in his lyrics that resonates with me like few other artists can.

A fine example of the previous sentence is evidenced in the following clip:

Chill-inducing. Repeatedly.

Unfortunately, I’ve yet to see Bazan at one of his house shows he’s been playing in support of his new record, but thanks to his label and management, and
Bradley’s Almanac (a Boston-based music blog), the next best thing is available for download here:
