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, the interwebs and whatever else I deem worthy of sharing.
In addition to my ramblings here, I write a weekly column for Getting Blanked called "The Battle Of Los Angeles" and a bi-weekly column for PureVolume called "Everything In Its Right Place".
I'm also the co-founder of a baseball-specific twitter feed and blog with my good friend Ian, called Productive Outs.
In the past, you may have read my column at OC Weekly called "3hree Things", which ran every Tuesday for a couple of years, my writing on the Los Angeles Angels and Lakers for SB Nation Los Angeles, my newsdesk contributions for several of SB Nation's regional sites, or my sporadic contributions to Flip Collective .
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: Converge, “Eagles Become Vultures”
I’ve been working on learning “Homewrecker” from Jane Doe so that I can play it for fun with a few friends, and in doing so, I’ve been watching a ton of live footage of Converge. I’ve always been a huge fan of Ben Koller’s playing, and after watching a bunch of live clips, trying to dissect his parts and having All We Love We Leave Behind in heavy rotation of late, my appreciation of his playing has jumped to a whole new level. He’s freaking incredible.

They really did catapult to a new level when he took over drumming responsibilities.
