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.

The Battle of Los Angeles: Week 7

It’s time for a brand new Battle of LA for Getting Blanked, featuring plus-SciosciaFace, the birth of MattinglyFace, K-pop DERP, a(nother) horrible column from T.J. Simers and some really bad baseball.

Productive Outs - PRODcast 45: Pedro Martinez's Lucky Midget

Another fun one. Episode 45 full of awesome music from Cult Of Luna, the wisdom of Mr. Marc Normandin, the return of socktalk, tons of baseball discussion and some quality ranting from both the two jackasses who host the show.

Enjoy.

Swing Pr0n: Hunter Pence is the best worst baseball player of all-time

Grant Brisbee made a baby, lost his mind and asked me to guest post at McCovey Chronicles. So, I did. This is that, and it’s about my favorite baseball player, Hunter Pence.

My latest for Getting Blanked, featuring the latest on the baseball’s burgeoning pissing contest in LA/OC, (an amazing) DERP of the Week, 70-grade SciosciaFace, and much more.
