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.

Radiohead - Kid A (8-bit) [FULL ALBUM]
My favorite album of all time. Now, in 8-bit!
Like most 8-bit things, this is pretty cool for about five minutes before it gets kind of annoying. Nonetheless, it’s still an impressive piece of work, and I’d say it’s a must-listen for Radiohead fans.
Random Start: Radiohead, “Pyramid Song”
It’s a bit early for Random Start, but when your brain wakes up ahead of your body and busies itself thinking about the things you need to do that day, sometimes it’s better to drag your body out of bed and do those things.
Also: If this list had extended to fifteen songs instead of just ten eleven, “Pyramid Song” would be on it.
Random Start: Radiohead, “The National Anthem”
Based on my Twitter & Facebook feeds, I know four people who were at the Radiohead show in Austin last night. And as I saw pictures posted from the show I hated each and every one of them turned green with envy.
Kid A is my favorite record of all-time. Buy it here.
Random Start: Radiohead, “Creep” (Acoustic)
This version is a true testament to the beauty and power of this song. It’s stripped down to it’s simplest and purest form and it’s just as (if not more) powerful than the album version on Pablo Honey. The scary thing is that as moving as this song is, Radiohead is so damn good they’ve probably got ~20 songs I’d rather hear this way.
Buy the My Iron Lung EP here.
Random Start: Radiohead, “Go To Sleep”
You can’t really go wrong with Radiohead on a rainy morning.
Buy the “Go To Sleep” (single) here. The song “Gagging Order” is an incredible b-side.
Random Start: Radiohead, “Pop Is Dead”
Take a look at the ad surrounding this video on YouTube, watch the advertising pre-roll courtesy of Vevo (mine was for a Britney Spears something or other), and have a heaping plate of irony with your morning coffee.
Radiohead released “Pop Is Dead” as a non-album single back in 1993.
You can buy it here.
Random Start: Thom Yorke, “Atoms For Peace”
Thom Yorke’s melody in the chorus of this track from his solo record is one that gets stuck in my head for weeks at a time, which means I’ll be singing falsetto (really poorly) in the shower until the first week of August.
Since I’m a massive Radiohead fan, OCWeekly asked me to list my Top 10 songs of theirs. Since I can’t count (apparently), I gave them 11.
Random Start: Radiohead, “Everything In Its Right Place”
I’m of the opinion that the sound of those first five notes is one of the most comforting sounds ever created.
Five notes. Played in a single second. And I’m instantly in a better place.
