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.

I’m thankful and honored to have been able to be a part of Michael Clair’s Blogathon to raise money for Doctors Without Borders for the second year in a row.
My guest piece came out much better than I could have hoped, thanks to little kids being unintentionally hilarious and baseball being the greatest game on the planet. I hope you enjoy it.

Oh, hey look. It’s a mug. A mug with a Golf Joke™ on it. And like most golf jokes it’s an awful one*. But beyond being awful, the punch line is a flat-out lie.
In an effort to prove just how much of lie it is, I’ve decided to compile a list of four-letter words that weren’t taken, Mr. Golf Joke™ Loving Mug Maker.
This is that list.
*this list is also awful
Ian’s back from his magical Italian vacation, so we decided to welcome him home by diving headfirst into a pile of listener emails, talk of the based balls, the brief dissection of Wandy Rodriguez’s name, and some awesome Australian psych-rock.
Have a listen.
Ladies and gentlebeasts, we proudly present…

Hey, I put something gross in my face (again) and wrote about it for OC Weekly.

This is my contribution to this week’s print edition of the OC Weekly.
Has this epidemic spread to your city?

In this week’s 3hree Things, I do some online holiday shopping for the stereotypical tasteless, dirt-dicked, middle-aged goon from Orange County.

Who knew that MANLINESS came in a bottle?
This week’s 3hree Things is an in-depth look at The Holy Trinity of Low-End Cologne.
Musk up. Or get busy dyin’.
