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.

Now Playing: The Night Marchers, “And I Keep Holding On”
This track popped up on shuffle following today’s Random Start and reminded me that: a) See You In Magic is an outstanding record that I am going to have to listen to all day today, b) John Reis is a wizard, c) I miss Hot Snakes.
Buy See You In Magic here.
I got an email this morning about this Irish singer/songwriter and I’ve had his new album playing on repeat ever since. If you like Bon Iver, S. Carey, or Tallest Man On Earth I think you’ll probably love James’ work. It has a very nice depth to it; some tracks are dark and brooding, some are uplifting, and some are a fantastic blend of the two.
