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.

productiveouts: The Puig Destroyer Daily, 6/18/2013. All the P.D. news that fits. Yasiel himself listened to “One Man, Five Tools” and deemed it “very good.” More than 14,000 other people have listened to it, too.  We have sweet t-shirts.  We have a Bookface and a Tweeter. Ian answered some questions over at Decibel.  We were mentioned on Yahoo, USA Today, NBC Sports, and elsewhere.   We’re a little behind schedule, but we hope to have the debut EP completed in the next few days. Watch this space, or just refresh the bandcamp site obsessively.  We’re talking to a couple of labels about a physical (vinyl) release. More on this story as it develops.  We continue to be blown away by the amazing response our goofy band is getting. Thank you for listening, supporting, spreading the word, and generally being awesome. Fuckin’ high-five.

Productive Outs - PRODcast 48: Pablo Sandoval's Bulbous Ball-Crushing Bonanza

Even if you’re not into baseball, I’d suggest checking out this week’s PRODcast for the musical guest alone. The ROOMRUNNER record is outstanding.

productiveouts:

We’ve got a show for you. I’ll leave it to you to determine its (relative) goodness. 

We:

  1. Said hello
  2. Read your wonderful emails
  3. Played some jams by the amazing ROOMRUNNER
  4. Had a great chat with James Yasko of Astros County

Discussed some baseball topics, such as:

  1. The art of hitting, feat. Marco Scutaro and Pabo Sandoval
  2. Looking creepy in the clubhouse
  3. The Angels were on a tear there for a week
  4. Sometimes baseball people say shit that sounds stupid. That doesn’t make you smart.

Previewed upcoming stuffs from each of us

And finished with a brief, but heartfelt bye bye from NotJose Mota

THANKS FOR LISTENING!

The Battle of Los Angeles: Week Nine

PLEASE READ IT AND LIKE IT ON FACEBOOK AND TUMBLR OR I WILL DIE SAD AND ALONE.
