Cast photo, circa 2000-2001. The young stunna surrounded by girls in the bottom left is yours truly, terrified to ask any of them out. While I'm constantly in my teenage music tastes, I rarely think about high school itself. Nothing terribly traumatic…

Give the Punk Drummer Some

Published: August 19, 2024 14:16

When drumming, always wear protection. Where were you when you heard about emo revival?  In 2009, I was asked to appear on a panel about the "future of radio" at MACROCK in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Back then, I was 26, just a few years into my public radio…
