My name is Brian; it means “to rot.” Dad, assembler. Bad attitude, terrible posture. Minneapolish, by way of Rockford, IL. my opinions are your own.

I really wasn’t trying to get my hopes up for the new Phoebe Bridgers album, but if I did it wouldn’t matter because it’s incredible. Mike fucking Kinsella on guitar for “Bobby” are you kidding me?!?

I did the damn thing today. I now have the right to complain about anyone who might win that I didn’t vote for. Everyone on the ballot is crazy, but I’m glad you’re crazy enough to try something, actually. We learn as we go - hopefully we’re paying attention as well.

My 40th birthday is in less than two weeks. Within that time, I just may be driving a Chevy pickup truck to work, and putting a Boss DS-1 on my pedalboard. I’m about to be so norm-core that your head will spin.

My band is playing in St. Paul tonight (a Thursday) and I’m excited, but also a little worried I might dose off before our set because we’re playing last. This is [almost] 40.

As an admitted @cbbworld.bsky.social fanatic, I mourn the years that I’ve lost up until the point last week when I purchased the Bajillion Dollar Propertie$ series on Apple TV for less that the price of a $33 cup of coffee. And now my wife is hooked, and watching the show without me! 😂😭

Not me spiraling trying to fix a problem that really shouldn’t be my problem, but I’m trying to not be a bad person because of divorce and shit. I need a fucking break from my brain man.

I know this is a me problem, but if anyone gets a burger from Culver’s that isn’t the Colby Jack Pub Burger (while available), I’m gonna have trust issues with them.

Not to brag, but at my band’s show last night, someone told me I was very handsome. I responded to him with “Thank you so much!” He added me on IG by the time we finished our set.

I miss playing guitar. It’s been several weeks since I’ve picked one up (besides just moving them around). Someone want to remind me to play tonight around 6 or 7pm (CDT)?

I’m sure I could google this, but fuck that; did we ever get an explanation as to why the hell Fred Savage’s character would eat peanut butter and onion sandwiches in the cinematic classic Little Monsters?
