I kinda forgot I had one of these. Don’t really have the time or patience to get on here. Find me on twitter or facebook and that might be a better option to find out what I’ve been up to. Or follow Jonathan’s blog closely, and chances are, we’re doing the same stuff!

heavily, heavily, heavily by both. nirvana is the reason a lot of us started to play music. foo fighters are the reason we probably STILL have faith in music. we’ll see you in ireland soon, hopefully!

Check it out, I talk about the inspiration for the newest Swellers single “The Best I Ever Had” here http://bit.ly/maRW7F
from Jonathan Diener of The Swellers:
Wednesday was a pretty incredible day for us. On our drive to San Diego we stopped by the Macbeth Headquarters to get a tour of the building, meet the people who worked there and get some brand new kicks.
We were having a great time trying on our shoes and talking shop with Jimmy, the delightful guy who was hooking us up… then we heard some music in the studio nearby and the door opened. Tom Delonge from Blink 182 was sitting on the couch and we were stoked. We had no idea he would be there and we all got to hang out with him for a bit, talk about Descendents, music and a few fart jokes here and there. The dude still had it, and he was nice as hell.
After meeting Tom, getting shoes and being generally excited in life, we headed to Soma in San Diego to eat at Sombrero in true Blink 182 tradition. Today was definitely good for me.
