On Sunday I had a great time spinning some favourite songs and chatting with my friend Dario Adamic for his program on Radio Bandito! The theme of the episode was modes of transportation, and Dario’s set featured bands and songs featuring various modes of transit. Looking back over your music and creative career can be a daunting thing, but it also made me remember how lucky I am to have had so many wild adventures playing in bands and releasing records over the years. Also of note: the music that really inspired you in the beginning of your journey has much more staying power than you might think.
Here’s a list of songs I played, and you can hear the whole show by visiting the archive here: https://www.radiobandito.it/podcast/achtung-banditen-36/
Fugazi – Public Witness Program
False Prophets – Somebody React
Rudimentary Peni – Nothing But a Nightmare

This time of year can be brutal for a lot of us, and with all of the added stressors this year I can’t emphasize enough the imperative need to give your self time to unplug, get some fresh air, and a bit of exercise. Whenever the leaves start to change I tend to rock some 60s and 70s folk, and made this little Spotify playlist in case you need a different kind of soundtrack. Read More
There are these chance encounters you have that inevitably will alter the course of your entire life. When they happen they aren’t so apparent; just seemingly accidental occurrences in our otherwise unremarkable days. For me, meeting Kyle Palmer was one of these life-altering events, leading to a friendship that would span over twenty years and lead me on some of the wildest, funniest, and sometimes life-threatening experiences I’ve ever had. There is not a single person on this planet that is or was anything like Kyle. You’ve never truly lived unless you’ve rode as his passenger in a vehicle, flying down the freeway at impossible speeds, possibly seeing your existence flash before you like a super-8 movie as part of your soul leaves your body and is now looking down at you. Something like that. He was simultaneously the Ace of Spades and the Joker in the Pack. Read More

Recently I’ve seen a lot of my friends going through some rather difficult times in the world of love, and it inspired me to make this playlist of the punk songs that have carried me through a lot of similar heavy times. <3 [rh] 04.2019
Winter is an easy time to get depressed, particularly in a city like Berlin where you’re basically in an ice wind cave for several weeks. During these times I reminisce about summer, and particularly the summers of 1993 and 1994. Music drove so much of my development back then, and I had parallel discoveries with hip hop and punk simultaneously. This is a mixtape of my favorite hip hop tracks from this particular time period.
