I grew up in Salt Lake City- no I do not have multiple wives. My family and I moved to Northern Colorado three years ago because it's awesome. We hand picked this area because how can you not LOVE living here? I love to bike and pedal all along the Poudre Trail almost daily. When I can't ride, I love to hike, snowshoe and do yoga- many times all at once. I love reading anything by Daniel Woodrell and Neil Gaiman and watching Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Homeland. Seinfeld is the greatest show ever. Ever. If I had to choose ONE band to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be the Black Crowes but I love a wide range of music, including a serious affinity for metal of all genres. I’d now like you to send me your bio. It’s only fair.

New Music Picks (Week Of 2-4-14)
It's been a long damn time since I've posted one of these. The real question is, how have you chosen what music to listen to without it? Don't answer that. It doesn't matter. Things are back as they should be. As always, I'll highlight a few records I dig then I'll list some more I like but am too lazy to write about...
Martin Luther King Jr.
He made the world a better place. He showed bravery in the face of hatred and ignorance and he died for it. His legacy and impact will never die. We ALL owe him gratitude for his continued effect on the world we all live in.
New Music Picks (week of 1/14/14)
First New Music Tuesday post of the year and there's some cool stuff already. As always, I encourage you to post comments about what you are digging. You won't though. You never do. This is a pretty one-sided bloglationship we have. I don't JUST listen to rock/metal and these lists reflect that...
Your Hot Tub Rash Is Disgusting (Science Corner)
As a general rule I steer clear of public hot tubs based solely on the fact that half-naked strangers have been sitting (at best) in luke warm water. You don't get to bitch about skin discomfort after hopping out of the public hot tub. The...
Great News for Stalkers! [Science Corner] (Audio)
Prepare to be scienced. Batten down your Science Hatches. I am so going to science you right now.
In this edition of Science Corner I discuss a great new app for stalkers and a great new app for slouchers. You should get both if you're a slouchy stalker...
Knock It Off, Dummies (Leaving Meth As A Tip Edition)
My favorite new feature on the show is something I like to call 'Knock It Off Dummies.' Basically I tell you about someone doing something dumb....and then I say...knock it off dummies.
New Zealand Poop Cake (Audio)
Happy New Year, ma man. I haven't been blogging at all throughout the holidays and it's been pretty fantastic. I had planned on resuming the writing on Monday but I wanted my first post of 2014 to mean something you know? I wanted to write about something packed with profundity...
Queens Of The Stone Age To Appear On Austin City Limits (Video)
Hey. I love Queens Of The Stone Age. Their latest record 'Like Clockwork' is brilliant and will be making an appearance on my top albums of 2013 list (which I hope to actually compile sometime before 2016). I'm sure that's what they were aiming for when they made it...
The Most Recorded Christmas Songs
I have a rule about Christmas music and it's pretty simple: I won't listen to your Christmas music unless you're dead and The Charlie Brown Christmas album is the greatest holiday album ever. EVER. I've discussed it before as well as my allowance of Tony Bennett's Christmas music to be included in my playlist because he is super old and still incedibly cool.

This Is How A Shark Will Kill You (Science Corner)
I'm not afraid of sharks at all when I'm on dry land. Much like my fearlessness when it comes to bears whilst frolicking in the ocean. Oh, how i Like to frolic in the ocean. In fact, I like to stand just out of reach and mock the sharks just to prove I'm not afraid...
Google Is Assembling A Robot Army – Science Corner (Video)
Remember when Google was the fresh new company started by dudes in a garage and they were super awesome? Well, they're evil now. It was bound to happen. I mean, once all of that money starts piling up around you, evil becomes easier and easier to propagate...
Antibacterial Soap Is Bunk. George Carlin Was Right.
I can't post the video clip here because we may get sued, plus your delicate sensibilities may be damaged. I am not a fan of stand up comedy in general because, like most things, most comedians are mediocre and not worth my valuable time. I'm...
