There is a Twitter account called @YesYoureRacist. My favorite response was ...

Where we talk about music, politics, and random encounters. Saturday, May 18, 2013. Of Malcolm X and Men. May 19 is Malcolm X Day.

Malcolm X is truly one of the most fascinating and inspiring human beings to have ever graced us mere with mortals with his presence here on earth. Posted by Robb Johannes.

Where we talk about music, politics, and random encounters. Saturday, April 05, 2014. Kurt Cobain Was My Elvis.

In April 2011, on the last day of tracking Paint's Where We Are Today. Record, producer Ian Smith and I went to see the Pixies. Norman Blake from Teenage Fanclub. Confiding in him that at the end of the tour he was going to break up the Pixies.

Where we talk about music, politics, and random encounters. Tuesday, March 26, 2013. So, tell us about this punk thing. Shaped me in ways that life's traditional influencers did not.

Over the past two years, I've been working on archiving and update all of our setlists for the Tour. On an even more geeky note,...

Where we talk about music, politics, and random encounters. Tuesday, December 18, 2012.
