The Silence Kit
This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.

Killer Mike - Reagan
As we wind down til oblivion (or 2013—whichever comes first), I will continue to try to keep a smile on my face. Thank you KILLER MIKE for putting out FUN RAP MUSIC in 2012. HOLLER
Deftones - Tempest
Deftones can do no wrong. The most prolific and forward-thinking alt-metal band of the past 15 years continues to make brilliant records.
Jahbreaker Keeps the Scene Irie
Hilarious reggae version “Boxcar” by ’90s punk legends Jawbreaker.
Who knows which came first, the idea for a reggae-version of the Bay Area anthem— or the realization that the name Jahbreaker is too good to pass up.
Bad Scene, Everyone’s Fault = Bad Weed, Dealer’s Fault … BRILLIANT!
Stay crazy forever.
Sports Sidenote: How could something so natural looking go so horribly wrong?
Titus Andronicus - “Still Life with Hot Deuce and Silver Platter”
The band ballsy enough to make a punk rock Civil War-era concept record does it again. This time their on their new Springsteen-meets-Jello Biafra power pop record “Local Business” they choose to name track 2 after what sounds like quite the painting.
One of the most important bands in [punk] rock is back with another winner—cheers Titus Andronicus, we’ll be drinking to that.
No Age - “Glitter” on PitchforkTV
The LA experimental punk duo (live they’re a three-piece) bring the thunder in this HiDef pop-meets-noise jam. Props to Pitchfork for putting out a series of amazing/high quality videos featuring No Age.
Here’s another personal favorite, “It’s like The Shining meets Dirty Dancing: nobody puts Johnny in a corner”:
