It's so easy to put music out that it's difficult to sift through stuff that I don't like to find stuff I do like.

I'm always asking friends what new music they're into, and I love showing people new talented artists.

I've learned some of the greatest life lessons from growing up in the skate and punk rock communities.

Ideally, each week, I'd like to have rad, intelligent, creative, funny guests with different takes on the world of music. I will ask them all what their favorite blink-182 song is, and what they like best about me as a person.

Music is life. Music defines peoples' experience on this planet. Name one time in your life that wasn't punctuated by the music you listened to at the time. When people are down, they listen to music that commiserates that emotion. When people are amped up, they listen to more upbeat, loud songs.
