HEARING DOUBLE: Since those days, I’ve largely put down a guitar and have begun looking for a future. That self-deprecating child became a self-deprecating college graduate, unsure of what to look for in life. Tom Petty’s music isn’t as present in my life as it used to be, but I still find wisdom whenever I spin Damn the Torpedoes. After all of these years, it’s still one of my Holy Bibles, where there’s still some room for the losers to win, where you don’t have to be a refugee.
THE SOCKET: Over a year ago, my friend Tucker embarked on a great crusade - "to rank every game ever made from best to worst" [sic]. That was the day he created The Socket - a series of reviews that pits videogames against one another in the form of a list. The Socket the project of a madman - and I was allowed to help!
HEARING DOUBLE: Two years and two albums later, Kinoko Teikoku feel… stagnant. The Tokyo shoegazers signed to a major label and are poised for crossover success, breaking into the Oricon Charts and sneaking into Spotify samplers.
