*some personal news*
I'm doing a jazz thing again with a crew I've always admired.
This isn't, like, my grand return to the music media world. This is about me trying to be a better listener and DC citizen. So if you have a story about the music happening here, I'm all ears.

Wrote about 'Eat. Race. Win.' and it published while I was eating for and racing in the @usacycling Amateur National Championship Road Race. (I did not win.)
Review: The novelty of "Eat. Race. Win." is that we get to see the Tour de France through the eyes of the team chef tasked to feed the hungry participants who eat three times what normal people do. n.pr/2LWzg02

LCD 'Sound of Silver' is on shuffle at this Starbucks in Manhattan (I know, but free wifi tho) which seems appropriate for New York c. 2017
