Hello, friend.
My name is Jason and I live in Buffalo, NY with my wife and three kids. I mainly blog about music and our dueling digital/analog selves. Sometimes family stuff, hockey, and photography. Learn More →

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Moonshine Freeze" by This Is the Kit →
What's a song you'd want to hear while watching the sunrise?
As the change sets in We are separate As the game begins We are separate
Some strings slackening Others giving in Change sets in
This is the natural order of things
One of my absolute favorite alt folk artists. Her and Adrianne Lenker are the masters of words and quirky folk.

What's a song you associate with your favorite photograph?
My absolute favorite picture is one we took on vacation in South Carolina when all three kids were under 5. We tried to get a nice picture of my wife and the kids sitting on the big exposed root of the Angel Oak Tree in Charleston... the wife held the twins in her arms and the oldest was sitting on the root right in front of her.
Just as I was about to snap the picture, the twins started wiggling and screaming... and my oldest just had an absolute look of disgust and rolling their eyes at the twins. My wife smiling and trying to rein it all in... all caught on film. Just a perfect example of the chaos of having 3 kids a total of 13 months apart... and what a hero she is!
Now they are all going off to college this year and with that, the quiet. Going to be so weird.
