If you’ve been listening to Rolling with Scissors for a while, you know I like to feature artists who go deeper than the charts—artists who shape a mood, break form, and aren’t afraid to experiment with sound and silence. That’s why I’m excited to say that we’ll be featuring the new Bon Iver album, SABLE, … Read more
I didn’t know a damn thing about Oceans of Slumber before I played them on the show last night. They’d been hanging around the edges of my radar, but I’d never really taken the time to dive in. Then I hit play… and that voice came through—and everything stopped. I found myself asking, “Who is … Read more
What Happens If We Erase DEI? When I was in school, I had an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) every single year. From elementary through high school, it was the thing that kept me from getting completely lost in the system. Without it, I would’ve been written off like so many other disabled students—quietly pushed to … Read more
It’s Monday. I’m in the studio recording tonight’s Rolling with Scissors — and it just so happens to be Christopher Walken’s birthday. Which somehow feels fitting. There’s something about his strange rhythm, his unpredictability, that matches the emotional shape of this week’s lineup: a little wild, a little eerie, and full of tension and release. … Read more
This morning I went out for a drive—not to clear my head, but to get a damn donut. That’s it. A little sugar. A little music. A few minutes to feel human again. But like most days lately, the world decided to throw me a few reminders I didn’t ask for. While I was out, … Read more
It’s been quiet here lately—not because I’ve had nothing to say, but because life has been making a lot of noise in its own way. Not quite a week ago, everything shifted. I won’t get into the details, but I’ve been handed one of those unexpected resets that shakes up your foundation. At 46, I’m … Read more
This week’s Rolling with Scissors comes to you from a brand-new studio space—because, as life tends to do, it threw me a curveball. Last Wednesday, I found out my lease wasn’t being renewed. By Saturday, the new studio was rebuilt and (mostly) functional. Let me repeat that: full teardown, move, and rebuild in three days. … Read more
Social media is weird. And Instagram? Even weirder. I’ve never really understood it. Why do you need an app just to post pictures or images? It’s not like cameras just showed up on phones yesterday. But honestly, I don’t think about it much—because I’m not a visual person. Audio is where I live. So, here’s … Read more
1,290 episodes. Let that sink in for a second. Last night, I did some math (dangerous, I know), and it turns out that the Jeff Beck deep dive I called Episode 338? Yeah, that was actually Episode 1,290. One. Thousand. Two hundred. Ninety. That’s nearly 30 years of broadcasting—so some of you might be wondering, … Read more
Sometimes, the show decides itself. Last week, a friend of the program pointed out that since I did all long sets the previous week—because, let’s be honest, it was the week after the pledge drive, and I didn’t feel like talking—I should flip the script and blast a full punk episode. I liked the idea. … Read more
