Wow, new stuff from KSE gives me metal goosebumps. I’ve been a huge fan of these guys all the way back to their first album in 2000. Their live shows are always amazing.

The last time I saw them, Adam D came out and said, “Wow, Minneapolis, this is an amazing new venue and we are here to take a huge sonic shit on it” Hahaha. Amazing dudes, to boot.

Stoked for the entire album and amazing tour with Kublai Khan TX, Fit For a King and Frozen Soul. It kicks off on March 5 in Nashville and runs through April 12 in Portland, Maine.

Love,
Dr Mike

Your favorite nerd here coming at you from Weatherford TX where I am hanging out with my coach Adam Glass and his wife Ashely. I am currently levitating three inches off my chair because holy hell… Dan Garner — yes, that Dan Garner — dropped some words that hit me straight in my surgically repaired heart. Here’s what he wrote: “My buddy Mike T. Nelson has this massive library of bite-sized videos on physiology, performance, and metabolism stuff. Each one is like 5-10 minutes. All ridiculously...

Hola my fellow metabolic misfit — Yesterday I sent that email about surviving road-trip nutrition chaos with protein bars instead of gas-station despair… …and immediately someone lobbed this spicy meatball into my inbox: “What are your thoughts on the EPG in it?” Ah yes.
