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

Happy Sunday! Hope your weekend’s going well. Your fave nerd took the day off yesterday, packed up Black Sunshine, and made the two-hour drive north to Mille Lacs for some kiteboarding at “The Gathering” kite event. The wind was light—light enough that I got a solid NEAT workout from hiking 35 minutes back through the water with all my gear when it died off. Haha. Still managed to log 73 km and snag the #2 spot on the leaderboard. It was a blast, and, as much as gym training matters,...

Happy Friday! Huge thanks to everyone that kicked me a reply on my newsletter for coaches and trainers yesterday. See it HERE if you missed it. Today is a bit off topic but it is an important subject so I wanted to kick it out to you all. I recently had the pleasure of joining Dr. Ayla Wolf on The Concussion Recovery Podcast for a deep dive, two-part series on what really happens to the brain and body after a concussion and how to recover smarter. We covered everything from alternative brain...

FREEDOM!(Insert bald eagle screech and the smell of singed leg hair from backyard fireworks gone sideways.) I hope your July 4th was lit—both figuratively and literally—with enough fireworks to alarm the neighborhood HOA and enough cheap beer to make your ancestors weep. Picture it now: sun’s out, thighs out, nut-huggers tight, and Four-Finger Freddy lighting bottle rockets with the one good hand he's got left. Now that we’ve cleansed the soul with grilled meats and questionable decisions,...
