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.

Love,
Dr Mike

Katie and I also zoom out into the...

Hola from the middle of America, as I am making my way back after leaving S Padre, TX, this past Monday night. If all goes well, I'll be sleeping in my own bed tonight. Wish me luck! Here is what went down this week: Newsletters: Zone 2 Cardio for Lifting Meatheads is Dead....do this instead: Why Zone 2 cardio barely moves the needle for lifters — and how replacing it with Zone 3 and smart VO₂ max intervals can dramatically boost your strength, endurance, and recovery.
