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

EPG — esterified propoxylated glycerol — the mysterious “fat-but-not-fat” substance that Instagram doom prophets swear will dissolve your vitamins, kneecap your HDL, steal your firstborn, and possibly open a small shimmering...

Hola from Austin TX where it’s just me, your favorite nerd, and Black Sunshine (the Lexus GX460) ripping 1,676 miles back to frozen-face Minnesota like two caffeine-addicted bandits fleeing the scene of a metabolic crime as we head out tomorrow afternoon for Weatherford TX. Jodie yeeted herself onto a plane Friday to help her family,so now it’s just me, the open road, and an SUV full of kiteboarding gear that smells faintly of ocean, neoprene, and poor decisions. And here’s the thing nobody...

Hola from my brief stint here in Austin TX and today I have a great one for you! On this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good buddy and lab-coat-wearing performance wizard, Dr. Andrew Koutnik.
