With Thanksgiving now less than two weeks away, I figured it was about time to repost my tried and true recipe for brined and roasted turkey. So what if I ganked the original recipe from the amazing Alton Brown a few years ago. I’ve made enough delicious changes that it really feels like mine [...]

Pop Punk Junk Vol. 7
We’ve had members of both New Found Glory and Good Luck crash on our floor/couch in the past. Funny how things like that work out, huh? The After School Special song and The Heartdrops song are two of my wife’s faves from way back in the day. I’ve gotta agree.

Pop Punk Junk Vol. 6
Here’s the sixth in this series but first since the site’s been revamped and first is quite some time. The most obscure track here is probably Lounge’s “Danbury.” Makes me wonder what ever happened to these guys.

Pop Punk Junk Vol. 5
Number 5 of the Pop Punk Junk series is awesome. Sicko, The Ergs!, my favorite Descendents song, and even the often overlooked Hagfish, how could you go wrong? I remember when Amy bought the Hagfish record on vinyl at Missing Link Records in Indianapolis back in ’98. That store (like so many other great [...]
Pop Punk Junk Vol. 4
Here’s the fourth installment of this silly mega compilation I’m putting together. For some reason whenever I listen to Cletus, I think of Andy Pishko. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Pop Punk Junk Vol. 3
More pop punk than you can shake a stick at. From the short-lived Sludgeworth to current stuff that borders on mall-punk, pop punk comes in many different flavors. Consider this a sampler platter.

Seven Years And Counting…
Seven years ago today I married my beautiful wife Amy on a sunny day in St. Marys, PA. Seems like we were just kids back then. Even though we were [Totally] in love, it’s sometimes hard to believe that she went for it when I popped the [Question] considering I think it was a [Pretty [...]
Pop Punk Junk Vol. 2
So here’s round two of what might be a never ending stream of pop punk coming out of my speakers. I wasn’t going to include the China Drum song this early in the series, but a message from my guy Jeff (of the great Rocket Fuel podcast) the other day about the band [...]
Pop Punk Junk Vol. 1
My new daughter, Teagan Reese, was born a week ago today and that day also happened to be exactly 4 years from my first post on this blog. During the 4 years that CYSTSFTS has been in existence, I’ve made my affinity for pop punk no secret. It’s the music I grew up [...]
