    dear jerks is/was an experiential, bi-coastal music blog started with my longtime friend Kyle Heenk in 2012. The idea is/was to write about music the way we talk to each other about it: random experiences, (hopefully) funny observations, and finding quirks in its history and surrounding culture.
