So Long and Thanks for all the Beats @tonythaxton

Yesterday Tony Thaxton, the drummer for my favorite band Motion City Soundtrack, announced that he was quitting the band. I was shocked, but do understand how the constant touring could get old. The above video was his last ever performance in Manila. I was lucky enough to see his final performance in the US last November. Obviously I don’t know Tony personally, but I have been reading his blog and following him on Twitter for years, so it almost feels like I know him. I even root for the Bears a little knowing that Tony is a big Bears fan.

Thanks for the beats man.
