Zero Platoon - Benjamin Lieber - Head North - Marigold - Visual Artist
A Berger Joint with Mike Henneberger
It's impossible to capture the depth of Benjamin even with an hour. This 50 minutes is cut down from the two-hour conversation we had many months ago (time that I spent being intimidated and overwhelmed by the idea of cutting this down while still showing how brilliant this guy is). Some of you may know him as the drummer of Head North, or maybe you've seen him as the touring drummer of one of your favorite bands. Or perhaps you've heard his solo material as Marigold. You might not even know that HIS visual art is some of your favorite, since he's designed album covers and visually crazy...

Rock Bottom at the Renaissance - Ch. 2 - "Tortures of the Damned" by Bayside
A Berger Joint with Mike Henneberger
This should go without saying, but don't listen to Ch. 2 without listening to "Introduction" and "Ch. 1 - '23' by Jimmy Eat World." I'm sharing this chapter and one or two more, because my creativity and maybe a little entertainment are all I really have to offer during this weird time that the world is going through (as of writing this, I'm referring to the world shutting down because of Coronavirus). This is the second chapter of my book "Rock Bottom at the Renaissance: An Emo Kid's Journey Through Falling In and Out of Love In and With New York City," and it's probably 50% of what kept me...

Rock Bottom at the Renaissance - Introduction
A Berger Joint with Mike Henneberger
Here's the intro to Rock Bottom at the Renaissance: An Emo Kid's Journey Through Falling In and Out of Love In and With New York City, a memoir about the lowest low of my depression & anxiety.

info_outlineThis should go without saying, but don't listen to Ch. 2 without listening to "Introduction" and "Ch. 1 - '23' by Jimmy Eat World."
I'm sharing this chapter and one or two more, because my creativity and maybe a little entertainment are all I really have to offer during this weird time that the world is going through (as of writing this, I'm referring to the world shutting down because of Coronavirus).
This is the second chapter of my book "Rock Bottom at the Renaissance: An Emo Kid's Journey Through Falling In and Out of Love In and With New York City," and it's probably 50% of what kept me from releasing this book years ago. It's embarrassing and mentions an event in my life that is pretty shameful. BUT...it took those years for me to work on my mental health, and to eventually feel far enough removed from the person in this book, to no longer feel like this isn't a story I can tell.
And if it helps just one person see that we are not defined by our mistakes, and we don't have to be defeated by our guilt or shame, then it's more than worth it.
It's soundtracked by one of my favorite bands of all time, Bayside. I've seen that band more than any other, and I've been following them since 2003, because their music has achieved that goal that I'm hoping this chapter and this book will. It has shown me that I'm not alone in the things that trouble me or haunt me. And over the years, they have shown me that it's possible to grow and move forward.
You can get the book, ebook, or audiobook two months before it's released at www.RockBottomBook.com.

It's about how mental illness can make love and life harder than they need to be, and how the right bands and right songs can sometimes make things a little easier."
