Odd Jobs: Relient K’s Matt Hoopes Found New Musical Success With 1981 Inventions Guitar Pedals
Odd Jobs is a new series that takes a look behind the curtain of professional musicians’ secondary careers and side hustles. If Matt Hoopes made his biggest mark on the music industry as the guitarist for pop-punk/Christian rockers Relient K, most people would’ve considered it a successful career. Eight studio albums (plus a pair of Christmas albums and one covers project), a song that you couldn’t escape for a chunk of the mid-2000s, and nearly a quarter-century standing next to singer Matt Thiessen’s curly blond hair is more than most accumulate. But in 2018, Hoopes launched 1981 Inventions, a company based around a single guitar effects pedal that he’d spent years perfecting. The pedal (named the DRV) sold out immediately. It earned rave reviews as a slightly brighter and refined take o...

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Played Only Nickelback Songs to Break Long Losing Streak…But Still Lost
At this point, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are doing literally anything to break their franchise-record losing streak. The team just fired its manager, Joe Maddon, and are willing to do anything to break a 12-game skid that saw them go from leading the AL West 10 games over .500 to being two games under. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so the team decided to play Nickelback and only Nickelback last night in order to break the streak. Every batter on the team, including All-Stars (and all-world if we want to be honest here) Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, came out to Nickelback before their at-bats. However, not even using Nickelback as a slump buster could help Orange County’s baseball team. However, it wasn’t meant to be. The Angels lost again, this time a 1-0 nailbi...
