Featured article: Shmedly

Ryan Maynes, also known as "Shmedly" or "Shmed", was a musician. He was perhaps best-known for his work with the pop band Arlo.

He started playing piano at the age of three, and gave himself the name "Shmedly" at age thirteen because "there were too many Ryans around." Before working with Weezer, he performed with the bands Floor 13, Date with Dizzy, Holliston Stops, Northern Lights, and The Ben Vaughn Desert Classic. In 2002, he was briefly recruited as a session keyboardist for Weezer, and can be heard on various tracks from the recording sessions for the band's intended fifth album.

Maynes also played piano and celesta on the Space Twins' 2003 album The End of Imagining, and the Ozma album Spending Time on the Borderline, also released in 2003. He also played in the band Yes Dear after the departure of Ryen Slegr and Jose Galvez.
