Almost a week into the Kickstarter campaign and we’re nearly $6700 funded! That’s crazy. Thank you so much to everyone who’s donated. If not, I’ll include a convenient link below. Sorry for the radio silence last week but I was super busy trying to wrangle a
Less than a week to go until the Kickstarter for WAYPOINT! Holy cats, that’s soon. Hopefully it’ll be the first of many. Still, there’s nothing like the first time, huh? In the meantime, I’m doing what I can to drum up publicity and shore up everything
Happy July 4! Just a reminder: a country is not its government and a government does not speak for everyone in its country. Celebrate the helpers and the people doing good things. Sony announced this past week that they’re discontinuing production of physical discs for Playstation games. I’ve
It’s the middle of the year! Somehow. In lieu of talking about the upcoming Kickstarter (July 14!) since I’m booked on a bunch of podcasts to do just that, I’m gonna give you all a quick rundown of my fave music from this year to date. Lotta
Hey everyone! Actual Kickstarter update this week! We go live on July 14! That’s less than a month from now! I need people to spread the word. And the word is, “Panic.” Ha! Little comic book movie reference there for the sharp-eyed readers in the audience. At any

I just emerged from an intensive crunch session to get out the next cover story for Decibel Magazine. Normally I don’t like to do things that way, but I had to perform a number of interviews and their schedules didn’t allow me to pull everything together until a
I watched the season three finale of The Strain last night and I’m still really angry about it. I know, it’s very relevant to have strong feelings on a mostly-forgotten four season show on FX from 10 years ago. But this is my newsletter. I’m going
There was a tweet going around a little while ago that said something to the effect of “With AI, everybody’s a writer.” I know we’re all sick of hearing about AGI – both its supposed miracles according to corporate PR and its very clear dangers according to everybody else
Let’s talk about taste, and how I have it and most people don’t. This is a bold statement, I know. You need to make bold statements to get attention. I don’t actually think there’s such a thing as “good taste” or “bad taste.” Everybody has their
Amidst some truly stupid music articles getting published – a New York Times “greatest American songwriter” list that omitted Dave Mustaine and a boneheaded Jacobin piece about rockism vs. poptimism that hinged its argument on the idea that The Strokes rock any harder than white bread soaked in skim milk – a
