Listen Here #23: Watch This Space
Hi friends,
Long time no hear :)
Summer is thick and heavy in New Orleans. I’m getting ready to move to New York, and it’s a very nuanced, bittersweet process. This newsletter hiatus is going to last for another month or so, and then we’ll genuinely be back! I have ideas and thoughts and plans and oh, so many songs to share.
I’m also seriously considering divesting from Spotify in all ways. We’ve been knowing it was bad. But it was convenient. Will a move away, a drop in a bucket make a difference? Not to the Daniel Eks of the world. But it might make a difference to me (I mean, here I am on Buttondown instead of Substack), and maybe to you. Taking small ideologically-based actions leads to greater comfort in taking bigger ideologically-based actions. Tolerating a little discomfort is a hassle… but it’s also preparation.
In the meantime, let me leave you with a youtube link to this subtly propulsive beaut of a song from British concept-rock band Public Service Broadcasting, with vocals by This Is The Kit: “The South Atlantic.”
