What’re You Listening To?
Note: I’m resharing a post from this same weekend last year. It has only been mildly updated. In a world that’s gone sideways, celebrating life events has become much more essential. I also will take any chance I get to talk up John Hiatt a...
For The Record- 19.Sept.2026

Discussion: What're You Listening To?

Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
I help people find their new favorite songs. I also do interviews, record reviews, and host a thriving community of music fans.
Documentarian of the absurd. 2x a week, I'll publish observational humor, idiot philosophy, cultural analysis, and film/TV/books/music reviews. Notes are mostly shitposts, random thoughts, and pics of cooking, hiking, and my dog.
So many writers struggle with the actual act of writing. In 2021, I launched my Substack "To Write with Wild Abandon" to talk about our writerly fears along with strategies to overcome them. For me, it comes down to one thing: Writing Should Be Fun!
Curator of record-mendation newsletter The Wax Museum. Posting vinyl deals on x.com/vinylonsale and running vinyl auctions at whatnot.com/user/thewaxmuseum
