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.
Founder and Director of the Musical Form Institute. The Institute administers the Certificate of Embodied Production and Certified Significant Form.
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!
