Christian is hilarious, thoughtful, and effusive in the way that he listens to new music. While he doesn't pretend to detach from his inner cynic, he's open to exploring, and sharing new music from myriad genres with an enthusiasm that I have often found lacking in my own listening. New tunes. Funny shit. Interesting ideas. Go subscribe, you dolt.
Joe Pernice is one of my favorite songwriters, and also one of my favorite singers. He traffics in the sad songs telling me terrible things mold that I tend to find myself lurking in so often. Not only is Joe a talented singer, songwriter and producer, he's a world class writer as well. At Four Track Substack he listens back through old demos and writes about the stories behind the songs. Don't miss it.
Matt Berenson is a lover of the secret star. His writing on the overlooked musical visionaries of our time provides context and nuance to some of the great underground artists, both long gone and still working today.
