Thanks to @rosyoverdrive.bsky.social for dubbing "Each Dot and Each Line" by Shredded Sun the no. 25 best album of 2023! We appreciate the support, they seem to be one of the few music blogs left that listens to all submissions and supports bands without label/publicist support.

this is an excellent piece "We are all hurtling, inevitably, toward that one last transition, across the one true binary, the one between life and death. And that binary is the true source of all our regrets, and our joy, too. Regret exists because we all get just one life."

For a long time I’ve been thinking about why we are so terrified a child will regret a gender transition. This essay ended up being not just about gender but about all of our identities, how they shape us and, crucially, how we shape ourselves. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/01/o...

I have complicated feelings about the idea of being a "professional" artist. I would love to just make art and not have to have another job, but there's also something to be said for being a committed amateur/hobbyist and keeping your art separate from how you pay your bills.

Don't give up your day job, health insurance and 401(k), folks. Nearly every single writer you've heard of had a day job until their writing careers took off - and some of them kept their days jobs after that too, because they liked them, or they knew pro publishing is a fickle beast. Don't starve!
