I’ve decided to set up a newsletter. In it I will send out a weekly email each weekend which contains a short selection of the stuff I’m working on, thinking about and reading. If you enjoy the stuff I’m writing here but don’t check it every day (gasp!) then this might be fun for you. There are a few weekly email newsletters that I get and read regularly and really enjoy. The format is a bit anachronistic, but it’s also weirdly personal and intimate I think. My friend Jace Clayton sends out sporadic newsletters about his art, music and writing activities and alluded to this in a recent edition, that in the age of social media maybe a return to the comparatively more private space of email is interesting. I agree, so will use the newsletter to remind people of things they’ve missed or that are coming up but also to speak a little differently in private. I might end up replacing one of the weekly posts with the newsletter instead. But before I do, I need some addresses to send emails to. I will never ever share your address with anyone or send you emails more than once a week. I’ve made a little box in the sidebar of the blog to the right where you can join, and you can also sign up via this link.
In honor of it being Sunday morning here in Berlin, I am listening to this, a great exercise in subtle, minimal and carefully modulated acid house by the wonderfully named DJ Boring.
