I started sharing, 40 years on, in full, my teenage diary from pre-digital 1984. In 1985 I went interrailing. And other writings: poems, songs, and other personal things I wish to write. To you. Thanks for subscribing.
My pal Seb Merrick was a remarkably cultured teenager in 1984 - and he kept detailed diaries to prove this! Each week he provides further evidence of how he grew up to be a music promoter of exquisite talent from around the globe.
I write on collective consciousness, non-duality, archetypal astrology, inner and outer travels as well as music, art, lit, and soul. Respectfully irreverent, author of Truth Seeker.
I met Erin at Burning Man years ago - I thought the festival awful but she was great, and nothing since has changed my opinion. Erin's written 3 fine books on her travels as a spiritual pilgrim in India and her Substack is never dull. If I ever need an astrological chart its to Ms Reese I will turn!
Record Shop Stories is a lovingly produced newsletter about independent record stores – the people who run them, the people who cherish them, and the stories that live behind the counter.
Rich Headland is even more obsessed with record shops than me... check his blog for in-depth profiles of independent traders.
