Newsletter
Particularly Proud of the Goat Horn
This week, the newsletter introduces a format tweak alongside our (un)usual round-up of irresistible recommendations and The Tonearm's recent features. Huzzah!
Gobsmacked by Neil Young's Ghost
This week: primal performances, noise pollution, poetic entanglement, misunderstood media, and demised authors — not to mention all the links and recommendations. This note's for you.
Librarian of the Proverbial Sticks
This week, we're curating with public funds, outwitting prospectors, looping historical memory, practicing effortless action, and waking up early. Plus: a tasteful bonus from M. Sage.
Talking About the Texture Generation
In this issue: academic gamelan, bodysuit Buchla, B.J. Cole's model trains, and so much more. Plus, you'll find the expected rabbit hole-inducing links and recommendations.
What a Wonderful World (sic)
In this issue of Talk Of The Tonearm, we dance among hotel room provocations, merch table conversations, Princely psychedelia, and crops that need tending. Plus: clickable links galore.
Do What Thou Wilt … Except for Stage Diving
This one's packed to the gills, thanks to noises in Miami, Kokopelli's phallus, cosmic prodding, and the death of the guitar. Plus: an extra-heaping dose of savvy recommendations.
Listen to the Flower People
Action packed! This week we're shaking with the Shakers, searching high and low for that flow, enacting improvisational anarchy, and simplifying the modular. Plus: spicy recommendations and attitude.
A Tradition of Aesthetic Hijacking
This week: engaging the détournement machine, the glory days of space art, and famous ALL CAPS rants of history. Plus, lots of clickable links, many wild recommendations, and the unveiling of a simple plan.
Haunting Broadcasts of Mechanical Voices
This week: audio detritus from the Cold War, the nonsense of poetry (and vice versa), and Slovakian gangster music—along with splatterings of links and recommendations.
The Essence Remains Intact
This week: making big things happen in mid-town USA, letting the universe take care of you, the ritual of dissonance, and righteous acts of rebellious loving. Here, the essence is hardly rare.
The Zone Between Ignorance and Mastery
This week's meanderings include questions about artificial expression, embracing the things that suck, when packet loss is a gain, and Liverpudlians who love their football. Half email, half newsletter.
