The Mossletter 19
Hey Friends,
You might notice a new look and feel for the newsletter; after updating to a monthly frequency, I also took the time to migrate my newsletter to Substack*. šŖ To my friends peppered all around the world: whether you celebrate(d) Hanukkah or Diwali, Kwanzaa or Christmas ā may the warmth of the holidays rejuvenate your mind and bring peace into your hearts. Happy New Year! š
*Why Substack, you ask? I wonāt bore you with the details here, but if youāre considering starting your own newsletter and would be interested to hear why I chose them ā just reply and Iāll give you the nerdy lowdown! š¤

š§ On Repeat
A bit too late for Halloween, but just in time for my household chores! The Pumpkins are back, and theyāre ā¦ copacetic? To be honest, Iām kind of fine with Corgan & Crew leaning into their āsofterā side ā¦ Maybe Iām just in a synth-phase? š¤ This too shall pass ā¦
Remember when Marky Mark asked you to take a walk on the wildside? Well, Mister Mark obviously hadnāt yet listened to Dead Sharp ā a fresh auditory project from my old bud Courtney Stubbert. Besides being a multi-media artist tour de force, Courtney continues to prove his mettle experimenting amidst the dank, dodgy corners of the musical experience. Iām not even going to try and explain this album to you, but if you consider yourself open-minded about art (and / or you dig Bjorkās more āgutturalā works), then you should pop some headphones on and get lost in this primal pulse.

š Parting Words
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. ā C. S. Lewis, Writer & Theologian
