new POPCAST on Pitchfork's early years w/ @ryanpitchfork & @chriskaskie nytimes.com/2024/01/24/art…
On the new Popcast, a conversation with Ryan Schreiber and Chris Kaskie, two of the people responsible for building Pitchfork’s editorial and business operations, about its early days. nytimes.com/2024/01/24/art…
Chopped it up with @joncaramanica on today's @nytimes Popcast alongside @chriskaskie. We chat about Pitchfork's origins, its rise through the '00s & '10s, and the moment of opportunity that lies ahead for music journalism.

good reminder: "If you can work in such a way that the process will be pleasurable enough that even if nothing comes of it, the work is an end in and of itself—then you’ll be ok." - @jiatolentino thecreativeindependent.com/people/writer-…
“I am who I am” is not a sign of a strong identity. It’s a mark of a closed mind. A rigid sense of self is a barrier to growth. It makes you a prisoner of your past. Prior patterns don't have to dictate future decisions. Who you've been shouldn't limit who you become.
tv characters who i know read pitchfork: - kendall roy - jess mariano, lane kim, rory sometimes - jeff winger - oz from buffy (but more of a stereogum guy) - stan, peggy and ginsberg if they had pitchfork in the 60s

It's been months in the making, and I'm so excited to say it's finally here! For @varyerer, I wrote about the wild genre of speculative biology, cosmic loneliness, and the human urge to dream of life on other worlds. Thank you so much for reading varyer.com/article/life-o…

thinking lately how i didn't have enough time with so many friends and loved ones who died young, and, as we all have, i've given too much time to people who didn't deserve the time. it's an endless recalibration, but these days, have been only making space for the real ones.
