Hey @hinderson.com — top of the season!! Curious—have you considered a simple like button for releases in addition to ratings? For people like me who don’t rate records but still like to show some love?

Lots of great new adds to my annual Holiday Snow Globe playlist since the initial drop this year! She’s now weighing in at 658 tracks / 35h and 34m. ✌️✨❄️ #musicsky #christmas davidcrompton.net/snowglobe

Just dropped the 16th edition of my holiday playlist. This years’ collection weighed-in at 632 songs/34 hours of hand selected music at release. Enjoy! ✌️✨💙 buttondown.com/crompsy/arch... #Music #Christmasmusic #HolidaySnowGlobe

For the record, music isn't shite. It's pretty good.

“Time to shelve all the warm weather gear and pull out the Germans! Time for Neu!, Kraftwerk, Can, and Ash Ra Tempel. Time to get Station To Station and “Heroes” spinning. Joy Division bootlegs will be activated soon.” — Henry Rollins (From one of the Fanatic books, can’t remember which one.)

Happy Birthday Joe Strummer! I cobbled this playlist together years back based on track-lists from the radio shows he hosted at the turn of the century. Enjoy! ✌️📻❤️ #musicsky music.apple.com/ca/playlist/...

Maybe others do this but I’ve only noticed it with @readwise.bsky.social —I love how they call out individual developers by name. Also detail around updates. This is how it’s done—at least as long as scale allows.

I shared this playlist in my most recent newsletter transmission a week or two ago. Late summer vibes & atmospheric pressure featuring Shigeto, There In Spirit (Jeremy Shaw & Konrad Black,) @rroxymore.bsky.social, Theo Parrish, Djrum + more. Hope you dig. ✌️❤️ #musicsky music.apple.com/ca/playlist/...

I generally don’t appreciate these geese in any way but was kind of down with this one being the early bird at the water park before the child invasion.

I’ve been working away at an updated version of my website—bringing together a refreshed home for my art practice + a new section dedicated to design and creative direction. Still tuning a few things under the hood (as always), but the site is live—pop by when you have a minute. davidcrompton.net

Superman is the story of an immigrant who grew up in Kansas, landed a low-paying job as a reporter in Metropolis, and still had time for a hobby because urban housing was affordable.

All the reasons and more.

And while we’re at it—for those up norths Indie Bookstores is great www.indiebookstores.ca

I adore Bourdain and completely understand the demand and desire for the origin story pic (I’ll be watching it) but as I finish up Ripert’s “32 Yolks” I find myself really wanting to see THIS film. So cinematic.

The habit and dedication to maintain some form of journal is a mixture of developed and intrinsic for me—but a major component in my success is good solid product design. Just the right balance of help me, delight me, and get out of my way. Thank you for ongoing excellence @dayoneapp.com !
