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

In a roadside diner in Oregon where an acoustic instrumental of « what a friend we have in Jesus » is looping over and over - the simulation is glitching

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 vibe this AM. #nowplaying #vinylsky

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 !

The Last Week's Rotation. ⚡️🎧⚡️[Ending 05.25.25] Came back to Ghosts I-IV in a big way this week. Might be unpopular opinion but still my favourite set of NIN recordings. There's a unique quality to them that draws me in deep. Was obsessed with this in '08. Feel it coming back. 👻 #MusicSky #LastFM

Where does the time go? Will be spinning this one this week! 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

Ooof—air is bad in Vancouver this morning. Apparently a 3 alarm fire on East Hastings.

This is a really thoughtful, in-depth take on the current music landscape. It optimistically kicks against the perception that businesses like Spotify hold an inevitable place. Well worth the read! ✌️ #musicsky open.substack.com/pub/littledo...
