This was such a fascinating conversation - music history + biscuit history!

Beautiful from beginning to end.

I was not familiar with this band but “a corporate jingle left to warp in the sun” sent me on a quest to learn more. Andrew’s writing is so wonderful as always!

I love this project so much, and this week’s installment is particularly wonderful. : )

🎨💌

This is very exciting!

Oh my gosh @iammilliam.bsky.social - your new banner photo! We may be wandering into my “wet cement”territory soon.

I agree with Andrew! It feels like such a privilege to be a witness to (and for) Inventory. This installment is particularly wonderful. : )

🤍

I didn’t know this band but Andy’s writing brings them to life with such rich and insightful understanding. Each installment of INVENTORY is a little (in size not in meaning) work of art. I so look forward to them and am learning so much!

Talk Talk’s Spirit of Eden, and now this cherished favorite right on its heels. Just bought a subscription as a holiday present to…me!🎄

A wonderful holiday episode of one of my favorite podcasts that features some very special guests! 🎄

Reposting this birthday illustration I made for @backlisted.bsky.social on their actual birthday today (thanks to @iammilliam.bsky.social post for this knowledge!). Happy Birthday Backlisted! 🤍

If you aren’t signed up for the @backlisted.bsky.social Patreon you are missing (among other great things) Andy’s wonderful writing in INVENTORY about music, memory, and meaning. This week’s installment is really special (she says weekly, but it’s true weekly).

This was fantastic from beginning to end. I learned so much about something I thought I knew. And Singin’ in the Rain - at last!!! ☔️

A little birthday sketch for @backlisted.bsky.social , which has enriched my life immeasurably and given me great joy.This is the cover of Angel by Elizabeth Taylor, one of my favorite books and episodes. Happiest 10th birthday wishes to Andy, John, Nicky, and Una! See you in NYC! 🍎

I’m really excited to explore Clay Pipe Music (the sounds and the sights in the form of those wonderful illustrations). Thank you so much for sharing your music (and yourself) with us via INVENTORY. : )

Happy birthday Bryan Ferry 🎂 📷 John Swannell Iris print, 1985 "The only bit I don’t like is analysing it. I do sometimes envy the people who don’t ever have to describe what they’re doing."

A breathtakingly beautiful installment of this wonderful project. I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to witness INVENTORY unfolding and taking shape in real time. 🤍

Remembering Jacob Lawrence on his birthday 🎂 📷 Arnold Newman, New York, 1959 "You must never pick up your paintbrush unless your heart is fully attached to it."

I love this podcast - excited about a new episode!

My new favorite episode in a very crowded and competitive field of favorites. I’m excited for the discussion to continue via Locklisted!

Remembering Harry Nilsson on his birthday 🎂 📷 Michael Putland, 1971 "He was a renaissance man and a get-along guy. A carouser and a crusader. He failed well and succeeded poorly. He did everything before most, and nothing in moderation." - Sean Fennessey @seanfennessey.bsky.social

I loved this discussion so much. A rich and educational delight from beginning to end! 🤍

Exciting news and a great addition to the Backlisted experience! I can’t wait to read Andy’s writing about his record collection! 🤍
