Hi friends. It’s April. This month I wrote about Patti Smith, Haruki Murakami, and crying like a baby. I’ve also got a demo of “Black Oak”, which used to be called “Thorny Limbo” (?) and had an entirely different set of lyrics. If you’d like to check it out but still haven’t upgraded your subscription, you can do that right here.
Two extra bits of news this month: we restocked our webstore with some old favorites, and we have a crap-ton of shows in the US, Canada, and UK coming up, all on sale now. Lots of these are already halfway sold out, so hop to it! Details below, and keep scrollin’ for this month’s essay. xoxo
