Some thoughts for the new year on how tastemaker’s attention is distributed and how that distribution could be better.

And in case anyone’s wondering, @residentadvisor @Mixmag @DJmag are the publications I reference that are doing a pretty good job

Coming out of my X shell due to some critical happenings in CA:

The Demand Side Grid Support program provides a critical path for California to reduce costs and avoid gas peaker emissions. Legislators need to act now to make sure it retains funding

Had the honor of covering local Oakland group ⁦@clubnightband⁩ in Bandcamp today, which basically reads like a 500 word request for them to finally make a second album https://t.co/tryR75VbEZ

Pitchfork has been gutted, but apparently it's a new golden age for music blogs. So I decided to do my part and start a Substack.

@missaneesaahmed @guardian Congrats! I can’t DM b/c not verified, but I have a story on women representation in rock scenes in Asia that I think could be a good fit for the Guardian. Feel free to reach out if interested!
