@JasonIsbell I heard you say a quote once (I believe it was from John Prine) - something about not writing the song you think people want to hear … it was so good, but I can’t remember the full quote, any help?
I’ve booked one! I’ve done one of these before, and I can’t say enough how Kevin’s advice helped me with my songwriting. (And I had an injured thumb that time, so couldn’t even play anything.)
I follow a lot of newsletters, but Niko’s is the one that I never miss. A great music mind, with great life observations, and a sharp wit. Highly recommend!
Happy newsletter day, I wrote about getting out of the house over the weekend to see Weyes Blood, Phoenix and Beck, and about the night and the way the night used to be.

@yasisalek@thursdayband I can’t express enough how much I love this pod. It’s in the rare “doesn’t matter who the guest is, I’m listening” tier (that said, super excited for this one, specifically!)
@jesshopp@itsmejmg@yasisalek I had never really thought about how Perry approached writing about women, before this. Gave me a new appreciation for a few tunes.
@nikostratis @stefschwartz That’s such a good idea. Literally all of my tattoos reference a song. It’s a disease. The last one, I gave my artist a set of lyrics, and let her design and tattoo without seeing it. Again, a disease.
