This is very exciting. I am really looking forward to this. Music is such an integral part of how we all cope. Its also going to be intriguing to see how you manage your content.

Catching up—great to read about your new series, Andy. Music really is a powerful conduit. When I started The Twelve Inch, I didn’t expect to be able to connect so many records to moments from my own life, but now I find myself doing it almost every week.

In any case, you’ll do brilliantly—as you do with everything. You’re a natural. And I love the baseline, by the way 😁

Good job, I think I was the first one. You really have come a long way and found your stride. Something humanity can share is music and how it indeed helps us cope as Tamara says below. Keep on keeping on...

Thank you, Lori! 100% agree that music is the best universal language humanity can share. Thanks so much for your support! ♥️

We thought you were an outie, but we are about to discover you are a secret innie. Though, as you say, outies are especially skilled at avoiding exposing anything too raw. So I admire your willingness to "go there and go deep." Not sure why I put that in quotes.

I am not 100% clear what the Inner Grooves will entail, but I like to think it's a bit like what I've been doing, blending music and memoir. And so I like to think this has been influenced by me. And so I suggest you rename this series "Inner Goldbergs." Just a thought. 😂

"Go there and go deep... or go home" -- a tshirt that says 🤣 Cheers, Steve!

I think it'll all become clearer once I publish the first Inner Grooves post on Wednesday, but think of it less as memoir + song and more like "this jarring/painful/dramatic/hilarious/[insert highly emotionally intense adjective] thing happened to me, and I learned ABC, and this song is opportune because of X, and by the way, did you know the song was inspired by Y, which ties nicely into my story because of Z". It's a messy format, but I hope it will click. Thanks for being here!
