Oh man, I'm bummed you won't be around here, but I am *really* excited that Mama Manana and how the shows are taking off they way they have! Looking forward to your triumphant return later this year. In the meantime, I'll see you on IG!

I'll miss your recs and insights in the newsletter, but sounds like some awesome stuff that you've got going. I'll stay tuned for the Mama Manana releases and the cool NM scene you're promoting. Catch ya on the flip side!

I totally understand, and frankly had been amazed at how much you seemed to be accomplishing all at once (I figured that’s what you yung’uns just do). We will all be here when you come back. And, as music is evergreen, we can go back and reread the archives and (re)discover gems of the past 3 years that we missed! Best of luck!

Hahaha not sure I'd be considered a yung'un these days and I'm definitely feeling it with this kinda calendar! Thanks for the positivity and always chiming in with great comments.

Always great to hear from you, Mark! Really hoping I can bring this back if there's a good lull this summer. Two recommendations for you just from this weekend: if Mildlife and Sheer Mag aren't on your list, change that! Mildlife an early AOTY candidate imo.

It's a smart move to focus and not get burned out, so props to you. Looking forward to following all of your good work on IG.

Hope to see you at the festival if not sooner. I'm knee-deep in working on our record, so I'll reach out once I come up for air. Cheers!

Thanks for the encouragement! We definitely need to meet in person soon since we're running in the same scenes. Great to hear about a RFABQ album and I can't wait to hear it. Don't miss out on that festival - it's gonna be wild! See you there.
