Pivots - Mixtape for September

by Jessica Brookman in

Starting new things is the theme of September. 

I spent the summer spinning my wheels. But all of the back to school bullshit of September has more than just a marketing function; it's a favored month for (re-)organization. 

I am planning a coming-out party of sorts for  but everything takes so much longer than I ever expect it to (blame the fucking time/space continuum, right?). 

Would you help me by taking a three-question survey?

Thank you! It will help shape the future of this site and the content you get here...as well as my life. I will appreciate greatly it and high-five/hug/dance with you in person if the occasion arises. 

Finally, I made you a mixtape of new music for doing your new things this month.

California Analog Dream: Mixtape for March

by Jessica Brookman in ,

This is my second spring in Southern California. The circumstances of my life are quite drastically different, but the feeling of the days is pretty much the same: Mornings are bright again, the air is still crisp around 70 degrees, and (even though I'm not involved) there is a frantic buzz around the city as we're in the midst of pilot season. Business. ​

​When I'm planning something, I need peace and quiet. But when I'm writing, there is music playing, always. Here's a mix for whatever you're working on this month.
