Verbal Portrait of a Writer in a Bar
The midday light wove through the whirling, dust-filled air and glanced against the waxed wood. The man ran his hands over the uneven counter: a scarred battlefield, its foxholes carved by an artillery of restless glasses and its surface washed by stank overpours.

A few weeks ago I discovered Epistemic - a music discovery newsletter by Kevin Alexander. It’s the sort of newsletter you wouldn’t know you’d like, but for some reason, you do.
3 times a week, Kevin sends an email with a short written background to a song, followed by a link to listen to it. By adding context to a song, Kevin adds an extra dimension to your listening experience. Strange, but true.
Give it a 2-week trial, and it’ll give you a new favorite song.
Highly recommend.
