Some thoughts for the new year on how tastemaker’s attention is distributed and how that distribution could be better. And in case anyone’s wondering, @residentadvisor @Mixmag @DJmag are the publications I reference that are doing a pretty good job open.substack.com/pub/nochambers…

Coming out of my X shell due to some critical happenings in CA: The Demand Side Grid Support program provides a critical path for California to reduce costs and avoid gas peaker emissions. Legislators need to act now to make sure it retains funding @ilike_mike @CASpeakerRivas

This week’s feature coming to you from Guzz and the @dohits label

Had the honor of covering local Oakland group ⁦@clubnightband⁩ in Bandcamp today, which basically reads like a 500 word request for them to finally make a second album daily.bandcamp.com/hidden-gems/cl…

This month's feature courtesy of @AzizaBrahim1 nochambers.com/p/aziza-brahim…

For Bandcamp, I wrote about Sarah Records and interviewed some of the key players to mark the release of a new compilation album. @SkepWax “It’s only pop music…” daily.bandcamp.com/features/sarah…

"Concise and subtly captivating house with windows opened to the past" open.substack.com/pub/nochambers…

Great read open.substack.com/pub/firstfloor…

Pitchfork has been gutted, but apparently it's a new golden age for music blogs. So I decided to do my part and start a Substack. If it helps a few people find artists they wouldn't have known about otherwise, I'll consider it a job well done. nochambers.com/?utm_source=na…

@mission_data Just confirming - are you looking for this information from RTOs? Or third parties participating in wholesale markets? (or both?)

What customer data do you need for DER participation in a wholesale electricity market? We are determined to find answers hiding behind byzantine complexity. Thus far, one RTO has a list of data requirements that is confidential. We are trying to access it.

All thanks to @courtneymelba for the inspiration

In which I talk about guilt, prayer, and climate anxiety And casually nominate Courtney Barnett for sainthood along the way daily.bandcamp.com/resonance/ive-…
