A newsletter about music and other things that are sort of related to music
Welcome to Former Clarity. I’m David Anthony, and assuming that you came here from some kind of desperate post on social media, you probably know who I am. But if you don’t, here are some facts:
- I’m a music writer living in Chicago.
- I’ve written for sites you’ve maybe read, like Noisey/Vice, The A.V. Club, The Fader, NPR, Bandcamp, Talkhouse, and a bunch of other places.
- I used to be the Music Editor at The A.V. Club.
- I did a podcast called No Plus Ones and currently do a different podcast called As You Were: A Podcast About Alkaline Trio.
- I may have written about a band you like at some point.
If you’ve liked what I’ve done in the past, my plan is to put those kinds of things here. The reason? Because I’m tired of asking permission to do what I want, so I’m doing this instead.
Sign up now and you’ll get one of these every other week (or maybe every week depending on how I’m feeling) and hopefully they’ll be good. We’ll find out together, I guess.
In the meantime, tell your friends!
