First: the submission period for Readers’ Week has been extended to midnight Sunday 1 December. Get more details and then email your pick (and, if you wish, your blurb) to readersweek2019@thesinglesjukebox.com.
And now, for those who want to enjoy our writers’ work (which is all of you):
- One Week One Band lives! (As you might know, we here at TSJ are traditionally very much into the OWOB concept.) Its end-of-the-decade celebration is now at sister site Popscenery, where David Cooper Moore wrote about becoming a father to the soundtrack of “The One” by the Knocks featuring Sneaky Sound System.
- For Spin, Hannah Jocelyn reviewed Coldplay’s Everyday Life, calling it “their best album since 2011’s Mylo Xyloto, and their most provocative work to date.”
- Interested in writing not about music? For High Post Hoops, longtime WNBA reporter Jackie Powell reviewed Charlie’s Records, the debut film by New York Liberty star Tina Charles (a documentary about Charles’s father’s lifelong commitment to calypso music), and puts it in the context of Charles’s own career.
- Still interested in writing not about music? Jessica Doyle has a blog about city planning issues, and wrote most recently about empathy, city criticism, and how a question that would seem to show what different Atlantans have in common may actually reveal deep divisions of experience.
