Who Needs More Content?

 

I seem to be getting a big uptick in views lately. Thank you so much! We’ve probably never met, but I assume you’re very good-looking. 

If you don’t know, I also record stories. I’m happy I found another way to tell stories, and I’ve been told I have a great voice for podcasting. It wasn’t even my mom who said that. My pod is called Who Needs More Content? You can listen to it on spotify. 

As of this moment, I’ve got 60 episodes for your listening pleasure. Currently, I’m rewriting “April Fool’s Day.” It won’t be easy to finish it by April Fool’s Day ’24, but that’s my goal.

Top 40 Albums*

 The * is there to note that I'm not repeating any artists. For instance, I could include more than one Radiohead or Beck record in my top 40, but nah, I wanna give spots to others. 

I'm 40! So I'm doing top 40 lists this year. My big takeaway is that these things are always flawed... Perfect!

I didn't put these in a specific order. I worked pretty quickly to get it over with. In general, my personal no-brainers appear towards the top. 

If something clicks for you, that's outstanding. I just dig into lil' projects, spit 'em out, and move onto the next one. 

Shoutout to these great artists. 

Even the dead ones? you may ask.

Especially the dead ones. 

One more thing.

Ugh, Jesus. What?

Is this just going to be pointless doom scrolling? 

Alright, that's actually a great question. Doom scrolling is running amok and screwing up our minds. The best way to avoid it is by listening to Who Needs More Content? on Spotify. It's content, without the doom scrolling. 

Now I feel dirty.

Well, get yourself clean by listening to Nick's stories on Spotify. You want a shirt that reads "Who Needs More Content?" Cool, make one. 

Anyway, here's the list:
