I think that the Boof is the most fascinating thing in music. A song that you overlooked (really you hated it, but that ruins the Boof analogy) and now you love it. Can't remember what it was like not to love it. Big Log was like that for me. Who names a song BIG LOG? It's worse than Wet Leg. And Everybody Wants To Rule The World - an instant classic to everybody except this idiot - was like that, too. I can rememebr not liking those songs, but I can't remember what it was like not to love them. For you it's Tenderness.

Did I use to hate Tenderness? I did find Paul Weller's voice hard to take, that I remember. Maybe in a future NMFO, I should compile a definitive list of Personal Boofs.

Yeah, you used to imitate that guy's voice and you nailed all the annoying parts of it and left out the good parts. It was pretty damning. I'm laughing just thinking about it. +1 for Personal Boofs!

Great newsletter, a definite subscribe, also, please bring back Audio Spackle (or something similar). One of the best music podcasts I've ever listened to despite its oh so short life and incomprehensible title.

Hey man, thanks so much for the kind words. In the end, Audio Spackle became a bit too work intensive to do as a side hobby. This newsletter allows me to focus on the stuff I enjoy and blow off the shit I suck at (editing in Garageband, booking guests, etc). It may come back in some way, shape or form--we shall see! Regardless, thanks for continuing to give a poop.
