Ah, thank you, Steve!
I saw @tiffmurray.bsky.social discussing My Family and Other Rock Stars with @johnrobbofficial.bsky.social at the Louder Than Words festival recently.
This book is wonderful! Warm, funny, real, sad and the sort that you are glad there are still so many pages left to read - until there aren’t.

Happy to have added my name to this list, I do hope it breaks through. Reading the list of signatures is also a nice reminder of the many amazing people making ambitious audio these days. This community needs Short Cuts more than ever.
We were in bits when we saw this open letter on Friday, put together by a group of audio-makers.
It’s Sunday morning as we write this and it already has well over 800 signatures. 😭 docs.google.com/document/d/1...
