Hey folks: i’m pleased to introduce to you, born just today, The Machine Shop — my very own Substack journal, a place where I’ll be sporadically (read: 2-3 times a week) posting all manner of things associated with the things I’m, well, associated with: music, writing and… that’s it, really. But it encompasses a lot: I’ll be posting unheard songs, unreleased demos & new covers; I’ll be posting my own lyrics & annotate them, and I’ll be taking other peoples’ songs and digging into to what makes them *so good.* I’ll also be posting exclusive looks at new writing projects & perhaps one day a serialized novel! So much! Subscribe at colinmeloy.substack.com! (Design and illos by the very talented and generous @carsonellis)
Hey folks, I’ll be playing a solo show this next Thursday, December 10, at 5:30 pacific/8:30 eastern — live streamed into your own home/barn/brainstem.

All in all, a pleasant way to spend a Thursday evening, I’d say. https://www.instagram.com/p/CITaGwpH-Dm/?igshid=1fajxauiihoeg
