Hey Critical Partiers,

So, I’m giving serious consideration to ā€œrelaunchingā€ this blog. I’m considering making it less like a blog, coming out at a regular interval and containing regular ā€œsegmentsā€ that are more utilitarian as opposed to just my contemplations on ā€œgoing outā€: listing for upcoming events in New York that I think look cool, memes from ā€œtheā€ ā€œsceneā€ā€¦merch??

I want to do this because I think that CPS would be considered a more ā€œprofessionalā€ endeavor if I did it that way, and that that could lead to things like being featured in other newsletters or by Substack itself, and a pathway to monetizing it through subscriptions and/or sponsored content. I think this is also referred to as ā€œbuilding a personal brand,ā€ or, maybe pejoratively, ā€œbeing a writer-influencer,ā€ and that’s something I want because it costs money to live, which is random as fuck.

So, look out for that, maybe. I’m not entirely sure that I actually want to do it or if ā€œI’m that guy.ā€ I feel a little weird because it’s mostly my friends that read this, and I’m not sure how to transition from that to the kind of ā€œreachā€ I’m imagining in this new format. Recently, though, I’ve seen some very good, more ā€œformalā€ listservs like Todd Burns’s Music Journalism Insider and Margot Boyer-Dry’s Lorem Ipsum, and well,

Tove Lo plays Brooklyn Steel

But here’s something more traditional: a show recap. For Bowery Presents, I recapped a very enjoyable Tove Lo show. Read it here, and, if you’d like, also check out my previous recap of Roddy Ricch’s show.
