Now we are 40! Welcome to the 40th edition of Content Nausea, your favorite, not regularly published, inconsistent, themeless newsletter. You can read No. 39 right here. Please let me know what you think. Thank you for being here. Here is the welcome blog.
I am writing this newsletter about music while watching the vice presidential debate via a Twitch stream that features people talking over the people talking over each other. I am embracing the chaos right now, so that is why you’re getting a special late-night Content Nausea. There is a goPuff order headed toward my apartment right now, too. I hope you find some good vibes here. I am trying.
We’re three-quarters through 2020, so here is the update of the 2k20.75 playlist:
Some new additions over the past three months:
Taylor Swift -- “invisible string”
Night Shop -- “Waiting”
Widowspeak -- “Plum”
Kevin Morby -- “Wander”
Cave People -- “Room”
Bully -- “What I Wanted”
The Goodbye Party -- “Unlucky Stars”
Magdalena Bay -- “Live 4ever”
Kacy Hill -- “Much Higher”
Some good tunes. The above playlist is a sampling of songs I have enjoyed this year. I think it’s a pretty good collection.

It was pretty good late summer/early fall vibes.
