She talks about how she goes about writing songs. I've never written a song but she makes it sound fun.

A severely underrated legend and lyrical genius. She also is a visual artist and mother - so she can basically do it all and I find this very inspiring.
Her storytelling is unmatched. My favorite album of hers is Alas I Cannot Swim (which I’ve linked), however she has quite a bit of really great music to check out. Her upcoming album, Patterns in Repeat, comes out in October.

I think Laura Marling grabbed Cohen by his lyrical balls.
I'm not saying it just because I'm name-biased, I promise. My friend, who is a big indie-folk-head, has been trying to get me into her music for months now. I've caved, and of course, I started with the one called like me. It happened to be a response song.
I knew of Alexandra Leaving, mostly because my dad collected Leonard Cohen's music compilations like somebody was paying him to do it. And I am fond of Cohen myself. By the time I learned to speak and listen, I’m sure we were both walking in circles around the house humming Suzanne or Is This What You Wanted. But now, after years, I finally know where Alexandra went after she left. I love Laura's voice. I love her jangly, untidy, Crosby, Stills, and Nash-reminiscent guitar playing. I love love love that she gave this woman a chance to be more than a projection of a great music man.

Art and music criticism and theory combined with her Personal meditations and reflections on love and heartbreak.
While I was reading it I confess I found the personal part a bit grating but I still think about and reference it all the time so I think it’s worth the rec regardless.
(I also rec everything by Olivia Laing she’s amazing)

😃I think reducing or eliminating our use of these huge megacorp platforms is ultimately the best way to fight back. I don’t think we can fix a platform in which the addictiveness and brain rot element is foundational to its success. Even the “good” stuff is designed to keep us in its endless loop.
