The New Bands for Old Heads Directory

A directory of every single band and every single playlist I have ever mentioned in this newsletter.

(Skip to the directory link!)

Last year I started keeping a spreadsheet of every new band I’ve ever recommended in the newsletter.

It’s an extremely unaesthetic Google Sheet that acts as an index, an archive, and a reference. It includes

• the name of the new band

• the old band (or general vibe) that they sound like, and

• a link to the post where I talked about them.

Did you ever miss a few weeks of my posts and felt too lazy to read through them? Or you’re just having a tip of the tongue moment? This is an easy way to catch up.¹

It also has a tab for every single playlist I’ve ever shared both in this newsletter and elsewhere in the New Bands for Old Heads ecosystem (Tik Tok; I’m talking about Tik Tok).

Obviously, this directory is ugly as hell. But that doesn’t stop it from being — in my humble opinion — extremely useful.

Because the directory is a paid subscriber benefit, I need to regenerate the link to it regularly. I don’t know why I didn’t think to park that link in an easily referenced Substack post instead of constantly updating all of my emails, but some of us are a bit slow. I got there eventually.

Anyway, the directory link is below. Please enjoy responsibly.
