Hello love,
My “Love Letter” mailing list has been growing for decades. I’ve moved everyone over to a new hub I call Reality Shield.
The Love Letters will continue (for free), but this new space also allows a deeper engagement to those who would like to see behind the curtain. I don’t love paywalls, but they are a means by which people can support artists.
Lots will be free here, but I’ll be putting the most juicy bits behind the paywall:
a HUGE archive of recorded live shows, zoom shows, ancient radio interviews from my youth, etc.
exclusive access to the concert doc “All Together Now: A Dan Mangan Film”
voice memos of half-finished songs & other works in progress
occasional pop-up Zoom hangs
What’s next?
You will start receiving updates right here in your inbox. Go to your account settings to update your notifications; you can uncheck the box beside categories you'd rather not receive.
What is a “Reality Shield”?
I’m not certain, but my boys shout the term whenever they’re about to jinx each other, so I think it’s a cosmic declaration that protects your ability to make sound without receiving a punch in the arm from your sibling.
Why did you build a Reality Shield?
Social media algorithms nuke anything overly in-depth, and as such, artists have gotten used to using those platforms for a wide-but-shallow discourse. I like the idea of also having a lane for narrow-but-deep discourse.
Can I help spread the word?
Thank you for asking! Yes, of course you can!
What about “Being Somewhere”?
It’s the best thing I’ve ever touched and it’s out Oct 28th. Head on over to danmangan.com to scope out the pre-order bundles!
Thank you for your eyes and your ears.
x
Dan
