Substacks recommended by Nick Lewis

Recommended by Nick Lewis

Invictus Hi-Fi makes experimental, esoteric and electronic tracks which demand your attention and perception.

Record Shop Stories is a lovingly produced newsletter about independent record stores – the people who run them, the people who cherish them, and the stories that live behind the counter.

This year I purchased a brand new turntable to play a small collection of records I had saved from our old house when we moved, others were sold etc. Then I started to find record stores once again, hence discovering a wonderful bunch of record shop blogs on Substack piqued my interest and Record Shop Stories is one of the absolute finest.

Documentally

A human authored journal in search of novelty, exploring what we share, how we share, and where we’re going.

I have followed Christian's work since way back in the early 2000's. What I love about his writing, is it's observational, curative feel. The format of each post is regular and his occasional podcasts are always entertaining too. It's like nectar for the soul.
