New sections and notes!
We write on a very diverse range of subjects and now have categorised them so you can choose to receive only the genres that float your boat. Read on!
Firstly we would love to thank all subscribers to our blog and are especially grateful to those who have chosen a paid subscription.
We have chosen Substack as our blogging platform as there are no advertisements and the interaction is one-to-one, between us and you.
Unlike Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and all the free social media channels, Substack uses no algorithms to dictate what you see or don’t see and we are the only ones who can view the statistics. Your email addresses are private between you and us. We like that…
Too much stuff…
We receive tons of email every day. It drives us bonkers and guess you feel the same way, so we have created five sections in our blog that enable you to choose the genre of articles you want.
The sections are:
VIBES: the entire feed of our blog, video and podcast content.
Culture: about life, food, books, concerts, music and art.
Our Art: about our creative output - video, music, live streams, diaries, gigs, music, artwork and lyrics.
Music Tech: about music equipment, recording studio techniques plus our take on keyboards, guitar & bass.
Podcast: a music-inspired chat show about songs and the people who make them, featuring an eclectic mix of music, plus special shows focussing on inspirational people who have influenced and changed the sound of modern music.
There is one other important section in which you are not notified by email.
Notes: here we post short links to other publications, websites and videos. It’s like our daily diary which we share with you.
How to change what you receive from us by email & app notifications
Subscribers to VIBES receive all articles as they are published, but from today you can choose what you receive. It’s easy:
Navigate to your settings page and click on the publication you want to make changes to: in our case, VIBES.
Slide the toggle next to each section you'd like to start/stop receiving emails or app notifications from. A grey toggle indicates that notifications will be off for that section. Green means you will receive them. If the top one - VIBES - is selected and green, you will be notified of all our posts.
This is what it looks like to a paid subscriber:
Alternatively, when you receive an email newsletter, select Unsubscribe in the footer of the email then click on Turn on/off emails next to each section you'd like to change. That’s it!
And finally…
We hope this change makes your VIBES experience better by allowing you to choose the genre of articles you want.
Over the next few months, we will be increasing our creative output across the board which will include more articles plus the occasional podcast for you to enjoy, hopefully making your day that little bit more special.
Much love
Suzy & Simon
