News you may have missed! (12/23/20)
Good Charlotte is back! MCR reflect on reunion show. New blink-182 music on the way? A podcast episode EVERYONE needs to hear. And much more!
What’s up, everyone?! I know this mailer may seem a little late (or early depending on how you look at it). Truth is, I knew there wasn’t going to be much to report on this week, so I decided to just hold off on sending this mailer last Friday and instead just send it out mid-this week.
With the holidays coming up in a few days, I’d like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I truly appreciate every single one of you who subscribe, open and read this newsletter on a weekly basis. It really does mean a lot. I hope this holiday is safe and happy for all of you.
If you haven’t noticed already, we’ve renamed this mailer. We’ve updated it from the All Punked Up Newsletter to The Scene 411. If you’re a listener of our podcast, then you’re familiar with our The Scene 411 segment where we talk about and give our opinions on recent news from around the scene. The name has sort of grown on me and I wanted to use it here too as it just makes sense (to me at least).
Speaking of the podcast…
The All Punked Up Podcast
Bailey, John and I took a different approach on our recent episode of The All Punked Up Podcast by having an in depth conversation that we think everyone could get something out of. If you're an artist, a creative or an entrepreneur and you're ready to start creating and doing, or maybe you’re ready to just do something else, then you absolutely NEED to listen to this episode. Our message for this episode is to motivate and encourage those who have goals. You'll definitely want to listen until the end.
