Last day in NYC: Collxn updates before the move
Hey fellow record dreamer,
TL;DR: Collxn has a new website, new Connxn blog is live (you're reading it now), Collxn stickers live at For The Record, and... so long NYC 🥲.
Read on for the details!
New site + Connxn blog
collxn.com has a fresh look and a new blog called Connxn. It's a space for product notes and community stories from the Collxn team (which right now is just me, Ash! Hi!).
For the moment, Connxn mirrors the newsletters, but it gives us a shared space outside the inbox (long live RSS 📡) and room to grow into something more.
You can check out the Connxn top page here: collxn.com/connxn
Daily Drops under development
With the new site and blog up, I can pour more focus into getting Daily Drops up and running and finally in your hands later this summer.
As I build, I have a question for you: if your record collection could email you, what would you want it to say?
Collxn stickers at For The Record
Collxn stickers are now at For The Record NYC in Greenpoint, Brooklyn! I love hanging out at this shop, chatting with owner Lucas, drinking the coffee he roasts, and digging through the crates.
(👀 Here's a haul I picked up at For The Record a couple of months ago, one for each person in my family.)
Places you can get Collxn stickers now:
- 🟠 Catalyst Records (Lower East Side)
- 🟣 Pancakes Records (Astoria, Queens)
- 🟢 For The Record (Greenpoint, Brooklyn)
- ⚫️ n5MD (mail order)
If you spot one, send a pic and make my day/week/month/year.
Kyoto move = slower replies
My family is already in Kyoto, where we’re starting a new chapter and extending my wife’s ikebana business. I’m flying out tonight/tomrrow (whatever 4am counts as).
Alpha onboarding is still open (Discogs required), but replies will continue to be slow for the next week or so.
If you’ve reached out already—thank you. You’re still on the list. 🙏
Thanks for being here. More soon—from the other side of the world.
