Liner Notes (December 20th, 2019)
In this week’s newsletter I share my first impressions on The Rise of Skywalker; I guess this is a Star Wars newsletter now. I also share a few things around the internet I found interesting this week and go through my usual weekly media diet rundown. This week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here.

Blog: Jason Tate’s Top Albums of the Decade
Today we launched our best albums of the decade feature. Lists like these are really hard to make, and even after I finished my list I knew I was missing things. But, at some point hard cuts have to get made and you just have to accept that you’re not going to be able to put everything on and that you’re going to forget a few albums along the way.
Here’s what my final best of the decade, top 50, looked like:

Liner Notes (November 29th, 2019)
It’s the “still full from yesterday’s dinner” version of the newsletter. It’s a slow part of the year, so this week doesn’t have a whole lot of music to go through, but there is a bunch of movies and TV shows to make up for it. Also, since it’s Black Friday, I share a few of the sales around the internet that I recommend. This week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here.

Blog: GoRuck Black Friday Sale
GoRuck is having their annual Black Friday week of sales. This is what I used to get their packing cubes at a very good price last year, and I love them. I can also recommend their kit bag and their backpacks are the best money can buy.

And finally, as we end our relaxing post-Wedding week, and prepare to reenter the rest of the world, I’d like to thank all of our guests and friends that made the wedding what it was. Without all the family and friends that supported us to this moment, we wouldn’t be here. Especially Hannah’s parents and aunts and uncles for welcoming me into the family, and to the cousins that have made me feel so loved.
@drhannahtate, I can’t believe I get to spend forever with you! It’s been an incredible seven years, and thank you for loving me. (First photo by the incredible @jessicahillphoto.)
One week from the wedding and I don’t even know how to say thank you to my mom. She helped put together an incredible rehearsal dinner and let me dance awkwardly during our dance together. But more than that, she has been my rock my entire life. She taught me how to face challenges head on, always try and help where I can, and pushed me to be the man I am today. It was seeing her example of a strong, talented, and incredible woman, that I see reflected in so many of the traits that drew me to my now wife.
A thank you will never be enough for my mom. She’s the best and we love her very much.
There’s no other friend I wanted standing up next to me during my wedding, and no other friend I was excited to see dance on the dance floor after. 🤣 I’ve known Matt since high-school and have always been able to count on him to be there to discuss everything from life changes to the latest new music by a band we grew up with. He spent all day making sure I didn’t need anything, helped put out the mini-fire of the “table number three” fiasco, and is everything I could ask for in a friend. I feel amazingly blessed to have had three incredible grooms-people. (And his dog @camcamthegolden is awesome.)
