Welcome to Meet Me in Montauk!
I have been posting a new Song of the Day every single day since July 25, 2008 — 18 years and counting. What started as a casual pastime and creative outlet turned into a sprawling archive of my thoughts on music and movies.
I’ve recently begun reorganizing nearly two decades of writing into curated collections to make the archive easier to explore.
I encourage you to check out some of these features:
Music
Artists – a (growing) list of the performers about whom I’ve written the most
Albums – Track-by-track appreciations of complete albums by a range of artists
Decades – My (in progress) look at the albums released in every year since 1970
Throwback Weekends – Songs that topped the charts over the past 40-70 years
What the Kids are Listening To – Songs topping the charts right now
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame – My ongoing exploration of every Rock Hall class since its inception
Movies
Horror movies – an appreciation of a genre I embraced way too late
Meet Me In Montauk 
To make a long-winded story short, I don’t believe in coincidences (something to do with how I found this blog, and the blog title). To further prove this hypothesis, and make the Magick happen — would I be able to get a list to date of all the “Songs of the Day”?
Never heard of your blog, but Clay’s
review of Roma nailed it and was far deeper and explored greater complexities than other more “well known” reviewers from bigger papers. Well done. Good insights.
Do you have a Spotify profile?
Just subscribed, and can’t wait to keep up with Clay’s writing because it is always so beautiful and meaningful!
