“Hi! So you want to know when/how I read The Hustle, huh? As I live in Japan, the email arrives at 1am. Recently I seem to still be awake at that time, having had video calls with colleagues who are mostly in the US. Yes, timezones suck…


Then The Hustle arrives, I decide to take a quick look before going to bed, and before you know it an hour or two have passed. Take tonight, for instance. You linked to Tubthumping and now I’ve been sucked into a stream of nostalgic 90s guitar pop. But you’ll have to try harder than that to make me unsubscribe.” — Daniel
