Welcome to Get It Together
An art and music Venn diagram you didn't know you needed.
Get It Together is a weekly newsletter and subscription series run by me, Lauren Denitzio, an artist and songwriter who has been playing in bands and making things for… a long time. You might know me from my band Worriers or my artwork and zines.
Here you’ll find commentary from a queer-feminist person about punk/indie/pop music, visual art, and related media, along with conversations with other artists/musicians on their process and building a creative life.
It’s a little ranty, pretty queer, and my outlet to earnestly tell you about the things that I love.
Because I have a hard time describing this thing, you’ll probably enjoy this newsletter if you fit into any or all of the following categories:
Elder Millenials
Cynical queers
Independent artists
Fans of Worriers
SOME OF MY FAVORITE EMAILS:
Conversations with Laura Jane Grace, Jeff Rosenstock, Marissa from Mannequin Pussy, and more
The significance of seeing films like That Thing You Do and Empire Records on making music as an adult.
An essay about falling in love to the band Muna.
Someone brought up the band Good Luck, so I waxed nostalgic for a second about the late-2000’s scrappy punk-emo-folk phase of DIY and some favorite songs from that era.
A pre-election story about not defining your worth by your work and how our world fell apart the day before tour.
An adventure where I rescued stolen bikes and didn’t call the cops.
WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING:
“The best $5 I spent in 2020!”
“generally really enjoyable!”
“I don't feel very much part of the music or scene worlds at all…but I have gotten connected to some awesome music and zines and people through your newsletter!”
“I fucking loved this!”
“Oh I LOVED reading this, thank you for the recommendations!”
Get It Together is available for free, but it’s supported by paid subscribers. It also acts as the closest thing Worriers will get to a Patreon.
If you’d like to support the newsletter and my creative projects (and also receive a bunch of extra music and art, or even some snail mail) check out the paid subscriptions below. Thank you for reading!
Some of the bonus items that you’ll have access to immediately:
Covers of songs by The Mountain Goats, The Lawrence Arms, Bruce Springsteen and more.
A Casio keyboard jam version of the Worriers song “Curious” from when we were in the studio with Laura Jane Grace.
A bunch of start-to-finish drawing process videos.
How to play Worriers songs like “PWR CPLE” and “Terrible Boyfriend”.
