About Mundane Mayhem

Thank you for subscribing and joining me on this endeavor. Each week, paid subscribers will receive a fresh piece of content in their inbox, exploring the songs, stories, themes, and humans who make Drive-By Truckers so great.

Like the music of DBT, this newsletter will explore themes of joy, humor, anger, loss, and bad decisions, interwoven with my own family’s fucked-up Southern gothic tales. Once a month, I'll interview a fellow fan, so please holler at me if you’re interested in being featured:

If you find Mundane Mayhem compelling, I hope you will become a paid subscriber; everyone gets a 30-day free trial. If not, you'll still have access to occasional free posts.

If you do choose to pay $4 a month, you'll get every new post, plus access to the full archive. In addition, you can interact with a community of DBT fans, who we all know are excellent hangs.

Learn more about me and why I started this newsletter.

My Promise to You

Mundane Mayhem is an independent, reader-supported publication. All content will be thoroughly fact-checked, and mistakes will be corrected promptly, with disclosures as needed.

All payments are handled via Stripe; Mundane Mayhem does not have access to your payment information. I will never sell your email address or share it with any other vendors.

You may unsubscribe to emails and/or cancel your paid subscription at any time. Please note that unsubscribing to emails alone does not cancel your subscription.

Only paid subscribers to Mundane Mayhem are allowed to comment.

Your Promise to Me

All comments must be respectful of fellow fans, band members past and present, and Mundane Mayhem writers and interview subjects. No name calling, hate speech, trolling, or solicitation. You are not allowed to speak freely without consequence.

All comments should be directly related to the post topic and/or directly related to the music or the band.

Love each other, motherfuckers.

A note on Ghost: Although Substack is more of a household name, I chose to build my newsletter on Ghost. Not only is Ghost a nonprofit and open-source alternative, but Substack has also an unaddressed white supremacy problem that I can't ignore and would prefer not to profit from.

A note on music streaming: Although I will embed Spotify or Bandcamp players into my posts when I'm discussing certain songs, I urge anyone who can afford it to please purchase Drive-By Truckers music on Bandcamp, on vinyl, or in whatever analog or digital format you prefer.

Thank you to the wonderful people who helped me launch this site: my mom and favorite fellow DBT fan, Nan; my husband, Josh; Mandy, the best editor in the business; and my valuable advisor Tommy.
