Signed book giveaway!

1 week ago | danozzi.substack.com | Dan Ozzi

Hello! I’ve been promising you, the ZERO CRED elite, a FAHRENHEIT-182 giveaway. So here I am, writing to you from book tour where I have been losing track of days, to deliver on that promise. We’ve been having the best time, planes-trains-and-automobiling it around the East Coast, doing our shows and making our jackoff jokes and selling our books. We hav…
FAHRENHEIT-182 is out now!

2 weeks ago | danozzi.substack.com | Dan Ozzi

Three years ago, I got coffee with Mark Hoppus and he asked if I’d help him write his memoir. Actually, he opened a blank notebook on the table, put his pen to the first line, and said, “Okay, Dan, how do I write a book?” For three years I guided him up the mountain like a word sherpa, making sure he never stumbled. And at a certain point he found his footing and took off running. It was truly a joy and an honor to be along for the journey. Today, at long last, FAHRENHEIT-182 is out in the world.
No bad omens.

Hello to the ZERO CRED elite! Whether you upgraded after last week’s one dollar sale or you’ve been around since the beginning, thanks for being here. On Sundays, I usually go long and blab about whatever’s going on that week, either on a personal level or just in the world of music and/or books. My opinions are usually 35% worse than normal and are not…

Welcome to ZERO CRED, the only music newsletter ever to exist. Subscribe today and get new posts sent to you for free. Or upgrade this week for just $1 a month. Today’s edition is an interview about one of my all-time favorite records. Every magazine article I read in the 90s portrayed success as something that just sort of happened to alternative rock bands. Nirvana magically got plucked out of suburban obscurity and accidentally sold a bajillion records.

I’ve never been good at “selling” what I do here at ZERO CRED. I try to keep you, the sweet beautiful reader, free of any ads, promotions, shameless pleas for money, or other things that might annoy you. But for the first time I think ever, I’m dropping a polite reminder that you can upgrade to a paid subscription which helps me immensely. And to celebrate next week’s release of FAHRENHEIT-182, the book I co-wrote with Mark Hoppus, I’m running a big subscription sale.
Robots don't read books, they just steal them.

Hello, ZERO CRED elite. Hope you’re having a good weekend. Back in September, I mentioned I had to make a quick trip to Detroit to shoot an album cover for an unnamed band. Well here it is!Look how beautiful! I blabbed a bit on Instagram about how honored I was to have my photo on what might very well be Murder by Death’s final album, which is all true, …

Alphabetical Order: Death Cab for Cutie - 'Transatlanticism'

1 month ago | danozzi.substack.com | Dan Ozzi

Welcome to ZERO CRED, the only music newsletter ever to exist. Alphabetical Order is a project where I go through my record collection and try to make sense of my life, from A to Z. ZERO CRED is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. The whole time I was talking to Ben Gibbard I kept thinking: Wow. I’m talking to Ben Gibbard. Normally I don’t get starstruck about talking to people, especially not over the phone.

I enjoyed it but it is very difficult …
