#262 // The Bloody Beetroots: Inside the Studio Where Chaos Becomes Craft

Voice: So I’m talking to Erin Browne, our PR & Marketing Exec this morning, and I’m realizing that I need to write this thing, which means I’m obviously going to seize at the first thing that comes to mind, and it’s that I’m incredibly grateful. I’m so grateful for the incredible people that I get to work with. I’m so grateful for the work I get to do with people. I’m so grateful for my family and the life I get to lead.

#261 // Reading & Leeds 2026 // Headliners Revealed for Next Year’s Festival

Voice: I’ve talked a LOT about the Christmas Miracle we’ve been running the past few weeks and how awesome the talent has been. So today I’m going to talk about another Christmas Miracle that’s upcoming:

#260 // Static-X // Tony Campos on the Legacy of ‘Wisconsin Death Trip’

Voice: THE MIRACLE GREW LEGS. When we opened the door on the V13 Christmas Miracle, the idea was simple: give away real PR work to artists because the system keeps squeezing them and we’re done watching quietly from the sidelines.

#259 // City and Colour // ‘Sometimes Lullaby’ Arrives for RSD Black Friday

Voice: IT’S STILL A MIRACLE. AND IT’S WORKING. Last week we launched the V13 Christmas Miracle, our decision to offer free PR services to artists through the end of the year. Not for clout or leads or funnels or any of that shit. But because we’re fed up with the way artists are treated and we believe in doing something real. Something generous. Something rooted in Love & Logic.

#257 // Converge: ‘Love Is Not Enough’ Ushers In a New Era of Chaos

Voice: IT’S TIME FOR A MIRACLE. Paying lip service to a Mission, Vision, Values page on your corporate site while clearly orienting everything towards profitmaxxing seems to be the domain of most businesses, big or small, these days. And we’re frankly tired of that shit. Christopher Gonda and I have this weird thing where we believe that we can run a business using a balance of Love & Logic.

#256 // Foo Fighters: ‘Take Cover’ Stadium Tour Storms Europe in 2026

Voice: Why hello. Life is passing you by. Every second. The Earth is spinning. You are a speck on a rock in an endless void that will stretch until it contracts. Everything is happening, with or without your permission. If this makes you feel hopeless, understand that this sentience you have is a gift. Understand that everything in your physiology is doing everything in its power to make you aware. You are here. You are reading these words.

#255 // The Prodigy: Massive Outdoor Takeover Set for Summer 2026

Voice: Why hello. I took a break from doing a full developmental edit of a manuscript to do today’s V1LLAG3 Voice, and to be honest I’m looking forward to getting back to it. Sometimes a pocket polemic by-way-of Spider Jerusalem is precisely what the doctor ordered, and I want to get back to taking that medicine. Remember that reading is good for you, so pick up a book and read something. Doesn’t matter if it’s a self-help or textbook or children’s illustrated book; just put something real between your hands and remember the joy of solitude with your mind’s eye.

#254 // Biohazard: Evan Seinfeld on Truth, Turmoil & Modern Life

Voice: Why hello. Have you ever heard of the expression “1 + 1 = 3”? A friend reminded me of this recently and I knew right then and there I had to put it at the top of this newsletter. It’s the idea that the meeting of two things creates a third, distinct thing.

#253 // Headstones: Hugh Dillon on Survival, Struggle & Songwriting

Voice: Why hello. At V13, Chris Gonda (our Founder, Publisher, & CEO, and my brother from another mother) has a saying: family first. I can’t tell you the amount of times that he’s had to tell me this. 13? 131? 1313 times? Probably more.
