#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.

#252 // Wu-Tang Clan: ‘The Final Chamber’ Expands Worldwide in 2026

Voice: Why hello. When was the last time you tried using social media, socially? Like, when was the last time you searched a topic that you like and then scrolled the feed/hashtag/whatever and commented on people’s posts? Shared your opinion without being a dick or trying to dunk on someone?

#251 // Taylor Acorn: Owning Every Emotion on New Album ‘Poster Child’

Voice: Why hello. Never enough time. Never enough time to work, work out, or go out. Never enough time to do anything, gotta keep making the most of every moment, even when you’re doing nothing you can’t just do nothing, you have to make that nothing do something, luxury without leveraging it for socials or content? That’s just plain irresponsible. — My inner critic. Hope you can tell yours to shut up. Live your life, friend.

#250 // Ian Thornley // The Next Chapter of Big Wreck’s ‘The Rest of the Story’

Voice: Why hello. This is the 250th edition of this newsletter, and in celebration of that I’m going to just keep doing the same damn thing I always do because that’s the only way I’m going to get this dang thing out today. Happy Friday, go listen to Heavy Head by Little Bihlman, that song’s been in my head all week, and I want you to suffer the same as me pretty please.
