Vita. Veritas. Vox Populi.
Welcome to V1LLAG3 Voice, the V13 Media Newsletter. Every Friday, you’ll get our best music, entertainment, culture, and literature pieces: features, news, reviews, and more. C’est la V13.
It’s Friday, July 3rd. We’ve been a little quiet here. Why, you ask? Well, we believe in change, we believe in growth, we believe in always trying to do better, in finding new ways, in creating more flow…
So, as much as Lance might have loved (read: despised) helming all 3 of our weekly Newsletters, it just made sense for me, Gonda (@heartdea13r), to take this over.
There was an attempt to try this on my own. There was failure. There was a learning curve, and now the baton has been passed. Now you get to hear from me.
Expect fun round-ups from our growing network, and maybe a touch of my patented mindset advice sprinkled in for good measure.
Let’s do this…
// TOP STORY

You put the work out. It got crickets.
Wednesdays at 2 PM EST, get 90 mins live with people who do this for a living — a publicist, a content strategist, a music-business operator, a publishing pro. The same people private clients pay $1,500–$3,000 a month to work with.
Bring one thing you're stuck on. Leave that same call with a straight answer you can act on. Not someday → this Wednesday.
Right now it's free. No card, no catch. It's free because we're in our founding chapter, building it with the first members — and the day pricing turns on, founding members keep the founding rate for life.
Worst case? You spend 90 minutes and walk out with more insights and professional feedback than you had going in.
Love us…
…or leave us.

Empire of the Sun Transport Halifax Piece Hall to Alternate Dimension with Visual Spectacle [Photos]
Empire of the Sun transports fans to an alternate dimension with visual spectacle at The Piece Hall in Halifax, with support from Balu Brigada.
The 37th edition of Francos de Montréal was a total hit, and Groovy Aardvark joined the fun, rocking so hard that they blew out the power.

Ahead of David Armada’s highly anticipated ‘Block Margera,’ we receive a four-track snapshot into the world of Armada.
On “Sombre Maze,” Amélie Giardini arrives with a clear artistic identity and a willingness to sit with complicated feelings rather than rushing past them.
Quietly gratifying, with ‘Tamp That Fever Down,’ Dave Hunter and the Seven Hundred spell out the allure of first-rate Americana.
