Dearest Old Heads,

I am still traveling, leaving the newsletter defenseless against intruders. Last week, the intruder was friendly. This week, fully hostile. You’ve been warned.

Those who manage to sit all the way through this beating will be treated to a concert ticket giveaway as a reward.

With that, I’m going to hand it off to Mr. Ketchup. GOD BE WITH YOU.

Introduction

TO MY FELLOW PATRIOTS,

I know you were all expecting Gabbie.

But let's face the truth you are TOO COWARDLY TO SPEAK: Gabbie is not fit to curate music on your behalf.

You keep your little mouth shut and tell her how much you appreciate her recommendations. You pitifully add them to your Spotify playlists. Then they sit there idle while you listen to music that you actually enjoy.

You know who you are. You know what you like. Why the hell are you having someone else “curate” music for you? It makes no goddamn sense to me.

billy bearham and I, we’re going to be honest with you since you can’t be honest with yourselves. Rat…
