Hello, Paid Subscriber.
As you may have noticed, it’s not Friday at 1pm. It is, in fact, 48+ hours later. Dear god, I hope you weren’t depending on the consistent timeliness of my newsletter. DID YOU REMEMBER TO TAKE YOUR PILLS??
I’d love to say there’s someone grand justification for today’s Paid-Only NMFO arriving two days late. But all I’ve got is: it’s been fucking gorgeous outside and I spent an extended Memorial Day weekend up in the woods playing hooky. I regret nothing!
[EDITOR’S NOTE: This statement is wildly inaccurate. If regrets were dollar bills, I’d be a 90s rapper at a strip club.]
That said, I’m happy to announce my ultimate triumph over Mother Nature. I (belatedly) bring you:
Bags, and what’s in them!
Primo whistle-wetting!
Nepotism in the sitar-verse!
Death metal goes ambient!
And, the pseudo duet you’ve been waiting for!
