Enjoyed this - can second it helps if you post more regularly. Find a time frame which doesn't put you under pressure. Usually you end up writing something just for the sake of doing so.

I was mesmerized by the *design* layout you implemented in your video (and your orange beanie really is the secret in the sauce 🤩).

As a designer who, years ago, ran his own ad agency — and had a shrine in place to David Ogilvy (I’m that old) — you nailed the logic of what made the newsletter an attention getter. Great job!

Oh my, thank so much! I quite enjoy throwing these videos together :))))

The important question though: did you check out any Wargasm music videos yet? haha

“The author platform follows the work. Not the other way around.” Gosh, this is such a good point.

Uhm, not yet. Although the band’s name does warrant a quick spin. Although metal music is not really my thing.😂

I recommend this one to maximize your "I don't listen to metal" capacity for the year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEyBFg3E_dI

"Wargasm UK", huh?

I was actually fortunate enough to see the original "Wargasm", in Boston in 1986; it was the side-project of a guy named Dan Lilker, best known for his work in the legendary thrash band "Nuclear Assault". If anything, his Wargasm project was even more abrasive than NA was. These Brits have a lot to live up to, whether they know it or not.

Judging from photos of their live shows, they’re doing okay! Haha https://x.com/thisiswargasmuk/status/1736117110726697315?s=20
