I know, this is isn’t the newsletter you were expecting. “Where are the recs? Landry, are you OK?” I’m fine (thanks for asking). I’ve just realized after six months of putting this out each week, perhaps less is more. So, from here on out, a new Noteworthy edition will hit your inbox BI-WEEKLY. That means more time for you to catch up on what’s featured in the newsletter and more time for me to figure out what to feature next. It’s a win-win, really. Not that I’ll always stick to the two-week schedule. If something that simply can’t wait is on the new release docket that week, don’t worry, I won’t leave you hanging. As always, thanks for reading y’all. See you next Friday morning!
