A Flock of Seagulls (signed!!): likely the most shit-on, underrated, yet influential & copied New Wave act. While everyone was focusing on their MTV hair and the more pop-centric tracks, they were releasing synth heavy, punk adjacent ear worms like Telecommunication and Modern Love is Automatic.

$6.37 for Enter The Wu-Tang 12" LP (which includes mp3 download too)!! Best deal I've scored this year. Wu-Tang is for the children, and cheap-ass-bastards (fwiw: got deuces now, in case I ever need to juggle C.R.E.A.M.)

Grey hair to the right of the soundboard: Bob Weir #bobweir watching his son Zach's band perform at The Acoustic in BPT, CT, circa 2012 maybe ... he ended up sitting in on bass for a song or two.

#billygibbons of #zztop just put a sharpie to this old cut also... like 1/2 of his road cases are beat to shit relics from a 3 decades old Stevie Ray Vaughan #SRV tour!

50 yrs ago #Connecticut based gtr co. #Ovation dropped this all mahogany, 24 fret, #SG influenced growl maker on an unready public. What sets it apart? 3 outs! Mono, plus outs for each pickup (stereo out trs to 2-ts via insert or "y" cable). Wet/Dry/Wet setups have never been easier. #Preacher

#ttm57sl in 2025? while its digital features r 15+yrs obsolete & unsupported, its analog features r timeless: built like a tank, easy to clean / repair / mod, magnetic faders, built in FX, tons of I/o & routing options; is there a finer #vinylonly #turntablism battle / performance mixer for the $?

ever hit the last FX presets on a pedal & wonder where th'fk anyone would use that sound? -'oh cool, thunder bass in hyperspace crying down an empited-bean-can-and-wire-strand-telephony-system' these 2 built their fkn career on those sounds. #meltbanana 's #3+5 (2024) is as unpredictable as ever.😍
