The original flash was black and gray. I asked my artist to follow his heart with the colors and he absolutely crushed it.

I was browsing Craigslist late last night when I came across this Danelectro 56 U-3 reissue from the 90s. It was a pretty good deal with a hard case thrown in so I felt the need to jump on it. She’s in terrific condition with the person I bought it from being the original owner. 3 lipstick pickups, aluminum nut, gotoh tuners, slim neck, and no dings. I can’t wait to plug her in later tonight!

I have a decent sized collection of records coming in currently at 429 12” + a handful of 45s, singles and a stack of odd but cool postcard records. I’ll think of a random number, then look it up on a spreadsheet with my current inventory that’s sorted A-Z by Artist. Today was 222 so I’m currently listening to King Gizzard and the Lizard’s Polygondwanaland. How do you pick what to listen to?

Fujifilm xt-200, toy camera lens. Taken St Patrick’s day weekend when people flock to downtown Chicago to watch the River Dye. It was a beautiful mid 60 degrees day. I was walking to a friend’s condo when a group of people sitting on a bridge caught my eye.
