mini T2 with Emission Labs Directly Heated Triodes. It didn’t blow up. Left channel offset servo didn’t work so I replaced its ksc2690 with a 1K trimmer. GLAD PÅSK! written on the copper clad is Swedish for Happy Easter!

I've never heard of "Ambient Coconut" before. I've had Tricky's Ambient Pumpkin in my record bag since 1995.

Easter update... a friend of mine has a 3D-Printer: And this is what those parts are for: There will be an additional PCB mounted on top of the volume pot that will also serve as wiring distribution and protection circuit. I will only need tapped holes to the heatsinks, all PCBs are otherwise held in place by the plastic spacers.

I've been neck deep in tax hell this week, so I've regressed to the mid 1990s: White Zombie - La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One (1992) White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000. (1995) Rob Zombie: Hellbilly Deluxe (1998) I've noticed that it's become very popular among current metalheads to hate on groove metal. For the life of me, I don't understand why. I'm not huge on the genre, but I do love me some vintage WZ and Pantera. Dimebag Darrell was a better guitarist than ...well, nearly anybody but certainly anyone who played in Zombie. His riffs were on another planet in their ferocity. The key difference between the bands is that Rob Zombie is a decent frontman and Phil Anselmo is a cancerous growth. This translates to me listening to a lot more Zombie than Pantera in my senior years.

Shot with a potato, still a good tune.

Cramped temporary setup. 19" rack mixer hanging precariously off the table.

It seems if I recall correctly that when he reviewed one of Kevin's estat amps (KGSS, Carbon, I forget) that he didn't set the AP analyzer up correctly, and bristled when Kevin called him out on it.

You call that a turtle? This is a turtle …

Logan's Sanctuary by Roger Joseph Manning Jr. & Brian Reitzell Ex.

Used to bartend in this really unexciting motel while in college and there were a few random CDs behind the counter that we would of necessity play over and over. This, oddly enough, was one and I still love it.

Oh boy. This short film from 2011 by the Beastie Boys got uploaded in 1080p to YT recenty: It's so full of cameos, there is an entire guide to spotting them. I hadn't seen it in years until yesterday. While I think it's hilarious and it reminds me of everything I like about the Beasties, it also kind of makes me sad. Spoilers: Adam Yauch (gone 10 years this spring) looks in rough shape during his brief appearance. He'd not live another year.

Spending my first night at home in a few days. My mother was okay today and yesterday (at least what passes for her after surgery), but there was a bad reaction to tramadol the day before which ended in agitated hallucinatory delusions for about 18 hours. It was rough.

RIP Liz Sheridan at 93. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/liz-sheridan-seinfeld-jerrys-mom-dead-obituary-1338410/amp/ The Seinfeld and Costanza parents are now all deceased, including both actors who played Jerry's dad. ☹️
