It's another Bandcamp Friday - the best day to reach out a get some music you can hold, with extra icing for your favorite creators. It doesn't have to be me, but go find something to pick up today and show some love to a musician Spotify pretends doesn't matter!

The week so far: Monday, Paypal fraud. Tuesday, printer goes down, have to order what it needs overnight 'cause no one stocks it. Today, fraud on wife's debit card, phone account changed without authorization ("Oh, that's a system update," yeah, and it would have cost me a bundle if I hadn't caught it...) Needless to say, way behind on what I'd planned to do....

So, a new amp is being built, but in the meantime, after seeing Uncle Larry shoot it out with his old ODR-1, I picked up the new 30th anniversary Nobels...
