There's one down the street from me that's got a Maestro/Gibson Les Paul Jr w/ the hardcase for 120 bucks, but it's a righty and has been modded already. Nonetheless, that one has been *calling for me* softly in the background, too.

Finally had to step away from the computer last night before I totally lost control and blew way more than my budget.

Started going through reverb.com and a couple others last night looking for a cheap lefty strat copy to screw around with and do some parts projects on and let me tell you- big mistake. I've now got the "I need another guitar BAD" jones right now and I'm trying to control myself here

Ah this is pure gold. I worked at an AM station in Saskatchewan in the early 90's. They let me play whatever I wanted between 6 and 9pm as long as it was classified as rock. So to me I heard "okay, a fuck ton of Mudhoney"

Now that AM is littered w/ all-talk and all sports-talk stations and little else it's crazy to remember AM stations not only playing top 40, but straight-up rock music too:

WIXY 1260 was my station (big shout-out to Mike Reinari and King Kirby) before I hit my teens and switched to WMMS and M105. Thom McAnn shoes sponsoring this is wild.

Remembering Thelonious Monk on his birthday 🎂
📷 Erich Auerbach, 1961

"Monk is really making use of all the unused space around jazz, and he makes you feel that there are plenty of unopened doors."
- Paul Bacon

A closeup of Monk breathing out cigarette smoke. He’s wearing a cloth cap.

Project ‘61 was “Moral Decay in Our Society”. It would be amazing and ambitious for CBC to reboot a 2025/26 version. @kathleenpetty.bsky.social

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

For the lunchtime crowd, my piece on how this iconic photo happened.

Luke Epplin @lukeepplin.bsky.social · 1d

Seventy-seven years today, one of baseball's most iconic photos was taken. It features Steve Gromek and Larry Doby embracing after the Cleveland Indians' Game 4 win in the 1948 World Series. But what if the photo had been staged? Here's my newsletter on that: lepplin.substack.com/p/the-stagin...
