El Parche!
It got HEAVY today!
Noel Waggoner & Balan Villanueva of Heavy Light Records stopped by today with a box of the rarest grooves! Some 45’s that go for $1100!! I’m talking RARE! Some of the records didn’t even have a label! It was a blast. Hardcore record collectors are part record freak and private eye. I love hearing Noel’s tales of finding records. He is one of the best. I’m stoked he started Heavy Light to share his finds with the World.
we won’t bow down
what would willie do?
Ian McLagan
I made it out to Happy Hour at The Lucky Lounge last night. Ian McLagan & The Bump Band (with Scrappy Jud Newcomb on Guitar) played. Ian was in a little band from England you may have heard of called The Small Faces
Here’s the Nick Lowe interview I got to see live!!

Line Magnetic Audio
Coming soon! Line Magnetic Audio. LM Audio are a highly respected Chinese company, not your typical “Chi-Fi”. They make very nice gear that won’t break the bank. They’re also known for amazing reproductions of classic Western Electric gear. Horns, field coils, power supplies, etc… my future looks dangerous. The behemoths on the left are the LM-1 211 SET mono’s for a measly $80K.. yeah, I’m not getting those..
I’m getting the 216ia. It’s a KT88 push pull amp. 22 watts per channel in triode, 38 watts per channel in ultra linear. Remote controlled. Bias adjustable with built in meter. 4, 8 and 16 ohm output taps. Point to point wiring used throughout. Comes with a tube cage. $1850
