The names Leo Fender and Les Paul will be forever associated with the explosion of the electric guitar into popular culture. And rightly so.

Hey folks, today is #BandcampFriday, a great day to support artists and check out some new music. There’s a lot to find there, including (if I do say so myself) my collection from earlier this year. Hope you enjoy! mattmccleskey.bandcamp.com

Whoa.
That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today.
With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.

Hey, today is Bandcamp Friday, when the site waives its share of revenues and sends it to artists instead — and that means it’s a great day to discover new music…
There’s a lot there, including my latest, World Enough and Time. Check it out! mattmccleskey.bandcamp.com/album/world-...

For the past couple months, I've kept a running thread of albums on Bandcamp that benefit those affected by the LA wildfires. It's useful! But unwieldly.
So here's a way to collect them all in a mixtape — one track per album. It's Bandcamp Friday.
