Awesome session as always with @whiskeyandthedevil They always bring in some of the coolest tones! And Travis sounded great on the @jenkinsmartindrumco Putting a great drummer on a great drum kit = your album sounding next level!

Endless thx & love to Chi-Chi's Restaurant for letting me get to work with them on their new full length! They made an absolute ripper of an album and the 3 of them are some of the nicest/sweetest people around. Awesome folks making awesome music. Total win!

To say I had a blast with the always awesome #Fuzzysurf making their new double LP would be an understatement. This very well might be the most involved and elaborate album I’ve ever worked on yet. Forever grateful to them for trusting me with such a huge project. ❤️ youtu.be/7BMLD3t6LDE

Beyond in love with the #electricalaudio EApreq500 modules from Greg Norman. He surprised me with a personal touch of my studio name on the faceplates! They sound huge, clean, tons of headroom, and the low/high shelf eq really adds some extra weight and sparkle too. Thx Greg, you’re a wizard!

I assume anyone following me here are nice and kind people but just in case I need to weed anyone out already… Trumpers/MAGAtts/right wingers/racists/sexist/homophobic/transphobics/republicans keep walking.

Reframed some of the posters in the studio recently. So grateful for getting to play these shows over the years.

Still can’t believe I landed this one. I had no idea there was a poster from when Call Me Lightning played with Shellac back in the day. Albini made this poster and I’m so glad Todd kept it. I remember this show like it was yesterday. I will forever love this band. #stevealbini #shellac

Beyond stoked for this new guitar. Aluminum neck with TB500/JM pickups from Electrical Guitar Company and body from Warmoth Guitars and assembled by the always incredible Rusty Olson at Rock Haus Guitars. Plays and sounds amazing! Much love! ❤️❤️❤️
