“We come now to the Acme Spring-Powered Shoes. The remains of a pair of these purchased by Mr. Coyote on June 23rd are Plaintiff’s Exhibit D.

I shared this with Renfield a couple of weeks ago, but I’m posting it for you bastards too, as I’ve become addicted to this dry-witted Canadian’s YouTube channel. In this video, he somehow restores a double cutaway ’59 Les Paul Junior from a block of Swiss cheese. He describes everything he’s doing in great detail, so I recommend jumping ahead when things get slow.
How is the sound so good?
Audio engineer-core. Enjoy.

I’m enjoying these musicians and their collective Hendrix WTF takes.
