In this episode, I give my thoughts on the Fender Stratocaster debacle, then hopefully win you back by talking about new music from Devin Townsend, Foo Fighters, Violet Grohl, Bruno Mars, and Yungblud. I had fun with this one, and I get all worked up a couple of times. Hope you enjoy it!

Photos: (Several of them came out a little hot this week and I didn't have time to do retakes. Sorry.)
 |
| Here's the cover photo. I found a way to get my old logos into Canva, contrary to my rant at the end of the episode...so it's going to be okay! |
 |
| I was going to post several photos of my Strat, but it's dusty and dirty and needs to be cleaned up...so I'm just posting the headstock. |
 |
| Meet the new Yungblud. Same as the old Yungblud. Like almost exactly the same...it's just the album, plus like an EP that you don't really need unless you're super into it. |
 |
| See? This photo is kinda washed out and weird. Bad lighting. Also bad cover design, because even with it blown out like this, the fonts are too dark and whispy to read. Good album, though. |
 |
| I've been meaning to get into Bruno Mars for like 10 years. Finally did. How'd it go? Listen to the episode! |
 |
| The new Foos has a slightly different cover depending on where you bought it. I got mine on Amazon, because that was the easiest option for me. So it looks like this. I like this better than the yellow copies that went to indie stores, anyway! |
 |
| The new Devin Townsend album clearly means a lot to him, and you can tell he put his all into the arrangements and writing. Wish I could say the same about the mix...but it's otherwise a really good album. |
