We also met the incredibly cool Gina Gershon, Donal Logue, and artist Stephen Blickenstaff (who did the cover for The Cramps Bad Music for Bad People) #TheCramps #GinaGershon #DonalLogue

We took a break from writing and recording this weekend to meet the cast of one of our favorite horror movies, George Romero's Day of the Dead. They signed our vinyl soundtrack. #DayoftheDead #GeorgeRomero #vinyl #horror

Springtime photography today - used my Nikon with a new 67mm kaleidoscope filter. Snapped our faerie figurine affixed to a tree & one of our gnomes chillin' in the backyard. #psychedelic #springtime #gnome #fae #faerie #Photo #Photosky #Photography #Photographysky

Listening to the fab Jackie Shane. As a kid, my dad discovered Jackie listening to Canadian radio on the border. He gave me this 1967 pressing of Live! on Caravan records after I liked the "Any Other Way" 45rpm he played me in high school. Original record store sticker on cover 😎 #vinyl #musicsky

I'm excited my oddball weird short story "The Strawberry Witch" was just published in Raconteur's Wyrd Warfare: Band of Monsters edited by Chris DiNote, Colonel USAF (ret.) It's about Tommy, a B-24 radioman, encountering an apparition. #writersky #weirdfiction #authorsky #b24 #booksky

Had a blast at the Yardbirds concert in Old Saybrook. Met one of our musical heroes, Jim McCarty, drummer and vocalist extraordinaire with the Yardbirds and Renaissance. What a kind soul. We chatted a little about Keith Relf. #Yardbirds #Vinyl #musicsky

We're working on a few projects, including two songs that will be featured in indie films & pressed to a 45rpm this summer... the bigger news is we've been writing and recording a new album that will be released this fall. #MusicSky #Indie #Psychedelic #newmusic #garagerock

#31GreatWomenMusicians #MusicChallenge #vinyl Nico - Chelsea Girl - 1967 - Verve Records - lush, beautiful melancholy album. Sad she didn't like the finished production, but it is a nice slab of folksy baroque pop. #musicsky

Met up with an old fan and friend who's been going to my shows since before The Striped Bananas (starting circa 2006). Nice to catch up and chat over some Indian food. The weather was perfect for shades ☮️ #oldfriends #indiemusic

Very saddened to hear about the passing of Larry Tamblyn of The Standells. Fabulous keyboardist and sometimes lead singer. Rock on Larry, thank you for the music. #LarryTamblyn #TheStandells #Vinyl #musicsky #garagerock

Found a gag ad in a 1948 magazine for Atomhicola, which seems straight out of the video game Fallout. Original Nuka Cola? #atomic #Fallout #1940s #nukacola
