Whoa. It’s November. Weird, right?

This week the buds effectively close out spooky month, this time with a Harry Nilsson ghost story and Ace Frehley getting zapped on stage. And since this is in fact a gear show for musicians, we also stick to what we know and get deep into the world of knobs, pots, and potentiometers (spoiler: those are the same thing).

Also discussed: chasing a vintage White Falcon, EHX’s new Intelligent Harmony Machine pedal, CME visits, Nathaniel Rateliff’s Reverb shop and Princetons, Mannequin Pussy, Les Paul’s number 1 guitar, and the legend of Ozzy Osbourne.

I’m auditioning for your friendship.
