Happy weed day, weedians! This week we are giving thanks for good friends and the opportunity to create. We talk ToneTubes, recording to a click, Spinal Tap, the new records from Fiona Apple and Ed O’Brien, and a Gearbuds Spotify playlist. We also review a couple livestream events, including one for bassbois with Victor Wooten & Justin Chancellor, as well as screening That Thing You Do live with the cast. V neat.

The main topic involves Hank overcoming personal distress and a lack of focus by creating alone in quarantine with tools from Taylor, Universal Audio, Gibson, Neumann, Ableton, Shure, Warm Audio, Behringer, and GoPro, resulting in a new “acoustic prog pop folk” Travails track being foisted on the world.

Draw a line in the sand and focus on intention and sincerity.
