For best results, Click on 'Tunes'. My Name is Alex, but you can call me anything you want. This is a collection of things I want to remind myself of. I'm an East-Coast guy in the pursuit of good songcraft and musicianship.
Danearys is just the baddest bitch.
The very first time I blazed and really listened to music while walking up fifth street in pittsburgh, I imagined vizualising the music in my head as lines and simple shapes, bouncing around.
I also imagined a black and white line drawn band playing the music, much like this gif. Pretty sick

2003 Fender Esquire Custom GT, nicknamed “The Bitchin’ Camaro”.
Dan Amrich of the band Palette Swap Ninja sent us in some beautiful shots a while back and he’s back with this particularly incredible specimen for us to to gaze at.
“Hi all! Been a while since I sent one of my guitars in, and I’ve been enjoying seeing everybody else’s, so here’s another one from my stash, thanks to my pro-photographer wife, KatrinAuchPhotography.
These were Korean-made models that were sold for just the one year, then inexplicably blown out on clearance for $300 each. (Mine is Chrome Blue, and the finish varied a bit from light to dark over models I’ve seen; they also made these in metallic dark red with a white stripe and in silver with a black stripe.) It’s an unusual Fender for a lot of reasons: Mahogany body, carved top, set neck, slim D-shaped neck profile, tummy cut, a lone volume knob…aside from the famous Telecaster shape, the hardtail bridge, and the single pickup configuration, it’s about as far as a 50’s Esquire as you can get! It was designed as a pop-punk monster, and it originally came with black chrome hardware and a black Seymour Duncan Invader SH-8. For personal preference, I dropped in a white SD JB SH-4, polished away the smoke tint from the tuners, and replaced the other parts with silver chrome. The stripe goes all the way around the body, even under the strap button. It’s extremely light and makes a joyful noise! You can still find these floating around eBay from time to time for under $500, so if you spot one, grab it — you won’t regret it.
Thanks for the daily dose of six-string lust. I’ll send in more stuff later!”
Looking forward to it Dan!
I got a free guitar this week. I rarely get to play my favorite song cause it’s a bitch to tune and my strings break half the time but now that I have a spare guitar Im gonna keep it in this tuning forever.

“It’s about falling in love, but also about what happens when you’ve long fallen out of love and those reminders are still there. You drive by them, these two buildings, and you look, and you realise that we really built that up. That we really built that love into these things, and for a long time afterward looking at them really made me feel sad; to see these empty buildings that I don’t go in to anymore. But then, as time goes on, they start to become kind of joyous in their own way: you can look at them and think ‘that love was great and these buildings still stand tall.”

GAME OF THRONES 90s ERA
(Jon Snow and Joffrey Baratheon)
What “Game of Thrones” would have looked like if the action had been set in the 90s?
What if swords, bows, spears and armors had been replaced with some NES guns, bats and tracksuits?
This is a fun project i ve been recently starting, imagining all the characters fighting for the throne in a 90s grunge/gangsta era.Working now on Daenerys. More characters coming soon….
