It Glows
Remember the heat treated pool noodle experiments from last year? I’ve been fiddling around with them again, adding a string of LED lights inside the central core of the noodle.

El Santo de Mayo 2017!
Back in 1992, Southern Culture On The Skids released a vinyl EP called Santo! Sings on the now long defunct Zontar Records, in both black and transparent yellow pressings.
