Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

Sometimes we get vintage gear in that still has the original manuals, like this Yamaha YTA-95 amplifier. I think they’re trying to put the Dead to shame with that wall of sound 😜 I wonder what the band’s name is?

I could walk over to the museum and see it right now if I wanted. One of the few truly great things about this town. wisconsinart.org/collections/...

The Flagellants by Carl von Marr

“The painting depicts a procession of flagellants walking past the Siena cathedral. Despite the grim subject, the composition is rather stately, with the participants almost in parade form as they make their way along the street. The palette is restricted, with a strong emphasis on black and white, yet rich and even warm in the architecture that frames the scene. The bubonic plague, or Black Death, that swept through continental Europe in the fourteenth century, decimated Siena in the summer of 1348; an estimated 50–60 percent of residents died. Medical ignorance, cramped, dirty living conditions, and expansions in trade routes all exacerbated the effects and spread of the pandemic. The terrified populace decried the existence of God as well as the church’s ability to intercede against the scourge.

Groups of flagellants emerged, claiming to offer a means of salvation. Banding together for thirty-three days to symbolize the thirty-three years of Christ’s life on earth, they roamed from city to city enacting violent performances several times a day that drew huge crowds. The groups also promoted the notion that Jews were responsible for the plague, which encouraged vicious pogroms throughout Europe. The anti-Semitic beliefs heightened the fear and hysteria—and likely even spread the disease; most cities and towns eventually barred the flagellants.

The trauma of the plague played out in people’s psyches for years after it had run its course. Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron (1353) graphically details the nightmarish conditions in Florence in stories told by women and men who fled to the countryside. Italian representations of the “Dance of Death,” St. Sebastian, and the Madonna della Misericordia (Madonna of Mercy) proliferated, the first as a cautionary reminder, the latter two invoking the help of intercessors against the contagion.”

@floorbaba.bsky.social @daff.space @hex-a-decimal.bsky.social I defer to your respective expertises on this. The shop I work at had someone drop this thing off for appraisal/consignment. Should I jump on this if the price is right?

That’ll buff right out. 2000 Epiphone Les Paul Standard 5-string bass. Quickly discontinued due frequent tailpiece breaking and the bridge warping; a fundamentally flawed design combined with low-quality parts (allegedly). Nobody makes a replacement and the usual Hipshot solution is ~$300.

Made for only one year (2000) and quickly discontinued (many believe due to the low quality of the tailpiece and bridge).

Is this what The Apples in Stereo meant by Fun Trick Noisemaker? Anyway, time to get bleepy and/or bloopy.

Custom-made imitation Les Paul Fretless! I have no idea who made this but there are a smattering of listings online in the $200-$400 range. My favorite part is the back of the headstock - accurate enough to Gibson styling but with a Made in China sticker slapped over the MADE IN USA engraving.

Silvertone 367.12459 I think I can say with some degree of confidence that it was made sometime between 1959-1968, but I can’t narrow it down more than that. 367 is the model, I assume 12459 is the serial. It’s in remarkably good condition given its age; it’ll be even better with flats.
