There used to be a shade of paint called 'Mummy brown' that was made with ground up bits of mummies. Alas, it is now discontinued.

Speaking of ST, it was yesterday when I found out Z Boy Jim Muir and Suicidal's Mike Muir are brothers.

I always assumed at some point Rickenbacker was a UK company. Not sure why. They are not and never were.... Mind Blown...
Maybe because they were used by lots of British bands?
Modern ones come with a small American flag sticker, which many buyers appear to be very concerned with keeping on the pick guard.

Found this on Reddit this morning, pretty fucking cool. Google Earth, but with radio stations. Tune in to different radio stations all over the world by rotating the globe.


Currently listening to some golden oldies on Arctic Outpost AM1270 Longyearbyen, Norway

Edit: LOL @Russia. Daddy Putin must have a thing for Techno.

For those interested, I thought this was pretty cool so I had a look and yep - there's an app for that (at least for iOS). So, if you want to listen to something from the other side of the planet while on the go, you can.
