Billie Eilish – Hit My Heartstrings Hard and Soft

JD Blog / By / , , ,

Apparently, Dave Grohl was alerted to Billie Eilish by his daughters and claimed he had never seen a phenomenon in the music industry like this since, well, Nirvana – when Nevermind broke. Similarly I’m going to thank my daughter’s as well and also agree with Dave. I have become a fan. Why? Unlike Taylor Swift and her (in my opinion) unethical approach in having a team of writers crank out hits…. Billie and her brother […]

MIZU JAPANESE – FIRST LOOK – SOUTHPARK

JD Blog / By / , , , ,

Chef Michael Chanthavong really knocked this menu out of the park. He rolled out a bunch of plates for myself and editor Cathy Martin of South Park Magazine. Everything was delicious!! From meat, to seafood to veggies! At Mizu, guests can grab a seat at the counter and watch behind a glass partition as the chefs prepare dishes such as robata-grilled oysters topped with yuzu corn butter, panko and spicy aioli.

Perfect for our busy family! The Febreze Fade Defy PLUG is a new mass plug-in with built-in microchip technology that digitally

1996 Fender Jagstang Paint Job + Humbucker Install

JD Blog / By / , , , , , ,

I have had this 1996 Kurt Cobain signature model Jagstang since I was in High School. I have bought and sold a lot of guitars along the way but this one was never up for sale. They were only issued in Fender Sonic Blue and Fiesta Red and produced 1994, 1995–2001, 2003–2005. Most folks prefer Sonic Blue (as did I) but they became increasingly rare and expensive. I called upon by buddy Rob Broyhill to

Mindshift – Backlight 26L Camera Bag

JD Blog / By / , , ,

My whole life my father and most of my colleagues have all used Lowepro camera bags. I decided to branch out for a new bag after a lens fell out of the side of my Lowepro. The fact that this Mindshift bag loads from the backside, (which presses against your back) was very appealing. It seemed like much less error for things falling out, which proved to be true over the past year. It also

The Orange Micro Terror

JD Blog / By / , , , ,

So basically my entire life I’ve only played metal and hard rock. I’ve had my trusty Marshall JCM900 and 4×12 cab since 2002. I’ve used that for basically every live show and recording session ever since. Due to this wonderful pandemic, rock ‘n’ roll shows have not been happening and cranking up the Marshall every day to jam at my house is a little bit overkill, so I was looking for something smaller. I always
