Orange Amp Front Door

This is how to paint your front door to look like an amp. I love my Orange Amp and had a brainwave to paint the front door to look like it. Good thing there’s no HOA in Surry. 

Supplies- orbital sander (80,120,180 grit), painters tape, paint, brush, and logo. 

Cost- about 60$ total 

Go to redbubble and search for the vinyl orange logo (I got the clear dicut large and it was 23$). 

Paint - Behr Premium Plus Paint & Primer in Crushed orange and Flat Jute from Home Depot. Also had some tricorn black for the corners of the amp 

This paint was sick. I did 5 coats of each color and it came out well (insane, but good). It dries quickly (finished it in one day) since it’s exterior acrylic. It is holding up well in the wind and rain. 

I like this shade of orange because it’s not quite rusty but it’s not neon construction orange either. It’s just right.

Neurosis band merch

I love Neurosis and they actually cranked out a new album this year. The first album I listened to was Through Silver in Blood. They were pivotal in the post/doom metal scene, influencing a ton of bands (too many to list).

Jam sessions pt 2

What’s been goin on the past few weeks? We got a couple more songs by The Sword down pact with vocals and we feel pretty good about them.  I’m working on memorizing the last few minutes of Gnaw. David still trying to teach me how to do successful bends because if they’re even a tad bit flat, he loses his mind a bit lol. “YOU HAVE TO BEND IT MORE LIZZIE!”

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

I started listening to Godspeed around the age of 13. My birthday present from Dad that year was a green iPod nano (that I still have) preloaded with 8g of postrock and postmetal. Their albums on there:  F#A# infinity - whole album is good- obviously dead flag blues was great.

Deadend Shrednecks Intro

Image
​David and I formed the “Deadend Shrednecks” in March 2026 and got the idea because we live on a deadend street. We started this band in memory of John Berlin and is dedicated to him. We wanted to learn some of our favorite songs we all used to listen to together. We're hoping to bring some good memories to people, as a lot of the bands we listened to provided so many core memories to us.
