Things Loved and Discovered in 2015:

1. Super Snark tuner with insurance: We only brought one on tour and would pass it around on stage. It became a game.

2. Patagonia “Houdini” windbreaker: Compacts into its own pocket. Wore it after the July 5 Dead show in Chicago as my phone was dying trying to meet up with our Uber. I felt like ! was in a new post-post-modern X-Men movie.

3. Playing Sou’wester with Michael Hurley in creepy October and getting a response in our room from the Lodge itself (lightbulb turned off) when we asked,” Do you think this place is haunted?”

4. Staying in a haunted house outside of Philly on our tour with Weyes Blood: The next morning the host asked if we had heard anything during the night like the little boy that stomps on the floor outside of your bedroom door.

5. Lee Baggett’s behind the head guitar solos: He actually plays better that way.

6. Danny Brown’s Noisey Vice video when he visits the Gathering of the Juggalos: It did not make me confident that I would fit in there as well as he did.

7. Meeting Doug from Built to Spill after seeing them cover a Michael Hurley song at the Treefort Music Festival (thanks Erik!).

9. Space Kamp’s “Red Hot Chili Peppers Fake Fan Fiction” zine (thanks Elverum!).

10. The Echovox EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) phone app and finding places on tour to use it! Such as that olde theatre in New Haven, Bard College Chapel, the haunted cave in Avila Beach, and the Big Sur Lighthouse.

10. Hydro Flask insulated canteen for keeping things hot or cold.

Little Wings’ latest album, Explains, was released by Woodsist in May.
