I LOVE HOW THIS SHIT WORKS: Couple days back I get an email from Ivan. Never met him. He works in a shop where there’s all sorts of vintage electronic packaging stashed away. So he snapped me some shots and sent them over. I picked seven gems for you guys to see, and here they are. So good. The DDC loves electronic packaging! Of all sorts and eras. Keep ‘em coming folks, and holy shit, Ivan, thanks!!!

LOVE THE SPIRIT HERE: Fellow Michigander Geoffrey Holstad make some boss stuff. Dig in here. So much Northwoods greatness in there.

Makes me want to get outside, and, reminds me of the time I burnt the shit out of my mouth on hot cocoa, when I was eight or something, in Tobermory, Ontario! Dad told me to wait, and I didn’t wait. Camp Vibes!

GOD BLESS ALL THE TRIBES ON EARTH: Even those Juggalos! Daniel Cronin embeds himself with these wild homeboyz, all over the nation. He caught up with them here in Portland, and you’ll find proof within this Faygo-drenched link right here.
