| Noll | The Civil War as a Theological Crisis | Amazon | \$20 | Paperback is fine. | |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gene Clark | No Other |
I prefer the original 1974 release, but I suppose the 4AD reissue is acceptable. |
|||
| American Football | LP 2 | polyvinylrecords.com/… | $22 | ||
| Chet Faker | Built on Glass |
Or as I prefer to call it, Boobs on Glass. |
|||
| Lunar Vacation | Inside Every Fig Is a Dead Wasp | keeledscales.com/… | $20 |
Use code |
|
| Lunar Vacation | Artificial Flavors EP | ||||
| Albert King | Born under a Bad Sign |
Will probably be very expensive. |
|||
| Albert King, Steve Cropper, Pops Staples | Jammed Together |
I have never seen a copy of this. Ever. |

| PiDP-10 | obsolescence.wixsite.com/… | $275 |
Awaiting notice from the creator to purchase. |
||
| Pine64 | PinePhone Pro Explorer edition | pine64.com/… | $400 |
A smartphone running mainline Linux. Definitely not ready to be a daily driver, but it should be fun to play with regardless. |
|
|
| Tiptop Audio | Stackcables | controlvoltage.net/… | $5 |
One can never have too many Eurorack patch cables. Red and up are the sizes I need. |
| Make Noise | MATHS | controlvoltage.net/… | $290 |
Will not be going into eurorack 1. |
|
| Molecule model kit |
Mostly so I can make models of psychoactive compounds as decorations and statement pieces. Because most interesting compounds are quite complex, I may also require some extra pieces. |
||||
| Electrosmith | Daisy Patch | ||||
| Detroit Underground | DU-INO | frgtwn.com/… | $250 |
A Eurorack shield for an Arduino Uno. https://detroitunderground.net/modular/du-ino/ |

Passive 6-input combiner using diode OR logic. |
|
| Intellijel | 7U performance case (104hp) | controlvoltage.net/… | $700 |
Quite lovely but a touch too expensive right now. |
|
| Tiptop Audio | Mantis | perfectcircuit.com/… | $350 |
Ugh, reappeared in the US just when I filled out my dual RackBrutes. |
|

| Acid Rain | Constellation | acidraintechnology.com/… | $550 | ||
|
| Acid Rain | Navigator kit | acidraintechnology.com/… | $50 |
Not going into eurorack 1. It could be fun to have a bunch of these in a skiff dedicated to CV processing. Also available as fully built modules, but the kits are half the price and twice the fun. |
| Empress Effects | ZOIA Euroburo + desktop adapter |
Might skip the desktop enclosure and go for a powered 4ms pod. I definitely don't need it, since I have the regular pedal version, but… |
|||
| Puffco | Plus | puffco.com/… | $90 | ||
| Senzel | Pet Rock | petrock.site | $35 | ||
| boredbrain | Xcelon | boredbrainmusic.com/… | $900 |
Hoo boy, if you thought the Hexmix was gorgeous (and expensive), then wait until you see this beauty. Should probably put it in its own dedicated case, like the 4ms Pod48X. |
|
| mki x es.EDU | DIY system | ericasynths.lv/… | $700 |
The DIY system, not the kit set. Not sure what I would do with it once I've assembled it. |
|

Eh, why not. |
