    The first part has to be the sweetest and funniest thing I've seen this week. And I honestly can't blame them, I pick wine (and quite a few other things) based on if I like the label...
    But also, I think this kind of "try something at semi-random" approach can be very interesting and also a way to get past a creative wall. I think we all get a bit too used to certain "go-to" options without trying what else can you do with the gear you have. This pedalboard is definitely a little weird, but the fun kind of weird and I'm pretty sure a song could come out of it.
