    Kings Road Merch vs Sony Music and Did Jim Lill Just Prove Preamps Don't Matter?

    Sony's trying to bulldoze a union at a punk merch shop in Minneapolis right after workers voted to unionize, and the timing that's... not subtle. Also, Jim Lill dropped a video saying preamps basically don't matter, and the entire audio engineering internet collectively lost it.

    Höfner Saved, Dean Goes Bankrupt, JHS's Fumble, Teenage Engineering's TP-7 | Gear News Roundup

    This week in gear: Höfner gets rescued from bankruptcy while Dean Guitars' parent company files for Chapter 11 the same week, opposite outcomes. What does it say about where the guitar industry's headed in 2026?Also covering: JHS Pedals' wild story about accidentally putting a rare Dumble boost circuit into a DIY kit (now an $89 standalone pedal), and Teenage Engineering's TP-7, a $1,499 tape-style field recorder, while not a new product, blew my mind how much it costs. We talk about whether it is really worth the cost.

    Worst Sounding Albums That Actually Changed Music (Our Top 5 Picks)

    This week on The Lost State Show, Trey and Drew each bring their own list of five albums that are objectively rough from a production standpoint, but somehow became influential in their own way. We're talking blown out mixes, hard-panned stereo disasters, bedroom drum machines, and basement recordings that launched careers. From the Beatles era stereo panning that'll throw your ears off to DIY home recordings that built cult followings. If it sounds bad but hits different, it's on the list. Ten albums total, two completely separate lists. Pull up a seat.

    Fender Is Suing the Entire Guitar Industry

    Fender is coming for the entire guitar industry. We're breaking down the Fender Stratocaster copyright lawsuit, how a default judgment against a Chinese AliExpress seller turned into cease and desist letters aimed at boutique builders, major brands, and the future of the S-style guitar as we know it. LSL Guitars, PRS Silver Sky, Suhr, Ibanez, Harley Benton, nobody is safe. We talk the history of Fender's failed 2009 US trademark attempt, why this German court ruling is shakier than Fender's lawyers want you to think, and what it means for guitar players and builders worldwide.

    When Bands Should Know to Quit. Reunion Tours, Cash Grabs & The Nostalgia Industry

    Streaming pays nothing, so legacy acts are cashing in on nostalgia. Panic! at the Disco reunited a year after their "final show." Smashing Pumpkins announced another tour. Dez from Black Flag did a reunion with Black Flag. When We Were Young Festival built an entire business model on emo nostalgia. We're talking about when reunions are genuine versus transparent cash grabs, random album anniversaries (10, 12, 16, 20 years, no pattern, just marketing), and which bands should've stayed dead.

    We Investigated the Angine de Poutrine Conspiracy (The Feet Don't Lie)

    We put on our tinfoil hats and went full X-Files mode on Angine de Poitrine, the mysterious masked duo from Quebec that the internet can't stop talking about. Are they secretly members of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard? We investigated. The evidence is compelling. The feet are damning. The toes do not lie.Yes, we found proof they received Canadian government arts funding. Yes, King Gizzard is all Australian. We didn't hear that. The conspiracy stands.Also discussed: microtonal guitar, Eastwood Guitars, Flying Microtonal Banana, and some very suspicious toes."
