You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraud.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Your phone buzzes. You tap the notification This is what you see.

Still think it is a scam?

RSD and vinyl collecting can be so fun. Picked up The Dead Milkmen - Bucky Fellini yesterday and really scored. They pressed 5k of these in Yellow. Even the hype sticker says yellow.

So you can imagine my surprise when I opened the record and snagged 1 of 99 copies pressed in Orange. And the poster was autographed.

An amazing surprise. Really super cool! 🤘

One week until the new Pearl Jam. They have LONG been dedicated to vinyl. Way before it was back en vogue.

They have put out some of the nicest vinyl collections I've ever seen. This one is no exception. A beautiful overall package.

Must owns, imo.
