As West-Coast gentrification washes a wave of loud and gritty garage bands away from San Francisco, Cool Ghouls stand strong. Just like the most revered, political records of the 60s and 70s, the third album Animal Races channels the past, the present and the future with an authentically fresh psych-rock take on American society through its own neo-cosmic language.

San Francisco has always been great and hopefully always will be but these days there are things we despise,” tells Ghoul guitarist and vocalist Pat McDonald, “the lifestyle The Bay once afforded artists has been decimated. This gold-rush of the tech industry is forcing prices up and it’s been a flood of bullshit. Some people are being forcibly displaced, others are disheartened and leave by choice. Our song ‘Never You Mind’ is a reminder to the creative community not to roll over. San Francisco isn’t dead until you let it die in your heart.

It’s impossible to separate Cool Ghouls from their adopted hometown. Whether playing dollar dice games and shooting pool or stepping out for a walk through the Californian hills, this is a band who swapped their young lives in stripmall suburbia to settle in the Shaky City of their electric heroes. The place where Gram Parsons’ Flying Burrito Brothers unwittingly inspired lesser-known followers of the Cosmic American gospel to commit readings to tape, Cool Ghouls slot right in the city’s rich musical lineage. Pat M, with Pat Thomas (bass/vocals), Ryan Wong (guitar/vocals), and Alex Fleshman (drums), made their own celestial pilgrimage to their place of worship and have established themselves as one of the city’s brightest young bands playing, against the backdrop of a chaotic big city, a laid-back psych-rock sound for the here and now.

Those who fell for the raw, primitive sound of the band’s 2014 album A Swirling Fire Burning Through the Rye (Empty Cellar Records / Burger Records) recorded with local hero Sonny Smith of Sonny And The Sunsets, will be pleasantly surprised by the Ghouls’ latest evolution in sound. This time recorded with melodic maestro Kelley Stoltz in his backyard Electric Duck studio, the album was mixed and mastered by Mikey Young (Total Control / Eddy Current Suppression Ring), and features full-colour artwork by Shannon Shaw of Shannon and The Clams.

Animal Races is the harvest of work we created between last year’s tours, working in bars, record stores and coffee shops,” says Pat M. “We chose the title because the song’s lyrics are a broad characterization of society. So any track on the album, whether it be about love, personal growth, death or whatever, takes place in the setting of the ‘animal races’ “.

Commenting just as much on the individual’s place in society as the San Francisco community itself, the theories of ‘self-actualization’ and ‘anima’ by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung about achieving individual potential pervade ‘If I Can’t Be The Man’ and ‘Material Love’. Whether time-hopping from the summer of love on ‘Sundial’ or channelling the freewheeling feeling of The Grateful Dead and Canned Heat through loud guitars, acid riffs, party screams, and stacked-as-f*ck three-part vocal harmonies, each of Animal Races’ 11 tracks bring the four-piece’s electrifying live performances to life.

‘Time Capsule’ is about exactly this, explains Pat T; when you replay a recorded track, that little chunk of time is brought into the current moment. This is especially true of a recording of a live performance. ‘Time Capsule’ was designed to open the door for improvisation and is the encapsulation of just one version of this song, each version specific to the one time we play it. It’s going to change a lot as we play it over the years.”

For a band who, just like society and the world itself, is constantly evolving, Cool Ghouls are the perfect antidote for San Francisco’s current state of mind, providing the real-life soundtrack whilst not letting the city’s culture be burned to the ground.

Handles Photo-Quality Prints, Versatile Connectivity
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer, Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
I've had this printer for a whole year now. I was on a severe budget, looking for a photo-quality printer that didn't require Wifi in this digital age- because I quite frankly can't afford my own Wifi connection. My rink-a-dink laptop had to be set up with the software at my library, and an extra cord purchased. All that said, I mostly print from my phone, because the software app is a bit easier to ensure that I get the highest quality setting. Laptop loves to be a snot about it. The blutooth feature, or "wifi direct", has a way about it, and as soon as you figure out what it wants, it gives minimal problems. It functions exactly as if a printer had wifi on it, believe it or not. What sold me on this model was the ability to do all of that, and adjust for different situations, seeing as other brands DEMAND constant wifi connectivity (lookin' at BROTHER, maybe Canon, too), and the long lasting ink tanks- I've printed hundreds of pages, and being a gothic/horror artist, at least a good part of the time, black is the only color even half gone. What horrified me the most about printer-shoping dropping a lot of money (hundred plus is a lot over here, man) and not getting the prints to look like my work. Well, fear not. The attached pictures are why I made this review, to hopefully ease the anxiety of others. I make digital paintings, and use high DPI for high quality, and also the cutest micro-stickers you've ever seen. Prints come out clear, even if they can sit in the tip of my finger. Yes, there are probably better printers. Maybe they're faster, and have even better connectivity, and have more bells and whistles. I specifically did not want to pay for those things, so, I'm very happy there's options. It's not perfect, no, because every now and then, I get what I call a "special edition", where my printer has decided to multi-color barf out the last third of the page. One time it randomly printed in black and white. Well, that's no big deal, my stuff tends to look great in monochrome. Every now and then I get a low quality print; things just look a bit fuzzy. I'm not happy about that, but, you clean the heads, and print something simple and toony, and it has never done it twice in a row. Alignment has been off only one time, and I put the printer away after every session. It occurs to me that people pay good amounts of money for printers that do that sort of thing anyway, so... Printers gonna printer, no matter where you try to hide. Overall, I'm happy and relieved. I hope it lasts me a good long time. (Streetratt on Kofi, by the way.🖤 )

Amazing value and performance — perfect everyday home printer!
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
After lots of research and comparing ink costs, I finally purchased the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank with Scan and Copy and it has been one of the best tech investments I’ve made for my home setup. Whether I’m printing documents, photos, homework, or creative projects, this printer delivers consistently reliable results without the usual stress over ink costs. Right out of the box, setup was surprisingly easy. Epson’s app guided me through the wireless connection, and within minutes the printer was connected to my Wi-Fi and ready to go. The initial filling of the ink tanks took a few extra minutes, but the included bottles were clearly labeled and simple to use without mess. The print quality has exceeded my expectations for an all-in-one home printer: - Documents: Crisp, clean text — perfect for school assignments, work documents, letters, and recipes. - Photos: Bright, colorful prints with decent detail (especially when using good-quality paper). - Graphics & Crafts: I’ve printed worksheets, planner pages, labels, and even small art pieces — and everything looks sharp and vibrant. - The speed is solid for its class. It’s not a professional office machine, but it doesn’t feel slow for everyday use. Cartridge-Free Ink — Game Changer This is the real highlight: - Cartridge-free Supertank System: Instead of tiny cartridges that run out in no time, this printer uses large refillable ink tanks — which means massive savings on ink long-term. - Low Ink Cost: You really feel the savings after your first few refills. I used to go through cartridges quickly, but now I only refill every few months — and even then, it’s affordable. The included ink bottles provide a ton of pages, and you can easily track levels through the transparent tanks so you’re never caught off guard. The wireless setup works smoothly. I can print from: - My phone (via Epson app, AirPrint, or Google Cloud Print) - My laptop or tablet - Directly via Wi-Fi without cables No more plugging USB in every time — super convenient. The scanner is quick and easy to use: - Scan photos - Scan documents straight to email or phone - Make copies without touching a computer The scan quality is clear and accurate — ideal for digitizing receipts, forms, or school worksheets. Pros: - Huge savings on ink long-term - Excellent print quality for text and color graphics - Easy wireless setup and mobile printing - Transparent tanks — see ink levels at a glance - Scanner and copier work well for everyday tasks - Quiet operation compared to older printers Minor Notes - Initial setup takes a bit longer because of ink filling — but it’s worth it. - Photo prints are good for casual use, though super high-detail photography will still look better with dedicated photo printers or labs. - No automatic document feeder (ADF) — so multi-page scanning requires manual pages. The Epson EcoTank ET-2800 has transformed my printing experience. It’s affordable to run, produces great everyday prints, and the wireless features make it super convenient for the entire household. If you’re looking for a home printer that won’t drain your budget on ink, this one is absolutely worth it. Whether you’re printing school documents, work files, planners, photos, or craft projects, this printer does it all with ease — and saves you money over time. Highly recommended for home use — practical, efficient, and budget-friendly!

Excellent Investment!
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
I have had this printer for two years now. I purchased it to do invitations and signs for my Daughter's baby shower. I designed an invitation, printed more than sixty copies with address labels, return address labels, numerous signs, games and raffles tickets. I used it again for the Baby's 1st Birthday same amount of items. I have not had to fill the colored ink in over 2 years. I have filled the black. My husband also uses it for work and I've printed several other projects including pictures. Everything has always exceeded my expectations. For the price you get excellent quality. I find the software easy to use and update.

Mouse Pad was as described
Number of Items: 11
Sublimated perfectly. Make sure to use lint roller prior to sublimating as the material had lint and little particles that you don't want on your print.

Best sublimation mousepads I have tried
Number of Items: 11
I have tried a few different brands of mousepads, but have found these to be the best quality. They are thicker and sturdier than ones I have previously ordered. They were easy to sublimate on and held the color well. As others have noted, they come individually wrapped in resealable plastic bags which is really nice if you plan to gift them or sell them. I will be sticking with this brand as the quality is superior to other brands I have used.
