Welcome to Quarter Notes, a wrap-up of what's keeping us entertained. Dive into our favorite reads and general obsessions.

Spring has arrived, but here at lmnl studios, we're savoring the last bits of the winter chill. Our intrepid leader, Troy Zeigler, shares his top picks to ease into the seasonal shift.

What Troy’s Loving This Month

1: Read

Dilla Time by Dan Charnas

Dan Charnas' book, Dilla Time, is a must-read for music lovers. Equal parts biography, musicology, and cultural history, it chronicles the life and legacy of J Dilla, a musical genius who revolutionized the sound of popular music for the twenty-first century and changed the way traditional musicians play.

2: Watch

The Revenant by Alejandro Inarritu

The Revenant' is as much a morality tale as it is the story of human perseverance in the face of the insurmountable—the perfect chilly movie for those not quite ready for Spring.

3: Drink

Iced Matcha Latte from Lo/Cal Coffee & Market

The caffeinated deliciousness of a matcha latte amps up any creative work session. A two-minute walk from the studio, Lo/Cal Coffee & Market is our local favorite.

4: Covet

Vintage Martin 2-17 acoustic guitars

Troy has two of these beauties in his personal collection, one dating back to 1925 and the other to 1929.

Both are Vintage Martin 2-17 acoustic guitars crafted from mahogany and produced between 1922 and 1938.
