Gloomcookie! I just realized that I probably can't pimp an Amazon wishlist on Powells.com.
Do you have a wishlist like that at Powells? Or is there a link directly to your website?
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Aw, bummer. We don't have a list at Powells, and we don't have an official Web site (just a page on the UCLA site). Ah well. Thanks for trying :)

Well, gimme that link. I can shoot them that way and maybe they can find your wishlist.

I shouldn't be as entertained to receive e-mail from Jonathan Coulton about his nerdcore deliciousness as I am. Anyway, he's performing in Somerville on Friday.

Now I want a beach house. But without the dropped ceiling.

She's funny! Who knew? Well, I kind of suspected but it's not what I associate with her music.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A blog devoted to retro electronic instruments. [link]
Digital and analog - from cheap toys to $200,000 syhths. And a theremin.
There was a piece on Matrixsynth a couple of days ago about his favorite digital retro synth, the Con Brio ADS 200. This stunningly weird $30,000 monster was created in 1978 and only two were actually built. According to creator Tim Ryan, an earlier version -- the ADS 100 -- was used to generate sound effects for Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
The enormous ADS 200 required five microprocessors to perform 64 oscillator "additive synthesis, phase modulation, frequency modulation, nested phase and frequency modulation, and combinations of all modes." Unfortunately, users required a PhD or airline pilot's license to figure out the multicolored control panel.
