I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Hayden may be too modest to link to this (even though he doesn't play on these recordings), but here's his new band: [link]

Also, I am embarrassed to say that I only just now got the Zeno joke.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Thanks, Jon!

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

The Dream of the 90s is STILL alive in Portland.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Unplayable Piece Used to Test Player Pianos

It’s called “Circus Galop” or “Death Waltz”, and it’s used to test the performance of player pianos. No single person has ever played it…so far. But if we can put a man on the moon, surely we can genetically engineer a superhuman species that can perform it.

I'm guessing a human would need at least six hands to play it. Sounds cool and fun to watch.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The composer Conlon Nancarrow composed primarily on hand-punched player piano rolls creating music that humans couldn't play. I always thought that was so cool.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

For Beatle fans, in case you ever wondered what a Helter Skelter really looked like.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

That is a Helter Skelter, which is a British fairground attraction.

Hence, "When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide / Where I stop and I turn and then I go for a ride..."

get the heck out of here.

I am not sure what I thought a HS was, but it wasn't that.

That is going to give me nightmares.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I thought Helter Skelter had something to do with Charles Manson, so I am not sure which gives me worse nightmares.
