The latest Entertainment Weekly has an article on Bob Moog.
And his evil homunculus, Mini-Moog.
(Geddy Lee would like that joke. Okay, I can see how you might not consider that a ringing endorsement...)
He doesn't travel well. He's like fine shrimp.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

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

I wish I had bought one - oh, ten or twenty years ago.
But modern computer software can accurately replicate the Mini-Moog sound, right?

Depends how "accurate".
There's a new minimoog, by the way.

That's actually nice to hear - that an analog electronic instrument still can't be completely duplicated by a computer.

One of my bandmates swears by his software-on-a-laptop based synth, but I'm still a little suspicious. However, if you're recording digitally anyway, it's hard to argue that the original analog version will sound noticibly better. And in live club situations, the PA is usually crap so you wouldn't notice a difference there either.
Well, they don't look as cool. Gimme a laptop with wooden side-panels, and I might have to give in.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And the courts let him do that?

Yeah, the judge asks him if he "Swears to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," and then the guy clicks on his laptop and a creepy synthesised voice says "I do."

Don't know if people have heard about these . I saw something in ReadyMade about them and thought of all the old-school mix tape folk.
After finding that page today, I went to the link and found this , so sad.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I got the new kd lang CD today, and I love it. Her voice is so warm and rich. The CD makes me want to return to bed, pull the covers over my head and cry for a while.
