Okay, we've got a couple dozen takers so far; all is good. I'm going to close this up on Wednesday, and here's how it will work. Those of you who have committed will Paypal me $169 per set you want, with your address in…
Okay, there seems to be enough interest in a group buy for me to persue this a bit more. I spoke to Sue at Avant, and she told me that we can't do the group buy for less than the normal dealer price of $169.00. That…
Okay, I should note at this juncture that I just discovered (and dispatched) a moth in my studio that was the size of a well-fed hummingbird. Now, that's not big for a bird, but for a moth, well, it's like fucking…
My in-laws are visiting all week, so I'll be traipsing all over the Pacific Northwest seeing the sights. As such, don't expect much postage this week. However, here's a sexy little number that showed up in my mailbox…
Dear Lazyweb: I need to rent a good recording amp for August 1st to the 8th. I'm thinking a Gibson GA-20 or a '66 Champ or something in that neck of the woods. Obviously, given my locale, the rental needs to take place…
MatrixSynth has probably already posted this, but if he did, I missed it. This is the fantastic Bernard Wilets film from 1983, Discovering Electronic Music. It is so fantasical awesome as to defy description. Break out…
I've never been a big fan of the Marx Brothers, and as such, I didn't realize what most of you probably already know: Chico Marx could give a fucking clinic on piano playing. Like, take you out back and learn you a…
Okay, so I got this Performer in the hizzle. It is actually in surprisingly good shape; only a couple minor problems, which I can certainly deal with for the price I paid! The resonance slider on the Brass section is…
It has become my lot in life to tirelessly pimp both Analogue Haven and Effector 13. Today, I have the opportunity to do both in one fell swoop. The Effector 13 Synth Mangler pedal, which initially brought that company…
I don't really have anything to say about these that Diamond Dave hasn't already said. "This baby is loaded with techno." (Thanks to Mr. McAnally, Diamond Dave's new best friend.)
Ode to Synthesizers By Josh Langberg Oscillators that stay in tune. Filter sweeps will make girls swoon. Black ebony, white ivory, 49, 61 and 88 key. All made up of circuit boards, if polyphonic you can play chords…
I scored a Crumar Performer off Craigslist for almost a yard sale price. How 'bout that? I'm gonna go pick it up tomorrow. I have a soft spot in my heart for string synths. I've owned an ARP Omni 2 and a Roland RS09 at…
Haven't done one of these in a while. Eric Frampton put up a bunch of pictures of his home studio here, and I thought it'd be a fun Monday Morning diversion for those of you chained to cubicles. Go have a gander. Eric…

Max Cooper has put up masses of photos from NAMM in this thread on Gearslutz. Pictured above is Esteban Jordan, the world's greatest accordian player. Or, at least what you'd tell him to his face, because he'll plain…
