  1. Off Today...

    No posts today or tomorrow. I have relatives visiting. In the meantime, I suggest going here.

  2. I'll probably regret this one...

    Dear Lazyweb: I need one more multi-FX box. I'm extremely happy with my shiney new Eventide Eclipse (and at the risk of being both repetitive and boring, if you have the means, give Shawn a ring and get one your own bad…

  3. Shine on, you crazy diamond...

    Syd Barrett passed away. (Thanks to Ben Goldacre for the link to the video, which came several days ago, but takes on a special irony today.)

  4. Are you fucking kidding me?

    Take everything you ever knew about fucktards in the music industry and just throw it out the window. This guy trumps all. The bit that cracks me up is the "up to $900,000" music tour. (Music tour?) When SMG was at its…

  5. Analog Haven + A7 = happy Chris...

    Analog Haven, our favorite gear store, will have Adam A7 powered monitors in stock shortly (Friday? Monday? Not long.) In that shipment will be my pair, of course. I strongly suggest you run (don't walk) to the A7 page…

  6. Piano Shed...

    Sometimes, in piano recitals, the performer feels the need to drop some science. I personally prefer players that are more concerned with emoting than playing perfectly (think Glenn Gould in his most pilled-out versus…

  7. Speaking of miserable people...

    The above pictured is a beautiful example of the Buchla Music Easel, a rare bird if ever there was one. Normally, you'd be able to visit that Easel, which resided at the Music Technology Labs of Evergreen State College…

  8. And from the "cool but useless" file...

    Here's something for the Laptop Battle folks. $72.00 will get you a t-shirt with a working spectrograph on it. Good for the fashion-forward lead singer, too, so the soundman can see where the feedback is. Buy it here.

  10. Can I get a Viscount-off?

    Our good friend dm just wrote to inform me that he purchased the pictured Viscount Imperial off the 'bay for a buck fifty. That is one bad mother... (shut your mouth!) He's taking a collection for bell bottoms and a…

  11. Chandler Germanium EQ on the horizon...

    Chandler has another Germanium product on the way in the near future, the Germanium EQ. Here is the info sheet on the product. I'm one ASCAP check away from picking up the Germ pre; these will obviously make a happy…

  12. Wanted...

    Dear Lazyweb: Do you, fair reader, have a Lexicon 200? I need a high-resolution image of the front panel of a 200, flat-on. It doesn't have to be 3000 pixels wide or anything, but I can't find a good large image on the…

  13. SSL Love-Fest Continues...

    Don't you just want to hug those guys? I may up and move to Oxford if they keep on like this, just to be close. It seems they bought Sydec, those whacky Belgian DSP farmers. The press release is the typical marketeer…

  14. These kids make a good-lookin' pedal...

    Pictured is the Hot Hand Phaser/Flanger, from Source Audio. If you recall, they released a Wah effect in this form factor last year; you wear a little ring on your pickin' hand, and your hand motion controls the effect…
