I'm still getting emails from people who think the Purity endrant is real. Do people not read closely? Is satire or humor dead? Do we all have sticks up our asses? By the way, we got something up at the site: http://www.tapeop.com/honestrecordings/ Yeah, everyone supposedly needs $*@#&ing "smileys"...

There is some kind of physics-nerd-rule, where as a string gets thicker for its length, it vibrates less like a string and more like a struck metal bar (with funny bad-sounding harmonics). So maybe floppy is better (that's what she said).

So far I only have a couple of apps that aren't free, but that will probably change (somehow the $1 or $2 prices seem higher when there is a ton of free ones out on the iTunes store?). I saw a couple of Theremins that look interesting. free: iTick - metronome (nice, also has the Italian names, I sho...

Anyone else playing around with these (or maybe you're actually making music)?
I wish somebody would port an old version of a sequencer to it, or maybe something like Band in a Box. Wait and see, I guess.

Maybe name tags (TOMB and/or the tape reel logo, screen name) would help?
I thought about going, but still kind of getting back to reality after vacation.

Better than the Lewisohn books?

If you love this song there is a whole pile of other terrifyingly bad but catch as hell 80's Canadian music that you might love. I see your Saga and raise you Trooper, April Wine, Molly Hatchet, Triumph, Max Webster, Goddo, Loverboy, Aldo Nova, Rough Trade, The Parachute Club, Luba, and the Spoons....

My music room is bright yellow, about like the banners on this page.
