Okay, they're not all hilarious, and I don't know where or when these are from, but some of them are pretty funny. And geeky.

It plays MP3s: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/9eb2/
Too bad it's so expensive, I could have great fun with it.

Notice there's a fixit tool available.
I use IE as little as possible anyway, but for some sites it works best.

The Bass Zone / 60s Guild Starfire I sighting
« on: February 22, 2008, 11:28:37 PM »
I stopped into South Austin Music Friday afternoon and along with the usual assortment of low price Chinese imports, there was a late 60s Guild Starfire I bass with the one Hagstrom Bisonic pickup in the bridge position. It's in pretty good shape, missing the treble side finger rest and the nitro has been eaten in places (probably by a chemical reaction with a case or gig bag). It's $1699 with gig bag (no original case). I have no idea if that's low, high or about right, but I wanted to pass it along in case anyone's interested. Unfortunately their website is minimal and they don't have a stock list online.
I'm not really a Guild fan but this one sure sounded nice and vintage-y with Roto tapewounds through a Roland cube amp.

The Outpost Cafe / Anyone remember PJ Proby?
« on: February 18, 2008, 06:35:47 PM »
Looks like he's in a bit of trouble: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/2008/02/18/pj-proby-in-50k-fraud-inquiry-86908-20323137/
He only made the Top 40 once in the US (Niki Hoeky) but he did have some, ermmm, exposure in the UK in the 60s. Here he is being introduced by some guys: http://youtube.com/watch?v=w2mIgL51qkg

The Outpost Cafe / A Modern Spiritual?
« on: February 06, 2008, 10:47:16 PM »
Myron Floren introduces Gale and Dale doing "one of the newer songs" and Lawrence Welk closes by calling it "a modern spiritual."
Ermmm....Mr. Welk, just because a song mentions "sweet Jesus" doesn't mean it's a religious number.
Guess they just didn't understand.

I subscribe to the Security Fix blog at the Washington Post. The latest post is a must-read if you use IE and a particular ActiveX control to transfer pics from Photobucket, etc. to MySpace (or Facebook, etc.).
