Can’t wait to have a few cold ones on their patio!
In keeping with our using the musical medium for other artistic ventures, here’s a link to an article of an art show held at a record store. Instead of canvas, these artists actually use the record as the backdrop. Pretty neat, although I wish they had kept more of the record’s spirit – it’s not immediately apparent – except to us vinylheads, that is – that these were lps that form the backdrop. Anyways, here’s the link.
Enjoy Easter, however you may celebrate it.
Got a couple old turntables that aren’t worth fixing up? Here’s a cool arts project to make a drawing machine out of them. And if you’re not sure your old turntables are fixable or not, bring ‘em by. We do turntable repair…hint, hint.
Be sure to watch the video – it’s pretty cool

Here’s an interesting article on the earliest recorded sounds from Boing Boing
Apparently the first recording device was just that – it recorded the sound waves, but there was no way of playing them back – you just got to look at the pretty sound wave on paper. There’s an excellent they recommend too…here’s the amazon link
Enjoy your weekend!
