I almost bought this at Pacific Stereo back in the late 70's.
Problem was, it was twice the amount of money I was willing to spend.

When MP3's became a thing , I bought this for my truck.

I cant tell, is this a Photoshop? or did AI actually make real art?


Maybe its just a photo of Pizza the Hutt's living room?

Pizza the Hutt

―Vinnie to Pizza[src] Pizza the Hutt was a half-man, half-pizza crime lord. While flying in the Eagle 5, Lone Starr and Barf got a call from Pizza the Hutt and his subordinate Vinnie, demanding 1,000,000 Spacebucks. Starr and Barf took a job to rescue Princess Vespa from the clutches of the...

Why are people so fucking stupid? Some people aren't fit to exist. I was just looking up baked beans on amazon to see what was available from brands I may not have heard from. I click on Batchelors beans(Ireland's favorite since 1935!), and read this 1 star review...

Use by date not clear out of date​

I have to dump these, the date isn’t clear. In Ireland 11/02/2011 means 11th February 2022, in the States it means November 2nd 2022. These were made in Ireland , always have been since 1935, Valero foods make them. These are out of date . These will make someone sick or worse kill someone. Very disappointed as I’m living in US now and was looking forward to them.

Fucking hysterics much?! Disregarding the typo(Are they even literate, or is this a thousand monkeys thing?), out of date canned beans aren't going to make anyone sick, and they certainly aren't gonna kill anyone. They could be rusting through the can, and it would probably be ok if you were starving to death, though they'll taste like can.

I hope nobody gave them a refund, and they dumped the beans in the trash. Stupid should be painful. They should feel lucky some Irish blokes didn't showup at their door to kick them in the balls(if they have any. Sex was unclear based on name)

On that same note, I got my harmonium from ebay, one of the feedback entries was neutral because they thought it should cost less. I get that English is probably their second language, but if you think it's too expensive... don't fucking buy it?

Yeah, they do have some presence in Celtic music, I first encountered them when I saw Julie Fowlis using one. She's fantastic.

I got it from a FB pizza group. I just Googled pizza couch, and found this photo posted in a FB group called Cursed AI. Looks pretty good though, hard to tell anymore.

That's fanfuckingtastic! I love anything with a drone. Bagpipes are one of my favorite instruments. At one time I had plans to build a hurdygurdy, but like a lot of my plans, it never happened :^/

That's still on my want list too, I'm not sure if I have the patience to build a Nerdy Gurdy, but it's not entirely out of the question.
I tend to favor drones a bit when I'm just solo jamming on the synth for my own entertainment.
The harmonium has (depending on model) these little knobs on the front kinda like a cigarette vending machine that you can pull out for drones (others control which set of reeds you're using, and some have a tremolo knob).

Fond memories of Jet Moto 2:

Used to have some cheap brand driving wheel. It would feel awful trying it in driving games. Just didn't feel right and didn't make the car easier to drive. But it worked wonderfully in Moto Racer 1. That always felt crazy to me, enjoying a motorcycle game with a driving wheel.

The French authorities clearly enjoy this kind of circus, in combination with all sorts of refugees and scammers. I was in Paris thirty years ago, the shocking difference is that today it looks a lot like some country in the Middle East.

Not much to say here anymore.

Got my harmonium last Tuesday, took it to a house jam/mini-concert Sunday, it was well-received and someone specifically invited me to attend another with the harmonium on Friday. Not sure if I will, would be fun, but my band is filling in last minute for another band that cancelled on a 3 band show tomorrow, so we're rehearsing tonight since we haven't played together in a few months.

LOL, guess the other band is cursed, they had two bands drop off the bill before we filled in, showed up for load-in to be told one of the bands dropped out because someone was sick. I've never heard of the promoter they were working with, and based on what I could tell even before the show, they did a bad job. So we had our first gig where we played to an empty room (well, the sound guy was there, and the other band).
After the show I left to bring my car around to pack up, and walked back in to hear a pretty heated discussion, I get the impression the sound guy was supposed to be paid from door money, but as there was no door money, the band was expected to pay him and did not take kindly to it. I was wondering if the cops were going to get called. Planning to confirm with the venue and offer to chip in half to pay the sound guy if that's what happened.
Sound guy and bar tender thought we sounded great
