6:21a	quote from a recent forum post of mine, reposted here. in regards to my desire for old instruments. if i own something because someone i liked used it and i wish to reach a deeper understanding of where the art i like came from and the only way i can do it is by listening to the records and acquiring (or in my case, making) the gear and learning how to use it and then making music with it, it's not fucking nostalgia it's fucking EDUCATION.

10:15a	O HOLY SHIT it's been 9 years since my straw boater shrunk to beyond wearability after the Iowa City Jazz Festival in the year 2000. or was it 2001, making that eight years. does anyone know? FUCK i'd like to have a straw boater right now. going to have to make do with a custom-woven panama i guess. (2 Comments | Comment on this)
10:32a	and my TR-808's maracas are DOA and its sequencer sporadically decides to speed up to 400 BPM and then start oscillating all the drum voices randomly and wildly. also, my TR-909 feels like rebooting sporadically. i'm not upset about these things but i'd like to fix them. does anyone have any suggestions other than "give them to me"?
