Roland’s plastic toy, the TB-303.
A Reverb posting offers the OG 303 for $3,064.
Happy 303 day, ya filthy animals!
One can be yours, for just a few thousand dollars… 💸
Pure insanity.
Like always, I am way behind the times… no less, I was listening to Venetian Snares’ Detrimentalist album (FTFT) and cannot imagine somebody beating him in the loudness wars. Straight outta the box that maniac is maximum redness. 😂 Good stuff. 👏
Gonna be some experimental music on Saturday, February 21st, 2026. Come celebrate live music with us! 🤙 🙂
Mahalo! 🤙

This is a repair I am doing gratis for the non-profit Hawaii Science & Technology Museum, for their willingness to bring in the Hawaii Synthesizer Club and share their space.
I don’t know what to do about anything, but this resonated with me, because I have always gotten a laugh from this beautiful bastard. LOVE to see him doing this…

Any recommendations or guidance? 🙏
The innards of a Moog Etherwave Theremin
Anybody have schematics for a Moog Etherwave Theremin a la 2021? Am doing repairs, and would love to have more details about these test points…
I am fabricating 1u brackets that fit z-rails, because TTA does not. If anybody wants in on that action, DM me. 🤙
A top-down view of the innards of the Pioneer SA-9100.
A view of the two big Elna capacitors inside the SA-9100.
Another repair project on the list: Pioneer SA-9100. Have had this for about 16 years. I have never had it serviced. This fried my Paradigm miniMonitors, and I swear shocked my ear a couple times. The schematics are heady.
Mark Maron’s 100% correct about Riyadh and those pathetic, greedy worms who betrayed principles of freedom by entertaining MBS’s golden-cow offering.
And they’ll cry about “cancel culture,” as if the choices we ALL make don’t have consequences. Side with Fascists, eat dirt, worms! You had a choice.
What a view! 😻
Randall’s RMC-12 clamshell-kine cabinets on the lanai.
Check out these 🍒 cabinets…
Haha that is an idea!
No, this was Nikola Jokic’s point/rebound/assist total from the other day… first ever time in NBA history. Unreal. Truly incredible.
56 / 16 / 15 is absolutely batshit insane…
Thanks to many gracious contributors, we now have a PA. It’s not the best system available these days, but it is sufficient and a great deal for the cost — we can build with it, and that is what is fantastic.
Now to build a way to power it off-the-grid... thoughts?
The parasite in my brain must be a big fan of the Doobie Brothers.
A temperature reading over the course of about 24 hours looks like a boob.
I need to call her…
Michael McDonald has been a menace for the last three months...
Some of his tunes — along with what he recorded with the Doobie Brothers — have been eating my brains. All day. Every day. Just like those sorry bastards in “Forty Year Old Virgin”. A constant internal loop.
I have no idea why… 🤷🏻♂️
What’s up with songwhip? Anybody else experiencing unusual behavior from that site?
😂
I don‘t even have the space, man... 🤦🏻
More evidence I am “old” is the recurring internal debate I have about why I need not just a drill press, but a good one. Something old and heavy, likely to require a truck to move. I also do not own a truck. I cannot shake the feeling this is eventually going to happen.
A Craigslist post seeking the donation of a WORKING clarinet.
Anybody have a clarinet they wanna donate…?
I am serious.
Event today! Spread the word. 🙏
Been jamming with a couple fellows here, and am excited to share some of what we have come up with on the fly. Not sure how I will organize it all, but plodding through the sessions and extracting some delicious dishes. Stay tuned.
Ugh so after all the shenanigans with my SH-101 it still does not work… 😭
