MechBass Robotic Bass Guitar

MEET THE NEWEST BASS PLAYER IN MY BAND. (OUR LAST BASS PLAYER HAD A NASTY BUG WHICH CAUSED HIM TO WIPE OUT THE AUDIENCE AT OUR LAST AND ONLY SHOW.) I HANDLE PERCUSSIVE DUTIES, INCLUDING DRUMS, COWBELL, AND EXPLOSIONS. IF ANY ROBOTS OUT THERE PLAY ANYTHING, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH.

When they rise up, it will be because we made them play Muse songs.

FUN FACT for the 1% and job creators: The S&P 500 (often considered a proxy for the US economy) is up NINETY-ONE percent since Obama took office. 91%. That’s a lot. It’s, um, almost 100%. If you invested $100.00 on inauguration day, it’d be worth $191.00 today. If you’d invested a million, you’d have almost two million. It’d be what anyone, Warren Buffett or Mitt Romney included, would consider an excellent investment. If I were wealthy, I would say something like “Steady as she goes, Captain” to whomever was piloting the ship.

The above is a screenshot I took a few minutes ago from Google Finance; it’s not from any candidate’s website. The little hand shows Inauguration Day, 2009.

Feel free to share this with a friend or elderly white man.

Word to all my elderly white man friends.

Wear some layers if you go see a show in the winter. Still gets cold at night in January in Texas.

And wear as little as possible in the summer, because it’s hot in thurr. The Lone Star is COLD AS ICE though.

“The existence of good bad literature — the fact that one can be amused or excited or even moved by a book that one’s intellect simply refuses to take seriously — is a reminder that art is not the same thing as cerebration.” George Orwell on “good bad books.” See also: Orwell on why write.

“So I kept writing through the summer, and in August the baby was born and I’d cradle him in my left arm while writing melodies at the piano with my right, and I said, let Osiris the keeper of the gates be my witness, other songwriters may go soft when they get to be parents but I am going to keep going all the way down into the inner darkness, it will set a good example for the baby, and besides, what am I going to do, suddenly start writing songs about cute things instead of songs about how to wrest cries of triumph from the screaming places? Please. May the baby grow up to spit in my face if I should pose that hard.” John Darnielle! New Mountain Goats album in October! (via synecdoche)
