Stolen Buchla Music Easel

reposted from matrixsynth. feel free to spread the word. anyone who steals something like this from a school needs to be shot. it's hard enough to get a decent education in music and the arts these days without some lowlife making it harder just so he can sit home making this thing go "beep, beep. boop."

Someone stole Evergreen State College's Music Easel (pictured). If you know anything please contact pbr. To the person who stole this: if you managed to sneak it out of there, sneak it back in. You suck. This is the one Easel, that those of us who can't afford, can actually hope to see one day; I was hoping to see it. Other bloggers and site owners out there who read this site, please feel free to post this as well. Maybe someone that reads your site can help.

"Yes indeed we had our wonderful easel stolen this week. I am heartbroken as it was one of my first instruments here at the college. They did not get the top, so someone has an easel without the top in their possession. We have a possible suspect who I will release his name once the cops finish their initial investigation.

Please circulate this information as widely as you can.

Thanks.
pbr"

now is time on shprockets when ve dance.

i guess it is cheating, when instead of posting some interesting prose on your weblog, you just look for cool stuff on youtube.com and stick it on there. still this is fantastic and i just thought i'd share.

remember when you're watching this kraftwerk footage, this was 1975. NINETEEN SEVENTY-FIVE. think back to what the mid 70's were like. staduim rock, 90 minute long drum solos, playing a guitar with a violin bow, lyrics about hobbits and sorcerers and dragons etc etc.

now watch kraftwerk performing autobahn. this song could be released next year, and it would still sound completely up-to-date. we still haven't caught up to these guys. my question is, someplace in this world there has to be a guy or girl or some combination thereof that is making music right NOW that we won't understand for 30 years or so. where are they? i really want to hear something new that makes me go 'i don't get it' but a few years from now i'll say, "ohhhh, i see."

i'd like to think i'd recognize it on sight, but who knows? if i was a teenager in the mid 70's i probably would have been waving my lighter around during stairway to heaven like everyone else, while ralf and florian et al. were busy changing the world.
