The Roland RS-09

A friend has been cleaning up my old string synth. The sliders had gotten very noisy in their old age.

It's cool to play this thing again. The organ sounds are pretty good, the string sounds are pretty good, but it's at it's 80s ugly vibraty synth best when I turn everything on and let it go.

I want more synths now ...

I like ITunes

I have ITunes on my Mac at work and this puppy is loaded. 18 gig of music.

I just made a new playlist. It's called A Floydian Nightmare.

It consists of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon and The Squirrels Not-So-Bright-Side-Of-The-Moon matched track for track, just to scramble my brain.
