Non-Music Shit / Re: Best of Craigslist

« on: January 14, 2009, 02:03:40 PM »

stumbled across this one recently:
Looking for Non-Christian, Pagan and Atheist musicians[/b]
Bassist/songwriter seeks others to form a band playing original compositions. I have good chops, pro gear and a lot of songs. My influences are vast and diverse. Psychedelic pop, progressive instrumentals and funk. I am looking for people who like to improvise, know some music theory and have pro gear. Please have good chops and pro gear. I would prefer people over 30. No Drunks please.

oh, and the pictures in this one are also certainly classic: http://madison.craigslist.org/muc/964238827.html

my friend makes a living out of selling on discogs. i'd say it's a legit process. i prefer it to ebay; you don't have to fuss and bother over those bidding wars.

Dover Parkersburg 610 Galvanized Metal Water Bucket (2-Gallon)

This Bucket Changed My Life!!!, May 13, 2003
By Ari Brouillette

The highly versatile Dover Parkerburg 610 2- Gallon Galvanized Metal Water Bucket was recommended to me by my neighbor Jim Anchower. Jim is something of an amateur consumer products testing buff and assured me that when it came to galvanized buckets the Dover Parkersburg reigns supreme! Jim had previously turned me on to the the Swiffer WetJet Mop Total Cleaning System and the Hoover Quik-Broom S2561 so I knew he wouldn't [mess] around when it came to my metal bucket needs.
At first glance the Dover Parkerburg 610 is clearly a step above the competition, the smooth galvanized exterior is indicative of the more modern electrocoat process which produces much less surface bubbling and insures a uniform surface. Jagged Edges? Not on this baby! Also of note are the two horizontal ripples which are placed 6 inches from the base. A simple structural analysis and crush test showed the slight corragative additions to be more than simple decorations, they actually produce an increase in tensile strength of 35.8% when compared to smooth walled galvanized buckets of the same carrying capacity.
Although I have used the Dover Parkerburg less since installing our new fangled "Water Closet", I display it with pride, knowing that I own the best 2 gallon galvanized bucket in town.

Zithers are pretty big! I'd call that a backpack or satchel instrument.

Harmonica, jew harp...got those. I'm thinking more like pocket trombone or pocket timpani. Pocket tuba...

Stylophone is pocket-sized definitely.

saw jew harp and had to jump in.

my brother got a jew harp and carries it around with him everywhere he goes. he teaches how to play it on his folk blog http://thewoodenrag.blogspot.com

straight up folk savant, max elliott, just recently started a blog to try to spread some of this exact stuff around in true folktale fashion. if you ever need any hard to find folk songs or musicians, he's got it and knows it all.

really intense music; the songs of that era (see: "old tyme") go darker than anything else i've ever heard. nothing quite like the wailin's of odetta or buffy saint marie or even the almanac singers.
