Used Records For Sale/Auctions/Wantlists / Re: wanted: casio sk-1 keyboard

« on: April 16, 2008, 10:04:33 PM »

Last summer, I found my SK-1 at a garage sale (in an otherwise "unused" condition - still in box with manual) for $3.00. Just last month, I found an SK-8 in a thrift store for $5.00.

I have to say having (and using) both that the SK-8 is similar, but way, way better - it even saves your samples (which the SK-1 doesn't do), and can save either 2 longer samples or 4 short ones). I buy shitty keyboards whenever I see them (so long as they have a headphone output), and my collection is pretty sweet now - aside from these, I use a PT-1 (which is great - check this out http://www.vimeo.com/49372),  and my crown jewel - a DM-100.

Not that any of this helps you in your search... I just have a fondness for old Casio keyboards and take any excuse I can get to talk about them.

Hey! Thanks for the encouraging comment. The response so far has been amazing, except for one clueless reviewer. I have another release coming very soon. Another unreleased Montreal band. Hardcore punk from 1978!

Who was said reviewer?

I am (doing a Phd in Calgary for some reason). I am pretty sure they (the Wicked Awesomes) have played here once or twice (with The Ostrich, who are the best band in Calgary right now, totally in a similar vein). I have yet to see them live, but am looking to asap.

so as a result of avery fuckin' with brodeur in yesterday's game, there's a new rule interpretation.
avery's a clown, but this is stupid.
in case you missed it, here's the video, pretty funny...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ec_2oKWe2Gw

NEW YORK/TORONTO (April 14, 2008) -- National Hockey League Senior Executive Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell today issued the following advisory on the interpretation of Rule 75 - Unsportsmanlike Conduct: "An unsportsmanlike conduct minor penalty (Rule 75) will be interpreted and applied, effective immediately, to a situation when an offensive player positions himself facing the opposition goaltender and engages in actions such as waving his arms or stick in front of the goaltender's face, for the purpose of improperly interfering with and/or distracting the goaltender as opposed to positioning himself to try to make a play."

This should have been the call last night... What a tool.

I know it has been mentioned before, but the unified cover theme for these releases is brilliant. Drool worthy.

man. of course the one weekend I go without checking this goddamn place, limited edition bullshit hits. although perhaps mr blank dog is getting some, because the TMU web says only 50 out of 100 for mail order. so maybe I still got a shot.

Well that will teach you: NEVER LEAVE YOUR COMPUTER. EVER.

Did anyone else here watch the Flames/Sharks game? Sharks score three in the first three minutes, and then lost the game 4-3. Such a good game.

My last order with TMU went smoothly, though I am waiting for a confirmation email... (ordered last night around 7pst, not too worried).

Just as I posted that - 7pst got me #17th place according to the confirmation email...
