The Music Thing Xmas Gift Guide

$12 An album by Link Wray: The coolest stocking filler you'll ever see

Hmm, Moog Prodigy, eh? Mine's currently on ebay going for £205 currently, no reserve and a day or so to go.

Go on, bag yourself a vintage xmas pressie bargain!!
 
I just got one of these diode necklaces for my wife.

After I got it there was a little caution notice about lead. Are they really that dangerous? Anyone know about diodes specifically?
 
I'm gonna get a rode NT1-a
and maybe a cheap midi interface
 
i've asked santa/satan for a cute little
blue vinyl killer....

$69.99
 
Another Christmas Gift Recommendation!
I just tried the Sienzo Digital Music mentor $49 from www.sienzo.com and got great results.
Automatically detects and displays chords and bass tabs from any song in your pc or CD-collection!
 
Here's my list:

1. A 10-gallon tub of Haribo gummy cola bottles

2. A portable DAT recorder with a stereo field mic

3. A Hammond B3

4. A single plum, floating in perfume, served in a man's hat
 
Soooo. I got to the line that read "iAmp tube amp", and gee, I got all excited, see. I thought Euphonic Audio had actually built themselves (and us) a tube amp. Based on their track record, this would be nothing less than stellar. Well, sadly it ain't so, but is just a typo.

Please correct "iAmp" to read "iMP"!

Plug for:

BugBrand Contact Mics
- ace'n'tidy piezo contact mics for cheap. (you can, though, get them cheaper by making them yourself.)

www.bugbrand.co.uk

I've got a couple of WeevilFrames (sonic picture frames) about to go on the shop page too (& can do custom ones of them) - kind of like CrackleBoxes - direct descendant of a musicthing ebay-of-the-day several months back.!.

Best,
TomBugs
 
PLEASE SANTA bring me a YAMANO hand roll piano!!!

Got my Drumometer two days after Christmas and I love the damn thing. It's totally addicting!

Now I don't have time to play doom, quake, vice city, all because of you. hehe!

Thanks!

Lacy
