K-Station is KO'd

The highly regarded Novation K-Station synthesizer that I and the rest of Wumpus use to create wacky beow beow, vroom, wroom, and pneeeer sounds is no longer working. It won't even turn on. I'm surprised it didn't conk out during recording or the last show. It may be going back to England for repairs or a new brain or something. Does anyone have a cool synthesizer I can borrow in the meantime? A MicroKorg, Nord Lead 2x, or Alesis Micron would be nice, but I'll use a Casio or Radio Shack mini keyboard if I have to. As long as it can make beow sounds.

a bit of the old "in out in out"

A little birdie told me that TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT OF THE ELECTRIC SUPERWUMPUS!

If you know what is good for you, you will be there for the spectacular debut of Doktor's sensitive side, Rory's unleashed demon, DSSTM's self affirmation and the King's secret revealed!

This is life changing stuff people!

We went to record a double album and in the morning...

woke up next to a triple album with four chins. "I swear I must have been liking a butt last night." one of us said and rolled back over to sleep it off.

Good job us! seriously...we'd really enjoy something like that.

We did it!

We all got Frawks!

42 tracks in (basically) one 24 hour period
On the way to the PAC on day two we decided to record the song "Nine" first and later that day realized Mr. Dietr had the number 9 (and only the number 9) on his shirt
Most of the "keeper tracks" were the second takes and my total at the gas station, after Rory put $20.02 in the van when I said put in twenty and a 20 oz. Coke and a Nutrageous candy bar, was $22.22

COINCIDENCE? SLEEP DEPRIVED DROOL?

I don't know.

I had a great time. The King and DSSTM each have very unique snoring styles.
