A dirty joke about Liberace...

I am now the current owner of this delightful Baldwin "Orga-Sonic" Organ!


I'd been wanting some kind of junky/antique-y organ, keyboard, or synthesizer for quite some time now and came across this old beaut on Craigslist last Friday. Only $50, a steal, though it's a little temperamental. Nicole, bless her heart, drove out to Laurel, Maryland with me (got lost both ways, of course) to purchase the instrument from some retired Navy man. Nice guy, but didn't say the most PC things about the Mexicans currently living in his daughter's old residence. Example: "I'll sell the 'Spanics for a dollar!" *Pulls collar to side, makes Erin's patented awkward noise*

Speaking of noise, the Warehouse Nextdoor just announced their Sonic Circuits DC festival line-up for October. Four straight nights (and one afternoon) of broken electronics, harsh noise, humming drones, and EAI (some acronym for the more destructive or even more esoteric free-improvisation). I'm trying to get Phillip and Zach to come up (come on, Zachary, you can play and record on the new organ all you want!) and one my publications to get me a press pass.
