This Machine Annoys NeoCons

[omorka]

Well, we finished it - we now have a chromatic power-chord autoharp with a pickup. It sounds awful played acoustic - thin and tinny - but through the little practice amp with the disortion turned up, it's actually sort of interesting.

Now I just have to learn to, you know, play.

So, what are we gonna do with a punk autoharp?

One suggestion was that we get me, the Spouse, cheshirebast, and bassfingers to show up to a bluegrass festival - autoharp, cajon, fiddle, and acoustic bass - and start something innocuous, then five bars in the Spouse shouts "Stop, stop! I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but there's no reason for you to hear this today," and we crash into "Radio, Radio."

You're kinder and gentler than the Bard of the Dust Bowl, I take it?

Five minutes ago I had no idea what your reference to "Radio, Radio" meant, not being an SNL fan in 1999. Google is becoming so powerful that I'm starting to imagine it as a little attendant-cherub, or maybe a faithful retriever-hound, tagging along at Athena's feet...

bibulb suggested "This Machine Kills Ignorance," but somehow I think that's more appropriate for Old Silver, my graphing calculator.
