4.18.10





enigma encryption/decryption machine = priceless



xbox guitar hero 3 with game & gtr (NIB) = $50



I wanted THIS BOX of KNOBS for my ZONKULATOR RIG
...but $250.00 = no dice.



cool rainy day at the flea = all sellers in the parking garage



Nathan & Jessica of flower electronics = real electro synth wizards !



Jessica's dog - EDAME (short for Edamame) = the real brains behind flower electronics !
(wished I had scored that SILVERTONE AMP for $20)



Monte McGuire with a vintage rotary telephone = THE soundman to the stars !
(who did an amazing job on live show mixing for TTs Orgy Of Noise show.)



notes from 2010 flea...
ACTUALLY BROKE DOWN an BOUGHT TWO THINGS in HARD COLD CASH...
Walter Carlos - Switched on Bach LP in fair condition = .50 cent
My Dad turned me on to this album when it came out in 1969, igniting
my lust for MOOG SYNTHS. Shortly after that he brought home a SINE
WAVE GENERATOR OSCILLATOR from his chemistry lab for me to tweak.

+ VGA to VGA cable = $1 - just what I needed for free dual
input CTR computer monitor I just scored for FREE on Craigslist.
Oh wait, it cost four bux (with dollar off flyer) to get in,
so total cash spent = $5.50... and well worth it.

I ran into a ton of people at the FLEA (besides Jessica Rylan, Nathan Trites, Monte McGuire who are pictured above) ...including Larry Dersch (best drummer and dude around) - Fred Owsley (from Noise Night bending workshops) - Mike and Linda Bullock (master improvers) - Max Lord (buchla synth & percussion ninja) - Andy Ihnatko (photographer who shoots amazing mit flea pix) and met a dude who saw me and Orgy Of Noise at Multimedia Circus gig in 2009... plus nodded at Zerfalt & Asha and even caught a glimpse Adam Rosen (my fave Mac Guru of Vintage Mac Museum.) If you dig around my BTM PHOTOGRAPHY SITE you will find pix I have snapped over the years of most of these people.

I hope to make it to the next FLEA... one of these days I might even grab a table and bring a pile of stuff to the party.

Scored this Shure Unisphere-A Microphone...
this was my first real pro microphone and I used
it in my band THE ELECTRIC ONION back in the 60s.
