Moogseum has to be on all our bucket lists. And there's a chance to support the museum and their educational work -- the @bobmoogfoundation.bsky.social raffle for a vintage Minimoog has a few days left.

If you're ever in Asheville, hit up the Moogseum. Late in life, Bob Moog moved near Asheville and taught at UNC Asheville. There's a cute little museum with theremins and synths

Pictured here with my sort of Frankensteined Danelectro 4021 (with the weird batwing headstock). In rough shape and put together with pieces from eBay so not worth really anything but to me. Did put a '59 lipstick pickup in the neck though and it might be the best sounding one I own.

*also does his own stunts*
You get funny looks from the neighbors laying down to cover your face with Sand. For the art, I guess...

Oh I love this

The Shipbuilders @theshipbuilders.bsky.social · Sep 13

In a world which labels kindness as meekness
Never let it be said that compassion is a weakness
Do I run away to the sea of tranquility,
or try to stay afloat in this swamp of futility?

There are certain truths to be learned fast and hard..

Having a small music account on X is very frustrating for the sheer number of attempted scams. Ah yes I'm sure all these totally real pitchfork guys just happened to find my tiny account, find my music so interesting, and DM me to say so with the same script
