FM's always good for THE KLANG.
Hardware FM, though, I don't know... FM needs precision. There was a time when a DX27 was my only synth, and I programmed it hardware style on that little 2 line LCD... no way I'd do that now.

Overall, this NAMM was good for my wallet in that I have no GAS for anything.

Several years ago I remember pissing off a few of the motorcycle types on some forum... somewhere... by implying some of those racers that you sometimes see on the bridges around here late at night doing wheelies and weaving at massive speeds between cars would eventually end up crashing off the bridge into Tampa Bay.

In fact, there is a slang for these type of drivers within the community that shows that such bravado is all too commonplace -- "squid". Any actual serious motorcycle racer would join the amateur leagues -- AMA for motorcycles I think, similar to NHRA for drag racing and SCCA for autos. The biggest problem with the squid types is not that they endanger their own lives, but sometimes endanger others as well.
