The Worlds Most Unwanted Song

A tidbit for a Friday the 13th:

I ran across an article describing the World's Most Unwanted Song and what musical characteristics it would have (it would have a large orchestra that included the accordian and bagpipe, be over 25 minutes long, and also have an operatic soprano).

For you guitarists out there

You may have heard about "virtual" stuff when recording - you have a piece of software that can make your guitar sound like it's plugged into any amp, using any mic, etc. Since it's software it's easy to make changes.

There are also "virtual instruments" - you run a midi cable from your keyboard to your computer, and your computer can make sounds like any of a gazillion synthesizers.

Now they've come up with a "chameleon" guitar at MIT - where you can make it sound like just about anything. Very interesting - read the article and watch the short video.
