There's a great little place in the far sticks of Indiana that has a great bit maple syrup festival every spring. It's usually accompanied by a big chicken feast, lots of rural activies (sawing stumps with an old saw) and some fine bluegrass music.

OK, enough of the music talk... when are we eating? Actually, it reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend of mine regarding R.E.M.'s Reveal album. He was laughing about how they were in this expensive-ass studio with all kinds of euqipment yet for some reason they were using samples of someone crinkling an M&Ms wrapper for a drum sound when down the hall they had an actual... drum kit. The conversation was actually really funny.

Cool, I might just have to pick this up. In our electronic music studio in college, we had an original Buchla synthesizer to go with our Serge. (Our professor was Serge's brother, Ivan Tcherepnin, RIP.) Even back then in the early 80s, it was like getting to actually work in a museum.
