You know what was polarizing in my generation? Magnets.

Second from right is weirdly lopsided.

For the record: The Promise Ring's Very Emergency might be the best album ever made.

By all means, Agent Oates. 'Tighten Up,' isn't that the preferred argot inspired by that musical miscegenation?

There are lots of cheap ones (M-Audio makes good 32-key controllers for well under $100) on eBay all the time. Good place to start out just screwing around.
