  1. Anyone Know Anything About Casio SK-1's?

    if the inside is "fried" then, no, batteries won't help. If it won't power up with fresh batteries then something is wrong internally. If you are tech-savy and alright with a soldering gun, open it up and look for visual clues of malfunction. beyond that these are NOT worth fixing. If no sound but powers up, try with headphones.

    Radioshack's canadian brand "Realistic" also makes this exact model. Value village and ebay will probably fetch one for under $20.

    Adaptors are really easy to come by, just read the input voltage and amps and look for one at value village.

    there are lots of resources for this keyboard on the web. goodluck!

  7. More bit torrent headaches with Rogers illegal downloading

    Check out this email my dad received from Rogers...I've been using bittorrent for years...he tries once and this is what happened...any tips/suggestions (aside from ignore the email)?

    thanks dima, maybe delete your post too?

    they basically know exactly whats been downloaded...I always thought they send a threatening email with a vague idea that something has been downloaded and not specifically. crazy.

  8. Last week's pepper jack sockhop sampler

    well the only thing sockhop about last week was the midnight shift, hamilton's premier Buddy Holly tribute act. What a drunk fest.

    Hear for yourselves:

    Midnight Shift - Looking for Someone to Love

    Dan Griffin & the Regrets - Summertime / Stars and Satellites

    Surly Young Bucks (5 very drunk tunes)

    Come over girl and Thing about us are Cam Malcolm originals. Don't Do It is slopped out and played to a very forgiving audience, we thank them endlessly.

  16. The Musical Box return...again.

    in Soundboard

    It makes you wonder why genesis didn't change their name when Hackett left and the music started going to (very) new places. The musical divison is black and white...it hardly makes sense to call 80's genesis by that name. But then again what do I know...they kept it and became world famous.

    80's pop stuff aside (i think i've made my point there), i can't get behind the re-vamped versions of pre-'75 songs and those damn medleys. I make an exception for some 1976 stuff, Dance on a Volcano > drums > Los endos is pretty fucking cool.

    For what its worth, I only got into genesis in the first place because of the Musical box, so that would probably explain my extreme left and right views of the band.

    Were people smoking inside at the Tioa show, kev? or does the new music hall enforce? Its just not a musical box show unless its hot-boxed to high hell.

    TIOA are not bullshit at all. They put on a great show. The '83 Supper's Ready is incredible.

    I said "Is Turn it on Again that bullshit 80's genesis?", not "is that bullshit Turn it on Again who play that bullhisht 80's genesis...".

    I dont question their ability to "put on a great show" for their fans, rather my opinon is that 80's genesis music was bullshit for the most part.

    I sould have mentioned that they announced these shows at the Turn It On Again gig at the refurbished Danforth Music Hall.

    YES, you should have mentioned this. I only got tickets yesturday, and a little farther back then I would have liked.

    The price is high, but i'm still going to both nights. Can you put a price on time travel? I think not. I am just peaved because these music hall shows used to be in the $40 range. (although, I did secretely wish for this...massey hall sucks big balls for a band like this).

    I'm a little hazy but this will be my 16th and 17th shows. Also, this is the first time in recorded history that we will get to see these shows in a warm season, as they've always played in the dead of winter. I can't wait to veg on the patio all day saturday before this one.

    Kev, is Turn it on Again that bullshit 80's genesis with the old Musical Box drummer? Does this mean he will be playing with them again in toronto?

    Musical box will return with their farewell farewell tour for Selling England by the Pound, this time at their original lair in toronto, the Danforth Music Hall.

    Unfortunately they are all high on glue fumes and think they are actually genesis, and will be charging accordingly.

    Tickets run from $55 (balcony) and $65 (floors).
