Let's spread some musical misinformation

Some combo amps with onboard EQ came with a knob between "lower mid" and "high mid" called "baffyoon". You don't see it all that much on today's amps though.

Most amps today have 100% plastic speakers and the cabinets are made of glazed styrofoam.

All the electronics in today's basses are 100% plastic.

All bass strings made today are 100% plastic.

At the end of 2018, all new basses will be made of 100% plastic.

There will no such genre as "Metal". It will be renamed "Plastic". The band named "Plasticene" will rise to stardom.

And yes...you can build a bass and amp out of Lego. The Lego P sounds a lot like an Epi EB-O. The Lego Tube amp and Lego 8x10 cab actually sound better than an SVT.

Radio stations are pushing for songs to be thirty seconds or less in total. Actually they would like each song to be ten seconds long. But it doesn't matter...because who cares what radio stations think?

This was all predicted by John Lennon 50 years ago: "Plasticene Porters with looking glass eyes....."

This will give 'firing' the drummer a whole different meaning.

The Kinks foresaw the move from metal to plastic:



Sonic Youth are plastic personified



The world is already full of ...




Plastic will not be played on plastic guitars, but on plastic banjos...



So Grab Your Plastic Fantastic Lover AND GO SPASTIC FOR PLASTIC...






*I couldn't find the plastic song I was looking for so you got all the these others. I did leave out Twisted Sister's "Plastic Money", Radio Heads "Green Plastic Watering Can" and quite a few others 'cause... the Future Will Be TelePlasticised...

Yazoo was originally named after the UK flavoured milk brand as Vince Clarke, after Depeche Mode, was hooked on dairy, but had expanded his range from haddock flavours to banana and strawberry. It also enabled him to get some early corporate sponsorship. Similarly, Oasis was named after Liam Gallagher's favourite light fruit drink.
