Most computers run on DOS, but if you use your computer for music production it has to run on DAWs.

Apple computers, on the other hand, send your music production straight away to the Apple Store™ and delete it from your computer, so you can conveniently buy your own production within seconds after release.

This is because John hated how much money Paul was making so he and Magic Alex secretly bought Apple computer where Magic Alex perfected the iPod.

Apple is now secretely run by Yoko.

Jimi Hendrix smashed and burned his guitar at the Miami Pop Festival in 1968 out of frustration that Noel Redding was getting so much praise because he was the greatest bassist that ever lived. When the audience started screaming, "MORE BASS, NOEL!," Jimi went berserk and destroyed his guitar onstage. Noel withdrew his offer to hire Jimi in his new band, Fat Mattress. Hendrix died two years later, choking on a ham sandwich, broke, unknown, and unmourned. Noel went on to fame and fortune until he married Yoko Ono on 09 December 1980. Noel was shot to death the following day.

The Beatles didn't always release successful albums. Outstanding amongst these was their time travelling corroboration album with Green Day, temporarily and temporally referred to by it's working title, "Puce Album".

Unfortunately, due to a snag in the big wall of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey.... stuff (and a confused 1990's policeman,) the album (which WAS completed) has been set for a release date of midnight, 11 February 9164, and not a picosecond sooner.

Originally, the Double Bass actually had two necks, one for each hand. However, as this made holding the bow rather complicated, bassists were given the choice of either removing one neck, or adding a third arm to their body. Most chose to remove the extra neck.

I read a story about the world's smallest violin; it gets played every time someone whines.

Piano players can get a free 6th finger on each hand to play bigger chords if they win the extra finger lottery, held on March 15 every year.

Much of the staccato cellos in Empire Strikes Back are actually 2 electric fretless bass players playing layered tracks of them scraping the strings rapidly in different ways.

The original recording of the orchestra didn’t properly capture the cellos properly. The studio hired to “fix it in post”, didn’t explain how they did it at the time. In an interview the producer, after explaining how they did it, added “They liked how it sounded, the quick turnaround and the relatively low invoice. So we didn’t bother to tell them how we did it.”
