Let's spread some musical misinformation

ThunderBassist Laboratories are working on the "everlasting, never out of tune" or ENOOT™ bass string. No nano technology, but pure quantum mechanics instead. After having produced an entangled pair of strings, they're separated. One is to be installed on the bass, while the other one has to be kept under optimized conditions, regarding stress, temperature and humidity. The latter has to be observed periodically to ensure it doesn't wear. Once confirmed, it automatically can be concluded that its entangled partner string doesn't wear as well. Little drawback: The string on the bass may NEVER be observed.

Perfect for goth bassists in their darkened woodshed in the darkest grotto in the dark, dark forest

If a goth screams in the forest does anyone care, I mean hear?

Micro currant? Is that related to the plum pudding model of the atom?

The plumb-puddin' atum module was the inperspiration.

The secret is in the nano-seeds to grow more currant than you actually need; no Saskatoonberries were bruised in the process, but that's all I can say.


I can neither confirm nor deny that Cinnamon may or may not be involved or uninvolved or evolved.

Cinnamon, a fine feline fibre source of cat gut.

The Beatles tried to popularize the notes B# and E# (as well as the enharmonics Cb and Fb), however, at the time, the Union of Jazz Musicians was very powerful and reserved those notes exclusively to Jazz standards written prior to 1949. The decline of the popularity of jazz resulted in those notes falling into disuse and the eventual deletion of the notes from music.

well all this time I thought it was a keyboard revolt. If it ain't black it ain't sharp or flat, and we had to keep the kb out of jazz
 
The British invasion not only happened, but was so successful that Britian over-ran the United States. Meanwhile, the American invasion was a complete success in Britain, so really, there was just an exchange of cultures.

The American invasion never happened.

It was fake news created by Capitol records.

Culture never happened.

It was fake news created by Boy George and Culture Club.
 
Meanwhile, the Canadians keep subtly invading foreign airwave-space with their music and increasing the size of their slice of the sonic pie; they go unnoticed because they're so damn polite about it.

Soon, yas, wery soon Ve vill TEK OPHER ZE VERALD!

*cough*

S'cuse me, sorry for that outburst...
British invasion? American invasion? The Chinese are the only real invaders.
This guy is funded by the Canadian Armed Forces:

Chuck Berry's full name was Charles Lester Berry. At one venue he was billed as Chuck Les Berry. The spacing was kind off on the marquee.

From then on his neck name was Chuckles.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Bill Berry of REM is his son. Bill's failed attempts to get his father's most famous cut, about his ding-a-ling, on their set list was the death knell for REM as he rage quit.
