Notessimo Flash Music Creator
Notessimo is a quick and easy music creator that's kind of fun if you want to just fool around but you're not musically trained (or even if you are?) Of course, there are more advanced programs out there as well – David, you out there? What do you use? (via MetaFilter)
Reconstruction Site – The Weakerthans
This song's been going through my head a lot since Pace was born: And I'm broke, like a bad joke Somebody's uncle told at a wedding reception in 1972 Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed And his father laughed […]
