rabitguy, UCSB's Cylinder Radio page, with selections including cakewalks & rags, classic Vaudeville, early black artists & composers, and German comedy skits from 1904-1909. "Alternate takes were commonly issued in the early years of the phonograph industry for a variety of reasons. Cylinders weren't moulded until the turn of the 20th century, so mass production was impossible, and moulds and stampers had a limited lifespan. Artists went back into the studio to record popular songs if the masters wore out. UCSB retains any alternate takes of a given title. An interesting example is 'Any rags', by Arthur Collins, for which UCSB has three different takes." An example track - purely random - is Rabbit Hash, by Billy Golden, from Edison Records in 1903.
So, I finally managed to pay off my mortgage to Tom Nook, leaving me with the largest home available. No debt! What a curious notion. Now what? I suppose I'll just shower the locals with random gifts. ^_^ After all, a complete harvest day can bring in around 150,000 Bells - and that goes a long way in Bunnyton.

Environmentally aware folks might want to keep an eye out for the IPTV channel on its way, green.tv. (Nothing there yet but a placeholder, though)
Seems Grover had a bit of an accident, but it seems they were able to save him. Thinking of which, if your life could be saved by a brain transplant into any cinematic or television robot, who would you choose? The classical stylings of Robbie, the menace of Maximilian, or perhaps one of the Bjork All is Full of Love androids?
BEST BET - Bunnies on bikes; need we say more?
Thursday, April 13, 2006
The Easter Bunny will arrive by bike and with a cast of wannabes -- in bunny attire, of course.
Such is the whimsy of the third annual Bunny on a Bike Ride on Sunday. This year's theme is bunnies on the bridges. Riders will cross the Broadway and Hawthorne bridges and the lower part of the Steel Bridge.
There's more to the event, but organizers are short on details, not wanting to spoil surprises along the route.
They reveal: The ride will be about two hours, rain or shine. The mostly flat route, a loop along and around the Willamette River, is family-friendly. However, solo riding is recommended only for participants who are "street-ready" and no younger than 8. There will be a shorter path for younger or new cyclists.
Most important: All riders are expected to be in bunny attire -- otherwise, what's the point? Even just rabbit ears will do. When: 2:30 p.m. Sunday Where: Union Station, 800 N.W. Sixth Ave. Cost: Free Info: Carye Bye, 503-248-4454; e-mail redbat@redbatpress.com or visit www.redbatpress.com

And, well.. I suppose I had to take this quiz. ^_^
