Just had to post this link since we are totally into pink (as you might have noticed) and it would be awesome to have this on stage. And it would probably let us get rid of the youngest fans!

One concern though, why do they have to take the horn of the unicorn to make that light?

One question, does anyone know where to buy one of these lights? please don't answer in the comments, but with telepathy.

So we found this awesome documentary of fuzz pedals. We love the distortion, and this here is all about distortion. The only part we dont really like is all them old guitar-ppl dissing circuitbending, we love circuitbending. although, it's more fun to bend then using in music. well whatever, We'll stop ranting now.

Hooray, no go watch the video's http://www.dailymotion.com/related/x79i42/video/x79gto_fuzz-01_music

Google alerts is a sweet sweet thing, it does all that vanity googling for you. You know when you google your own name or band to see if anyone has written something new about you.

Take a tip from the coach (us) and start using them alerts, you only get new stuff that google finds and will make you feel omnipotent.

Omnipotent how you ask, omnipotent as in when someone writes something about you in a forum that you never heard of, you will know. And you can always create an account there and defend-yourselves from the slander that they bring down on you. Or thank them for the kind words about you.

It is also nice to get to know how spread your music is. We found out the same day as AMOK "released" our Pink Unicorn Dolphins on the internets. And by how much it spreads.

So go go go and create a few of those alerts for yourselves!

Erectifier Manual

Intro
A little while ago, we, Rusty Trombone of very little fame discussed how to get our music better (specifically the singing) and also how to get more ppl to notice us. So we commissioned this little VST from world famous VST developer www.shuriken.se,
to give away for free, as marketing. Yeah, baby, for free, as marketing. Hopefully this will be as awesome for us as it is for you. Let us warn you though, we seldom read manuals, and we've never written anything like this. Anyways if you could listen a little to our music, tip a few friends of our music, be our friend at myspace, that would be awesome. please, we are begging, our knees are bleeding. puhlease.

What does what
So this works as a doubler, or demented phaser, it is designed to widen and phatten. Of course you can misuse that as well. you have an LFO that controls how long back an echo is. You can set the length and speed of this LFO. Then there is a filter that can be LowPass, HighPass or Allpass, and a cut Hz so that you can control where the cut is. oh-yeah!. The distortion is to gritt up the sound a little, or a lot, it's not the worlds bestest distortion. Then you can amplify the signal, if you want to. The filter can cut away a lot of the volume, that's why we have it. Then finally there is a on/off. There are two to the left side and two on the right side. and finally one dry through parameter. So if you'd like to test one of your settings, turn the other three off (via on/off parameter) and then tweak away, baby. There are a few presets (yeah, we didn't feel like making a lot of them, so we forced that shuriken.se guy to make a random-function and make a lot of presets there).

License
Ok, so this is free, you can use it on your tracks. It would be cool if you told us about it though. And it would be even cooler if you spread the word of Rusty Trombone. We don't take any responsibility for anything that this software might cause (unless it's good). Blah, blah, blah blah. Blbah blah blah. Oh yeah, if you want to put this plugin on a magazine coverdisc or something like that, it would be cool if you sent us an email and told us about it. A copy of the mag would be awesome.
