Reverb, delay, and saw waves for the synth sounds. It's really generic so not sure of the actual patch or anything. Kinda sounds like a Roland.

Short story where Sherlock Holmes calls into extra racist dialogue with Watson about the ancestry of a potentially regular client. At the end as the man storms out Sherlock says he walks like a homosexual. It’s not as bad as it sounds. It is very racist. As far as I remember it didn’t actually use any slurs besides old (1890s) names for mixed-race black folk such as mulato etc.

At the end as the man storms out Sherlock says he walks like a homosexual. The word “mulatto” appears in The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge, and someone (not a client) is described turboracistly, but no one is indicated as being gay (though “queer” shows up in the archaic sense). If it isn’t that I’d agree with the other post that it isn’t an ACD original you’re looking for.

I’m gonna laugh really hard if it turns out DS doesn’t know what queer means and thinks Holmes goes around calling everything gay like a twelve year old

I know it ain’t actually from the author, it’s just a funny couple of paragraphs that wouldn’t be out of place in a HP Lovecraft tale. It’s like Sherlock played by Charles Nelson Riley and Don Deluise as Watson. The didn’t call it “the gay 90’s” for nothin’

This one is pretty recent, but there was a post in Cinema Discusso somewhere in the past few years that's a reading of The Force Awakens as a (iirc) purely neo-liberal take. Can't remember the author.

Some Christian books just got linked in the terrible books thread in PYF and it sparked a memory of some insane Christian epistolary novel that tried to be a modern Screwtape Letters. I’m pretty sure there were like four human characters these two demons (an uncle and nephew) were corresponding over. Some of the humans died to the dangers of premarital sex/drinking/roleplaying games/tarot cards/ouija boards, I think. Actually, holy crap, typing this up made me remember it was weirdly specific about things that were connected to the spooky evil demons - the one I recall explicitly right now is (weirdly) the song The Way by Fastball, which was some demonic ploy about false visions of heaven for unbelievers and suicides. Surprisingly I’m no longer on great terms with the friend that lent it to me in high school but it’s boggling my mind right now and I want to see if I’m remembering it incorrectly somehow.

I'd never heard the song so I just looked it up and not only have I totally heard it before, part of it (the... verses? that end with 'the way') is one of the random tunes I hum to myself without ever really thinking about it.

Found this after sleeping on it - I’m pretty sure it was The Ishbane Conspiracy by uh Randy Alcorn and someone else but I can’t remember who because it’s clearly a hip-young-adult remix of Alcorn’s Lord Foulgrin’s Letters. It looks even worse than I’d remembered.

There was a short video of a man who lived alone in an apartment, with the hots for his neighbour. The thing was he was half a man, vertically. He kidnaps the woman, slices her in half and sews her onto him. Naturally the two halves don't get along and so she (literally) splits with him. The woman goes about her daily life with a vertical scar. Have tried to find this over the years, but never found it.

I'm looking for a recording from a band called Cardiac Kids. They're a California band from the early/mid 90's. Here is the issue, I can't seem to find any of their albums, like even bootlegs. Does anyone have this? Can anyone tell me where to procure one of these guys' records?

I play and collect old vintage keyboards. There are a few synthesizers which are definitely white whales. First is the Yamaha GX-1 - a lot like the CS-80, but built like an organ with two manuals and a 25-note pedalboard. Stevie Wonder used one on Songs In The Key of Life. I think they only made, like, 2 dozen of them. Keith Emerson used to own one - Hans Zimmer owns it now. A CS-80 would be sweet too, but they're also rare and fetch stupid prices at auction; we're talking like $30k. There's also the Ondes Martenot - an early (1930s) instrument that is a lot like a keyed theremin, with three different speaker cabinets for different timbres. Not sure how many of these there are. The coolest part is the control - the keybed can wiggle for vibrato like you would on a cello; there's a ring you can wear on your finger for sliding note to note, and there's a touch-sensitive button for the attack. See the video below. For electric pianos - I'd like an early Wurlitzer electric piano. I have a 200A and a 120, but there was also a 112, which I think was the first commercially available one they made. I guess they're a nightmare to work on, barely out of the prototype stage and not designed with servicing in mind. I'd also love to find a Rhodes Mark V, the last Fender Rhodes made only briefly in the early 80s before the company folded. There was a version with MIDI output that I would love. They also made a single 88-key one which surfaced within the last couple years (the mold for the plastic shell broke after making that one, and the company folded before they could make more), but it sold to someone in Vegas. Hammond is best known for their organs - which I own many of - but they also briefly produced the Novachord, which is in essence an early polyphonic synthesizer built entirely with vacuum tubes and a ton of capacitors. They were used on radio programs like a classic recording of War of The Worlds. I can't remember their dimensions, but they're wide enough that you can't get them through a standard doorway. There were also some capacitors in them that used PCBs, so you potentially have haz-mat concerns working on them. The original prototype actually had a velocity-sensitive keyboard, but they decided that added too much to manufacturing costs for what was gained. There are two models of Hammond organ it would be fun to own - one is the Concert Model E, made in the late 30s and early 40s. The other is the Grand-100 or G100, which didn't have Hammond's signature drawbars; instead it just had stop tabs like a pipe organ. I sent a message to someone with a Model E who sent one reply and haven't heard from since, and there was a G100 across the country that I couldn't get to in time and was scrapped. As for organs I DO own, well... I honestly am not sure how many I own now but it's probably over 20. The rarest ones are probably a Hammond Model A (serial no. 892, mfd. in 1935), a Model G (made for the US Government during WWII; not many were saved), and a Model M spinet, although Model Ms do seem to come up with some frequency. I also have many Leslie speakers, and there are a couple rare early ones it would be fun to own. I have a 31A, but there was one other prototype model before that, and my 31A does not have the original amplifier. The other rare ones I own are a 50C, and a 122 that may be one of the first 200 built. videos GX-1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajP6hXHrqkk Ondes Martenot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy9UBjrUjwo Novachord (the first couple seconds are a piano) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH5qJHFlBcQ

I know jack about programming FM synths except that they make some unique sounds, and can have that "squishy" quality to them, like the Sega Genesis sound chip or the DX7.
