MOTM

a) Thanks to everyone abusing the '650. This sort of thing is needed to assure 
rock-solid code. Jeffrey will hunt down the nasty bugs shortly.

b) Indiana will be getting the Spectrol 149 pots tomorrow, so again: don't panic 
if you get a kit that the instructions say '148' and you get '149'.

c) I am due the wired '510 rotary switches this Friday, so the following week 
the initial 16 sale '510 kits can ship.

d) Indiana kit/parts inventory will finish Tuesday, more kit shipping starts 
Wednesday. When these are shipped, I think that should be most orders up to 
~#270.

e) I have spent all weekend on assembled modules: '440s mainly and 1 '410 
shipping tomorrow. Next up: all '310 kits on order, from before the shopping 
cart up to #260.

f) I owe Analogue Haven some 1485s as well and need to get those finished.

g) I received an advance copy of Roger Powell's "Fossil Poets" CD. It's not what 
I 'expected' per se (70s cosmic/prog rock). Rather, it reminds me in many places 
of Jeff Beck's "Wired" and "Blow by Blow" albums. The guitar is featured as much 
as the keyboards are, and both the composition style and guitar tone/playing are 
like these 2 records (BTW: if you are not familiar with them, these are classic 
instrumental rock CDs, highly recommended). One track is different, it is more 
like Cliff Martinez/Jeff Rona (the score to the movie 'Traffic", again highly 
recommended. With synth work by MOTM user Tobias Enhus). The MOTM use is more 
down in the mix, there isn't a 'screaming lead line' like Jan Hammer/Chick Corea 
wailing away, but I smile many places when I hear it. Highly recommended, it's 
nice to support such a great guy as Roger, who has gone out of his way to be 
gracious to me on several occassions. The tempo is upbeat, good music to drive 
to :)
