Re: [newmellotrongroup] Tapes vs. Weather

2011-08-23 by john barrick

Dear Sir(s), I'll sleep better tonight just knowing there's a rapid response team standing by and that absorbency is no longer an issue. Never a dull moment when one is engaged in international business, eh?

John baby,

Sex is a perfectly normal feeling. This mellotron metaphor is a thinly disguised call for help. We are here to help and our team of experts are on hand to assist. Sponsored by Kleenex, we are reputable and disgusting by degrees.

Caringly,

The Streetly care team

Martin, shouldn't I at least line my mouth and esophagus with aluminum foil or something? Coat the tape paths with a mixture of Epsom salts, malt vinegar, and cilantro? Pack the spill box with surgical cotton?

Mr B.,

A well adjusted 9;tron will work whatever the weather. These tales of humidity and cold are an excuse for lack of adjustment and poorer than poor maintenance. A well maintained mellington will sing sweetly through wars and pestilence, rape and famine, four things I want to reinstate but rebadged as Lifestyle Living.

Best in the west,

Martin

> Hi all - I'm living in eastern Iowa and we're experiencing weather that';s all over the map, coming off a heat wave in July that saw us in the upper '90s a lot. It's cooler now, but we still having fairly high humidity, and I'm living in an attic without air conditioning. Because of this, I've simply put my tape racks away in boxes and retired the Tron until the weather stabilizes somewhat - hopefully in September. Is there anything else I should be doing, or am I over reacting?
