heh, the Helix, I found out about these guys last year when I found this image on the internet:

What note does a piano make if you drop it down a mine shaft?
B flat minor.
What note does a piano make if you drop it over an army base?
B flat major.
They wanted to try that with a Republican, but a âperfectly good oneâ couldnât be found.
Bang Zoom!
This makes me think of one of the funniest/saddest summaries of the Bush mal-adventures in Iraq:
âItâs like watching a piano tumble out of an airplane, catch on fire, and fall into a puppy farm.â
That actually happened. REALLY!
I have a friend in Duvall and they actually re-enacted the piano drop for the 100th year anniversary of the townâs founding. This is a video of the event.

The impetus for this particular crazy idea is a matter of low-key debate among Piano Drop historians and those who were there.

oh, brah-vo, Collectors Weekly. very droll.
Do not forget the âArk Royalâ launch on âNot Only âŚbut AlsoââŚ
Damn, the telly looks tame these daysâŚ
One piano =/= âpianos.â The story was already awesome, thereâs no need to embellish.
It wasnât really âthe first rock festivalâ, either (e.g. Monterey Pop was a year before).
âFell from the skyâ is a bit suspect as well- âdropped from a small distance above the groundâ is probably more accurate.
So how much of the headline is true? I think we can all agree on âatâ.
Itâs Boing Boing true.
Did someone say flaming piano?

I was looking on eBay for marinas a while back, as it would make a HILARIOUS sleeper (Rover V8, decent gearbox, stout live axle, all pretty much a Bolt-on job). Know how much a good one goes for?Three. Fucking. Grand. No, really.
All I can think is âHoly Shit, how much does a full tank of petrol cost these days?!â
You could actually get a real car for that moneyâŚ
Still not worth having to sit through an Eagles set.
