Thursday linky-winky

The guitar needs a make-over.
Read the Guardian's view on this.

Why are they still making guitars with "real" strings that are difficult and boring to learn how to play and really make your fingers hurt? What is the point?
... with the button guitar you can still use the instrument for its main purpose – pretending that it's a penis or a machine gun.

This is important because, despite the fact that it is old, smelly and too hard, the guitar has never been successfully replaced as pop's coolest instrument, mainly because the synthesiser makes a poor penis/machine gun substitute.

What about those cool 80s ones that the likes of Jean Michel Jarre used to sling over their necks and play like guitars? I miss them. h so needs one of those.
