			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A cool, bass-y Franken-instrument made by Diego Stocco, created by combining a piano, an electric bass, a guitar, a cabinet, a chimney (really), and, you know, whatever else was laying around that day:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/lhp6P9Ygsoc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/lhp6P9Ygsoc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Apparently it&#8217;s an original composition, but I couldn&#8217;t help but think of Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode.  I&#8217;m not the only one, someone else mentioned it in the comments on the video (on the <a href="http://vimeo.com/12658207">Vimeo page</a>, which unfortunately isn&#8217;t embed-able so you get youtube above) and Diego replies:</p>
<blockquote><p>A friend of mine, fan of DM, told me the same.<br />
I know some of their music, but I wasn&#8217;t thinking about that song. I was  inspired by the hours of western music I&#8217;ve heard in films, it&#8217;s that  kind of triplets &#8220;horse galloping&#8221; pattern you hear in the &#8220;bunch of  bad-ass cowboys going to place x to fix the situation&#8221; kinda scene  :  )</p></blockquote>
<p>Which I makes me sort of wish I knew how to do 3-d computer animations and such to be able to make the scene that goes with that.</p>
<p>For some reason it also makes me think a bit of the general vibe of Cowboy Bebop, though that admittedly usually has more horns &#8211; perhaps the general Western vibe.</p>
<p>Also, things like this are why I oscillate wildly between thinking I&#8217;d really like a really little place in the city with minimal stuff, and (where this comes in) a few acres of land next to a junk yard somewhere out in the country where I could hack together things like this without bothering people in the next apartment (a large reason why I don&#8217;t play my tuba more).</p>
