Who knew microtonal music could be cool? Check out the frets on this guitar: 36 notes per octave! (and the part where is hand is looks like it would be rather tricky to play…)

A ferret guitarist, or as they say over at immanent discursivity, “the Keith Rowe of ferrets.” Funny how this is cheezburger material, but birds playing guitar is art. Maybe this ferret owner needs a gallerist.

Aphex Twin + James Devane: Rhubarb + Rhubarb (guitar cover)
Actors who want to create the impression of background crowd noise will often say “rhubarb rhubarb” over and over again.
I got clued into this classical guitar cover of Aphex Twin by Ethan Hein, and decided to stick it on top of the original to fill it out a little. Unsurprisingly, they go together quite well. I find it to be inordinately calming ambient music.
You can get the cover version without my edit here.
