Felt, plush. Whatever you call it, it’s soft and cuddly. Yesterday, we explored Becky Stern’s fucked up femur in plush form. Today, plush strikes again in the form of an old 1970s synthesizer. It looks like a Modular Moog unit but alas, it’s a Korg.

These plush synths are created by Australian artist Pulsewidth. He’s made a Juno, an ARP and plenty of other nostalgic stuff that The Cars once used. The best part? You can purchase these fabric flangers on Etsy.

A good pal of mine and former colleague Mike Kobrin is the go-to man for all things musical. I didn’t even know a Moog guitar existed until I saw this post on CrunchGear featuring a video of Kobrin reviewing it. It looks (and sounds) like a beautiful instrument but at $6500, it’s reserved for real rock stars.

No, getting one million points in Guitar Hero does not count. Hit the link for the full review.
