Saturday, June 19, 2010: Kaossilator Pro

I went by Music Concept today and got my Kaossilator Pro. I spent much of the day messing with it. It has a double the number of patches as my original Kaossilator and a bigger (and flashy) control surface. It also has a few features like a looping function as well as some effects. It's built like a tank compaired to the plastic toy like original.

Sunday, June 13, 2010: Music Concept

I've had contact with staff from both Music Concept and Rock Planet and have learned that both stores managed to get their merchandise out before the Red Shirt Rampage.

Music Concept has reopened in the part of Siam Square that the Red Shirts didn''t burn down. The temporary store is a quarter of the size of the old one. I went by it this afternoon and checked it out. My Kaossilator Pro should be in this week. Huzzah!

Saturday, June 12, 2010: Return of the Sky Walk

It was once possible to walk on the elevated "sky walk" that is suspended under the Sky Train tracks from Paragon all the way over to Chitlom BTS Station. My usual route to Central World, and the various shops I frequented there was along this walk way. The walkway has been closed but now it's been reopened giving a better view of the damage to the area. I took a stroll along it today and got some more photos.

I have yet to get up to Pantip or go by Big C where I've had a MBE Mailbox. Big C which I shopped at many times, ate Mk at many times and so forth was also set on fire by the Red Shirts. So I now have a key for a mail box that no longer exists.

Ah, 1978!

Simpler times when all I was concerned about was girls, synthesizers and watching Doctor Who…

Wait a minute…
