They play: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, upright bass, electric bass, banjo, clarinet, violin, mandolin, harmonica, keyboard, piano, trumpet, trombone, drum kit, pump organ, cellular telephones (from The Low Anthem's Wikipedia article). Check out their song For the Ghosts Who Write History Books, which features pump organ, guitar and clarinet. Thanks to David Swanson for the find.

LINKS/NEWS
* In 2006 Filmmaker John Maher followed the Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps for 80 days to get an insider's look at the rigors of a summer with a top-ranked drum and bugle corps. The result was Throw It Down, an 88 minute award-winning documentary that promises more than just inside jokes and you-had-to-be-there moments. An article featuring the film can be found on Marching.com. You can see the official trailer at the Throw It Down website.
* Marching.com also features a helpful technique guide by Wayne Downey, the music director for the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps. Downey wrote this guide, which can be found at: Marching.com.
* U2's doing a Spiderman Opera. Well, that should be interesting? Thanks to the Daily Swarm for the info.
* South African songwriter Graeme Sacks has written a piece that should get the aspiring writers among us (song or otherwise) to get busy writing. Check it out at his blog: AfricanABC. Thanks to Artists House for the find.
TOTALLY RANDOM
* This one is worth a few laughs in the xkcd vein:
Well, that's all for this week. Thanks for reading!
