I don't have a t-shirt.

Neither do they.

There are few things I love as much as the notion of a digital modeling cowbell. It just feels right.

My favorite part about that site is how similar all the models sound. "Yep - that's a cowbell!"

Laugh all you want about the modeling cowbell. Its time will come. Think I'm wrong?

Roland already has this.

It's real. It's here. Now.

Digital accordian? Hell yeah! Otherwise how will Weird Al pass his craft on to his children?

Er...they all sound the same.

You know what you need, Mayor Curley?

More cowbell.

Is it just me, or does the test drive really only contain two distinct cowbell tones, at different levels?

Uh, flagged, there Curley, and moving on.

You must be drunk, right?

god, I hope so. Otherwise, as they say in the movies, you got issues.

This is fucking cool. And I'm glad it came out so quickly that it was a joke, 'cause with the combined IQs in my band, we'd probably spend a couple of weeks trying to order it at stores.

Oh...this isn't about me. ; - (

I prefer the sound of the "Butterscotch Quail" model. It's just so sweet and fowly.

aliasless - excellent use of "sweet and fowly". next time I have duck for dinner I'm totally going to use that. if it's alright with you of course.

Heretic! Everyone knows that analog cowbells are the one, true way to get that classic cowbell tone (recorded using a large-diaphragm condenser mic with a vacuum tube preamp).

Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Er...normally I'm a smart mother-fucker. But here's my reasoning - I listen to a lot of The Rapture, so much cow-bell. I thought it had caught on and the cow-bell was taking over the indie-dance world. It seemed logical that there would be a cow-bell site. No?
