Title: Save the M-Machine
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on May 06, 2005, 11:19:47 PM: The M-Machine needs your help!

Due to being really old, the M-Machine is failing and I don't know how to fix it! If you want to save this piece of historic pop and music culture, help me by contributing! ~~The link in my signature is for a default donation of $1 but no ammount is too small!~~ Ok, so I can't make the donation link work, but my paypal address is benreilly [AT] myrealbox [DOT] com

I currently have two pictures of the M-Machine available

Those who donate will get to learn the secret origin of the M-Machine's name! It is a tale of tragic drunkenness and peer pressure. Also Blow-Pops. I will try to make the narrative entertaining.

Seriously, all donations given will be used entirely for the purpose of resurrecting the M-Machine. Not for liquer or smack.

And the scary thing is, my thought was

"Wow that looks like a nice piece of state-of-the-art Hi-Fi

do they even HAVE Hi-Fi any more?
