Any Surface Becomes a Musical Instrument

~snip
Musicians of the avant-garde, listen up. Are you looking for that new sound? Sure you are. But you don't want to be just another skinny-jeaned fauxhemian with a bunch of loop pedals and synthesizers, now do you? Might I make a suggestion for your new instrument de rigueur, sure to anoint you and your band as the new darlings of Pitchfork.

The instrument, you ask? A mirror. Or how about a balloon? No wait, I got it. A tree. Can you imagine the music blogosphere's rapture if you showed up to your next Brooklyn gig and played a tree!

Is a perfect D note. I have it recorded and looped...so yeah, everything has a key, just have to figure out where to use it. I think Phish used to play a vacuum onstage.
