I wanna know who the Syncypat-whatever's are.

Aaaand more pictures at tmr.com-- http://thirdmanrecords.com/news/store-e ... -tomorrow/

Looks like the new room is on the opposite side of the hallway from the room with the Mold-A-Rama and Monkey Band.
That looks pretty great! Thanks for sharing the picture. Can't wait to see it next month!

Would love to see more photos here when the camaraderie du jour dies down.

Man, oh, man.
From what I've read about those tours today...
I'll let the folks who attended do the talking, but from what Facebooks told me, it was unreal.

What were those machines called originally?

Mold-A-Rama, the Wax-O-Holic seems their own given title, at least I cant find any machine under that name.
Maybe they had to change the title since its not a machine owned by the Mold-A-Rama company?
But then this article does show one being in Nashville https://www.wbez.org/shows/curious-city ... dcc0c072d1
(And a fun story about Jack freaking out when he first used a Mold-A-Rama.)

Wax-O-Matic, you mean. Wax-O-Holics is a record label, isn't it? Thanks for the link about Mold-A-Ramas, I can totally picture Jack getting excited the first time he saw one, and it's very cool to learn some background. Though I really think they'd be even more badass if they could be made with clear tubes so you could see the polyethylene shoot through.

Woops yeah :shifty: Even more interesting back story on how the machines work and the wax used is on moldville.com.
I wish I could see one in real life.
