Josh Pyke's Guitar Boat Floats on an Ocean of Rock
Up until now, I had never heard of Aussie indy-rocker Josh Pyke. However, sailing the seas on a giant guitar is something that tends to get people noticed. The boat is prominently featured in the video for his new single Make You Happy, and it appears to be an accurate replica of his favorite guitar. Unfortunately, it is not an actual, playable instrument—which is just as well. Jamming on this thing would require far too much effort. [Zimbo via Born Rich via DVICE] -

Clarinet Gun Mod Artwork is Not for Band Practice
Take a peek at this insane clarinet mod, which causes the instrument to drop its musical roots in favor of something a bit more offensive. Unfortunately, there isn't an awful lot of information to go on, but the device clearly looks like an artwork installation, meaning it probably isn't going to be firing rounds of 0.270s anytime soon. This information is probably causing the NRA to weep tears of hate and misery—oh, how we love the Gun Mod Clarinet. [80gritart]
