Happy 808 day!

Update: actually... make that Happy 808 month!
via The Experimentalists Anonymous
"Today is a truly special day in music history. Not only is it 8/08, but it's also 8/08/08, which only happens once in a thousand years! For those of you who haven't caught on yet, 808 is the model number of Roland's famous Transistor Rhythm 808 drum machine. So let's take a day to celebrate the awesomeness that is the 808!"

check out The Experimentalists Anonymous for more including an 808 sample set.
