People seem generally glum/cranky today for some reason, so I offer this (non-digital music) image: a Carnaval parade of guys in wooden, mustachioed masks ringing cowbells. More cowbell, indeed.

Wearing wooden masks and cow bells strapped around their waists, Germans defied the freezing temperatures to participate in the traditional cow bell-ringing procession in Mittenwald, in southern Germany. The century-old custom is celebrated around carnival.

Just remember, folks: musical instruments are a wonderful thing.

    Sure the bells are shiny but what kind of DSP flexibility are we looking at here? How do I integrate them into my host? Rewire?

    They look way to happy to be there, how can we be sure Mittenwald Cowbells didn't pay them off?
