Just for fun, a special thanks to alert Namba Gear fan, Dave from the UK, for providing a great example of our slogan, Primitive Technology.

Alert Namba Gear fan Jeff from Colorado sent us this photo of the latest in Belgium Mobile DJ rigs. This starts to explain the curious inquiries we’ve had from the Benelux region lately asking for a really large Big Namba Studio Backpack.

Our longtime friend Bill in Austin, TX alerted us to this recent video posting as another reminder of why you always want to use your Namba Gear bags & backpacks to carry-on your musical/audio gear and laptop when traveling by air. Here is the story:
“In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise. Follow me at http://twitter.com/DaveCarroll .”

Just a little something from Tribal Drums to brighten your day; the Lantern Festival in Taiwan. I would love to actually see this… thousands of huge brightly lit lanterns floating in the night sky.

Maybe it’s because we just attended the ASCAP Expo and are really tuned into song structure, but the Ben E King song “Stand By Me” has got to rank up there as one of the greats. We happened across this video which uses street musicians and takes this song to totally new heights. Although we didn’t observe any Namba Gear, it is obvious that the producers of Playing for Change embraced the mobile studio idea to travel the world in order to realise their vision for this song. Amazing, awesome, inspiring. Enjoy.

And what discussion of All Good Things Namba would be complete without a mention of NAMBA, the acronym for North American Model Boat Association. NAMBA International is a non-profit association of radio-controlled model boat clubs. The club appoints knowledgeable chairmen in such areas as Electric, Offshore, Sport Hydro, Outboard, and Unlimited Hydro.
These guys take their “sport” very seriously, that is until you start checking out the videos on YouTube. Then you find out that they: put explosives on their toy boats and blow them up; tie a line with bait onto the back of the model boat and troll for fish; annoy alligators and get them to chase their model boats.
Here is a little video sampler for you.
