Some articles~

Stumbled on mucc's palm reading experience. It's quite an interesting read. :)

Miya mentioned in the Oct Fool's Mate article that the guitar solos in [isho] were actually played using the e-bow. I'm no guitarist, so I had to search the web to find out what that means.

e-bow.com has quite a lot of info on this guitar effect. Essentially, the e-bow is a hand-held electronic bow for the guitar. You can see on the website what it looks like -- a somewhat small, battery-operated device you use with your right hand (instead of the pick). There are some sound samples here showing how it allows the guitarist to mimic strings, and woodwinds and even the harmonica.
