"BuffyBot" ,'Dirty Girls'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Hey Jon - I was just poking around this blog entry on Theremins [link] and was wondering what your take was on optical Theremins? Do they, like, totally suck? (An optical Theremin uses the amount of light hitting a photoresistor to determine the pitch. So you wave your hands above it to alter the amount of light it receives.)
Every so often I'm tempted to buy a kit and build my own Theremin. The one at the top of the blog posting looks like it'd be easy to make....
Do they, like, totally suck?
Yes. They're difficult to control, and they don't have the richness of sound that a true heterodyne instrument would have.
Yesterday, while Drew and MM were playing Guitar Hero, we discussed the possibility of a Theremin Hero game. It would be perfect for the Wii.
That would totally rock.
The Phil Spector murder trial looks like it might be a doozy.

WTF?
I have a feeling we may never know what really happened....
Anyone here familiar with The Winterpills? I must have listened to their song 'Broken Arm' 75 times in the last three days.
Hunt for treasure, just like Bill Wyman and get your own Bill Wyman Signature Metal Detector! (WTF?)
Anyone here familiar with The Winterpills?
Yes! They're local to me (western Mass.) and I'm going to see them play with Fountains of Wayne next week. They're pretty rad. I only have their first album so far but I like it lots.
I saw the Thermals last Friday and it rocked. I'm like addicted to their latest CD. "I might need you to kill!"
