Someone stole my "Theremin Hero" video game idea.
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Ha! I like the commenter who said "This would be really neat if you had a second wiimote set to control volume so you could do vibrato and swells."
And then there's this comment exchange:
zerolr(12 hours ago): the control was made for that song.. lol Great idea, is there anything the wiimote can't do?
IsThisInfected (3 hours ago): It can't find you a girlfriend.

Speaking of Theremin, I got my copy of The Sandanista Project yesterday. I only got around to listening to The Lothar's track, but it was fun.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We had ouf baseball team's season ending potluck tonight.
So, I'm chatting with David B., father of Eli B. (one of my players). I knew he was a journalist, but he's also a jazz musician and has interviewed a lot of jazz musicians. Like who? I ask. Ella Fitzgerald, Wayne Shorter, Gil Evans, Tony Williams....
Cool, huh?
Even cooler, he mentions Emil Richards. I say, "That's interesting Emil Richards has a part in the Tom Waits book I'm writing. Victor Feldman took Tom Waits over to Emil Richards place, and Tom chose all the exotic percussion he used on Swordfishtrombones from Emil's collection."
Another parent standing by, Lee (father to Eli T. - the other Eli on the team - pipes up) - "Oh we recorded Emil Richards once at my studio."
Now I knew Lee was some kind of sound engineer but had never really talked to him about it.
Turns out that Lee and his wife Phyllis not only run this studio, but they're also Bill Frissell's manager.
In short, I'm on the guest list the next time Bill plays locally.

Who knew the worlds of Little League and jazz recording crossed over so well?

I was talking to the bartender tonight, and it turns out that she was at this video shoot in Brooklyn with Joan Jett and Carmen Electra. She said that Joan was checking out Carmen the entire time. It may have been where they met.

Is it just me, or does Joan Jett look like she's had some serious face work done?

Jon, if you get the Disney channel, you really need to record the episode of Kim Possible that airs this Sunday at 8:00pm. It features a math-themed villain called The Mathter.
OK, that was great. Did you already know the boyfriend's dad was an actuary?

That was the second actuarial episode they've had this season. (The other one is called "Odds Man In" if you want to catch a rerun). And they established that Ron's dad was an actuary a couple of seasons ago. KP has a continuity that puts most prime-time series to shame.
