I googled "theremin kit" and came up with a lot of matches....
If any of them are porn, I do not want to know.
And after that, saying "I don't Google enough" sounds all sorts of wrong...

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Or if you want to be super extra special double-fudge geeky, you can forgo a kit and build a theremin from scratch: [link]

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I remember Valerie from Mistle Thrush thanking her dad for helping her build her theremin.
She played with us at one gig. IIRC, she used a PAIA Theremax. It's one of the most popular theremin kits for hobbyists, but it's (more) difficult to play musically.
The Etherwave I mentioned above also comes in kit form (for $50 less than the finished version), but the circuit board is preassembled, so it's not nearly as overwhelming to build as the PAIA. I bought my Etherwave from a kit and, with barely any soldering experience, assembled the electronics in an evening. Sanding, staining and varnishing the case, on the other hand, took a few days.
And Abraham is adorable!

She played with us at one gig.
I was always disappointed she didn't do more with hers. Usually only "I Scare Myself" which generally closed their set. The only time I saw her really cut loose with it for a whole show was when they opened for SPIRITUALIZED at Axis and they played a MUCH more free-form gig.
Given congrats to Hayden in natter, but, realizing now that I don't think he gets over there, here's another!!! CONGRATS to the Hayden famileeeeeee!!!!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Congrats to the hayden family!

Alicia:
Have any of you iPod owners had problems with some CDs not converting properly? Mindy Smith and the latest Diana Krall will not convert, damn them!
It acts like it's working fine, but when it's done, the length field says "not available." And there's nothing there to play.
Do the CDs say anything about being copy protected? I've got an advance promo of the Krall CD & it has copy protection warnings on it. It won't play or let me extract songs on the PC.
