Ouch, when a girl you like calls you her brother, lame++

she didn't call me her brother, or say "you're like a brother to me".

just that's what the situation feels like.

Yeah, thats what I meant.

Crappy

Sorry to interrupt, but is anyone here remotely knowledgeable in theremins? Preferably outside of naming bands who use/d them, though feel free to name some anyway.

My Dad is making me one actually. Unfortunatly I don't really know anything abotu them, but I suppose I will when he finishes it.

My housemate got one for christmas. What do you want to know about them?

My Music Tech teacher has one, and he's going to lend it to me for my coursework.

We're all linked to the International Theremin Highway somehow.

Just why the vagaries in price, really. For example, you go to sites like [url]www.thereminworld.com[/url], and a "beginner's pre-assembled theremin" is linked to for $300+, but then on eBay there are dozens for >£50. So I'm just wondering what's going on.

[QUOTE=YDload]Does anyone know why LordDargon keeps coming into Alt/Indie? He obviously doesn't like any of the music discussed within.

He comes in here? That's brilliant!!! :lol:


Morbid Angel are anti-christian too aren't they?

Typing on a laptop sucks.

I've only heard three of their albums, but not as far as I can tell. They may have some anti-Christian/anti-religion songs, but overall their lyrics are inspired much more by Lovecraft, fantasy and ancient civilisations (particularly Sumer/ia - some of the lyrics to one of their albums are in Sumerian).

[QUOTE=Wanker]Typing on a laptop sucks.[/QUOTE]

That it does. I managed with one for three years or so though, so I'm sure you can make do for a while. Why are you on a laptop?

I'm not actually very knowledgeable on theremins myself. I know my housemate's is fairly cheap though and it's nothing compared to some of the more 'professional' i've heard so I would guess that there's a fairly large quality range depending on price.

[QUOTE=Wanker]Typing on a laptop sucks.[/QUOTE]

You get used to it. You know Birdcage Man? I drew that on a laptop's little "ThinkPad." It's not the same as a mouse, but I clearly learned to adapt.

And I'm left-handed, using the mouse/thinkpad with my right hand. That's quite an endeavour, as you could imagine.

And to Bartender: The Flaming Lips used a theremin on their cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on Austin City Limits. Coyne handled it well.

Well I own a photo theremin that costs roughly 100 dollars (don't know the exchange rate) and instead of a normal theremin it changes pitch and frequency by light, so you can play it with say a flashlight. It was worthwhile buy to make lots of noise but it's not really possible to "play" one unless you have a good ear for pitch. Here's the site which has a couple of song clips if you're interested. :)

Oh and for a quality attena theremin, $300 sounds just about right. You can get a moog one for that cost.

I came home for the weekend from school so I could work on some projects that are due soon.

Next year, Massachusetts State colleges are implementing a plan where every campus will be wireless and every student at a state college has to own a laptop. I don't why I can't just get a wireless PC Internet card for my PC.

So I'm going to have to use one all the time.

Dolts.

Thanks, WRM (and other thereminny people) :)

Have you actually asked them why you couldn't just get a wireless card for your PC?

I just played an acoustic set at a convalescent home.

Awkward.

You should have played ATDI's "Pattern Against User." I think it's about old people/the feeble. But I guess you can never really tell with those guys, huh?

Yeah, old people are a bit odd.

Bowling and boos or bon fire and boos?
