[i promised matt i'd start tonite's diary entry with that.]

sometimes when i'm logging into diaryland i type indie-abba on accident. for some reason, that really cracked me up just now.

i need a theremin.
last nite we went to the studio of a certain local band which shall remain nameless due to the fact that they've become something of an international sensation. we recently became friends with one of them, so now we get to go play with their toys.
it's mighty nice.
(side note: my band is really a band now, and i'm not faking it - even though, really, that's where my heart is.)
i've always liked theremins, but now i've become obsessed. i didn't realize just exactly how difficult those things are to play. it's hard as HELL. but so fucking cool.
generally speaking, the harder something is, the more i want to master it, so it's pretty safe to say that's my next big purchase. (next week, in fact.)
i was wondering though if it would be better to fuck around with it myself, or if i should take lessons. does anyone even give theremin lessons? i've never heard of them, but someone, somewhere, must.
all i know is this:
god bless russian physicists.
