odd coincidence...I just turned on the television, and who should be on Austin City Limits right now but Thievery Corporation. They're going to rerun it at 3 AM, if you're still awake and near a TV set. Gnarls Barkley is on the 1st half of the show; TC closes.
this is a hands-on sequencer; you have to MIDI it up to a synth to make sound. this is mega-cool user interface - you can pretty much improv entire songs!
If it's coming in that close, I'd much rather see us develop the capacity to capture it. Then park it in geosynch orbit and use it as one end of a space elevator.
