Saturday Music for the Theremin

THE FUTURIST! believes this weird, haunting, ambient, sci-fi-like piece from the marvelous THE OCTOPUS PROJECT would be the perfect opening theme to a film all about THE FUTURIST! and his sad adventures. So, so far we have the theme by The Octopus Project and the opening credits by Young Sun Compton ... we must find out who will do the film set catering.

A gracious thank you to Robot Girl in Michigan for introducing THE FUTURIST! to this musical group and their strange, pleasingly repetitive sounds featuring the electronic Theremin.

THE FUTURIST!'s Futura Font Message

Pee-rhana

When visiting the Amazon region, do not urinate in the water, faithful readers. Stay on the ground. Please find and station yourself behind a large bush, tree or native hut to relieve yourself; it will satisfy your modesty and not result in having your urethra invaded by a parasite fish that will consume your flesh and blood while residing in your urinary tract. The cultured BBC narrator will explain in the video below. Please hold onto your groin.

Holmes vs Watson

THE FUTURIST! is currently enamored with the comedy of That Mitchell and Webb Look. These two British comic actors are quite clever and perform very literate intelligent humor in a mostly dark manner. One can only hope that, soon, we can savor it on DVD in this country. This sketch involves the jealous rivalry between two British actors portraying Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
