The Waterphone


(Video Link)


The waterphone is a musical instrument invented by Richard Waters in the 1970s. It has a steel resonator partially filled with water. Rods of various lengths project away from the resonator and can be played by striking with a mallet or stroking with a bow. The eerie music that results has been used extensively in movie soundtracks. Listen to this sample, and you can understand why.

I have a Japanese shirt that says "It's time to be cool like a boy"

I wonder why this specific mistranslation proliferates. I wonder what it is actually intended to convey.

(For the record, this is what a drunk post by Dan Smith looks like)

What a coincidence, I love girlfight too. Mickey, you and I suddenly have a lot in common. I especially enjoy the comment on brinkmanship at the bottom of the shirt.
