Reader Gordon Charlton sent word about Grieg Stewart, aka Theremin Hero, who will be appearing in the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent on Thursday, playing classic game tunes on hacked video game consoles, controlled by a laser harp.
That’s right – he’s got frikkin’ lasers controlling 8-bit synth chips.
Unfortunately, the video can’t be embedded – so check it out on YouTube.
His complete semi-final performance will be broadcast on Thursday on ITV1 between 7:30pm and 9:00pm British Summer Time.

That was okay! It’s a short clip but had a lot–
Simon’s reaction was funny.
It’s not in the clip, but it reminds me that sometimes I make fun of the Jupiter-80, but the Jupiter has a D-Beam controller.
But the best part was the very beginning with the THREE SEXY GIRLS IN POLKA DOTS. I’m going to be thinking about this all day now, sexy British girls in skimpy polka dot dresses.

Yeah but there’s three of them so it’s like they’re 36.

Not a personal attack. It was intended as a playful joke. I’m sorry if offense was taken.
