i was actually looking a korg's kaospad a few months ago. they weren't expensive either. Mike Patton is the second one i've heard using it. i saw Radiohead's guitarist use it during a TV live show once before. looked like fun. thanks Tim :)
I actually saw that Radiohead performance on MTV yesterday evening, and if a Kaospad is what I think it is (the guitarist used it during "Everything In It's Right Place", it's a small square pad with an orange-colored touchscreen and some knobs), then another artist who I've seen using it is KK Null during his solo performances.

It took ten minutes of a Haco concert to sell me on one: I was amazed by what she was able to accomplish with a Kaoss Pad, a headset mic, and a three-input mixer a couple of months back. You can't expect it to do much in the way of studio-perfect effects work, but for the cost (mine was about $350 Canadian), it's an amazingly versatile bit of live-performance gear. It's also a lot of fun for day-to-day audio mischief... hooking it up to a VCR or laserdisc player and using it to vandalize stupid movies or TV programs is tremendously satisfying.

While I was reading this, all I could think of was substituting in "Pete Townsend" and "Lifehouse." I read the playscript over the weekend, and can't really figure out why it took so long to finally spit it out. I mean, the ending is a bit bleaker than the transcendent-hippie thing from the original outline, but otherwise, what was the hold-up? (At least with his nutbar plans for the "Lifehouse Method" thing, software development time will make it understandable if we don't hear a peep out of him for the next couple of years.)

So has he been try to revive Lifehouse recently. I thought the strongest material from that era made it to "Who's Next" and the rock opera jones was let out with Quadrophenia (my favorite piece from Townsend or The Who, btw). Is he going let out the pretentiousness and esoterica of Lifehouse see the light of day? Meanwhile, TagYrIt@aol.com wrote (on the subject of "Smile"):
