Caption Contest: A heaping helping of wearable music

We saw this really interesting article & thought you might like it to, so we thought we would share it with you all. Enjoy!

Is this the new musical Power Glove? Imogen Heap thinks so. The Grammy winner rocked the stylish hand warmers at a TEDGlobal 2011 event in Edinburgh, Scotland, creating gesture-based music during a four-minute demonstration, with the gloves wirelessly connected to a nearby laptop. Could this be the death of the theremin as we know it, or just another good excuse to do a caption contest?

Brian: "Imogen there's no heaven."
Terrence: "Ms. Heap hard at work on a sequel to the NES "classic" Bad Street Brawler, tentatively titled Street Corner Complainer."
Darren: "Seriously? Wires?"
Brad: "Now if only I could find some oven mitts that would magically bake cookies for me, I'd be set!"
Jon: "Force enhancing gloves allow Imogen to one up Luke, raise X-Wing."
Tim: "Do I look intense enough now? Too pensive? What if I tilt my head up a bit further?"
Amar: "And then they handed me the Grammy and I grabbed it like this and then -- oh, have I already told you this story?"
Dante: "What do you mean they aren't cashmere?!?!"
Joseph: "So I was holding Bjork's leg up like this, but she still couldn't get over Madonna's gate."
Sean: "To sleep, perchance to dream – ay, there's the rub..."
Christopher: "Please sir, I beg you -- don't take my Flowbee away."
Richard Lai: "Ceiling cat, come to momma."
