“Think of the phrase ‘The ripping of the fabric of time and space’. I wanted to get that ‘tearing’ sound. So I went to a piano that had all its front taken off and it was just a frame with the strings.  I took a key, my front door key and scraped it down one of the strings.  That gave the ‘rippy’ sort of sound. We then took that and changed the speed of it so we could get different pitches. We cut those together, literally cutting the tape with a razor blade and sticking it together. We played it through feedback machines and you play the sound back upon itself as it’s recording so you get this ripple effect of the echo.  And if you do that when the sound is being played backwards, the echo appears to come towards you. If you then turn it around so that the sound is going forwards, it appears to be going away from you. I wanted to get that ‘coming and going’ sound, the rising and falling.”

-Brian Hodgson, describing how he created the materialisation/de-materialisation sound of the TARDIS. A sound that is of course still used today. (Taken from the DW origins Documentary)

#this is pretty much *not* me at all #(I like my water lukewarm) #(and I generally sing Everything is Ending in the shower) #(which is probably where my increasing tendency to sing in a British accent comes from) #(even when both me and the song would normally sound American) #(it just seems wrong now to pronounce can’t in an American way when singing) #anyway #still hilarious though

Hi guys, My name is Kyle. I am 18 and a transgender male.

We only have 1 MONTH (till december 19, 2012) to get 25,000 signatures on the petition I just created for the white house to review. It is basically asking them to provide coverage for transgender surgeries and hormonal treatment. Here is a link to the exact petition: 

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/provide-financial-coverage-sex-reassignment-surgeries-transgender-americans/SXvgvYhv

Come on guys, I have seen the dumbest posts on here get a million notes. All we need is 25,000. So REBLOG REBLOG. And tell you friends and such. It takes 2 seconds and can really make a difference in someones life. Being transgender is both a medical and emotional condition that DESERVES coverage. The cost of these things make goals for some seem almost unreachable. 

 

radicalhat:

PLEASE
THIS WOULD MEAN SO MUCH TO ME

 

h33h33h33:

only 321 signatures, but 900+ notes?

 

radicalhat:

what the fuck tumblr

ok

ok

you do all your social justice shit

but when it matters

YOU DONT SIGN IT?

 

fy0ra:

THIS HAS ALARMINGLY LOW SIGNATURES OH MY FUCKING GOD PLEASE SIGN THIS?????? PLEASE

 

radicalhat:

im going to keep reblogging this because

you know what?

this is VERY VERY VERY important to me

 

anshinwrites:

no seriously though

WHY DOES THIS LITERALLY HAVE 1000 MORE NOTES THAN SIGNATURES

WHAT THE FUCK ARE ALL OF YOU ASSHOLES DOING

SIGNAL BOOSTING IS GREAT BUT GO SIGN THE FUCKING PETITION

Because the non-Americans were scared off by the state and ZIP fields on the sign-up page? I know up until now I hadn’t noticed those fields are not required, and nothing in the Terms of Participation says you have to live in America.

So, they do (indirectly) ask if you’re American, but they don’t complain if you refuse to answer. No need to let a bit of geography stop you. Go, click.
