Wind Chimes
 

FUCK OFF

I quite like the wooden ones.

There's loads of them. It seems that everyone has them now. They really, really annoy me. I want to kill them dead.

I think the main problem with them is that people buy cheap rubbish that looks like cheap rubbish and sounds like cheap rubbish. There's nice ones available that make lovely sounds, quite pleasing.

But if you really really dislike them then I'm unlikely to convince you.

They can be very annoying. I used to live next door to somebody who had them in their garden and the sound is continuous at least throughout the Autumn and Winter. Just cut them down under the cover of darkness and hang a dead chicken (or a rubber chicken will do) in their place. That'll stop them.

I was in a bad mood that day. Because of cheap windchimes. There's a trend in my neighbourhood for rubbish cheap ones. I don't mind them too much, if they're not rubbish cheap ones.

What inspired you to drag this thread up from the depths then?

Not really sure. It's a perfectly good thread that didn't get the responses it merited.

Our neighbours have a cheapish metal affair, but we struck back with a top-notch bamboo set-up. I can hear ours now.

Indeed, Hip Priest. I didn't notice how long ago you'd started the thread.

It's nice to find old threads. Give it a go.

Choose a member, look though his or her threads started, and pick one.

Splendid idea sir, splendid!

I have a windchime. I keep it indoors.

I've been told by more than person claiming to be in the know that you are supposed to keep them in indoors, in the porch, so that they chime when the front door is opened.

I imagine there's a tremendously good reason for it.

I love them, they sound so creepy.

I have an old (grade three or lower, made by mine own hands) one in my basement, in my "percussion" setup (drums and some different metal cans and pipes and things).

It's made of a boomerang and some thin metal bars taped+stringed to the holes on the boomerang object. It's a beaut.

It's quite sweet incidentally that people voted in the poll.

ha, was that a brasseye reference?

guess i'll vote for "fuck off" then... it doesn't have any votes yet.

I love them. Reminds me of when I was just a whippersnapper beacuse my mom had tonnes. Plus you can sample them and use the sound in Rather Ripped remixes to improve the quality of the album

i like the sound of them in songs and have used them in my music but they can be exremely irritating.

Kind of. It's more one of those phrases that I stole and forgot that I stole. It's very much part of my general day-to-day talk. For instance - "Look at that cunt Jamie Oliver. I'd like to kill him dead" or, a particular favourite greeting - "Die! I'm going to kill you with death".

Fucking hate them. Fuck them. Fucking windchimes.

My friend has a windchime in between his screen door and storm door. It's the most annoying piece of shit ever. I hit it every fucking time I go over there. I'm contemplating not being his friend anymore.
