Oct 30, 2004 12:59 pm That, is mad!!
Who the hell could ever listen to that...well, certainly for that length of time which presumably someone intended folk to do at some point!!
Still...original I guess.

Oct 30, 2004 03:46 pm i wonder if a variation of this idea would work for a collab. everyone adds a movement to an ongoing piece or something. there'd have to be rules to keep it from sounding like a bunch of songs pasted together.
Oct 30, 2004 04:05 pm Geez, and I thought "Alice's Restaurant" was a long song!
I like the collab idea. We would have to have some kind of common threads in each section to make more cohesive ($10.00 word)

Oct 30, 2004 04:19 pm You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant....ah, the memories...smokin' a fat spleef with my friends every thanksgiving watching Alice's Restaurant laughing like the stupid stoners we were.
"Yes, I confess sheriff, I put that envelope under that big pile of trash"
"We got rakes, shovels and other implements of destruction..."
Ah, what a flick...whats a song...timeless, wonderful memories of youth.

"I wanna see blood n' pouring guts, n' viens in my teeth!"
Oct 31, 2004 01:55 am you think that's a long song.

Oct 31, 2004 11:42 am ...from that same article:
"The performance follows a legal case in which composer Mike Batt was forced to pay a six-figure sum to Cage's publishers, who accused him of plagiarising a silent piece of music."
Bwahahahahahaha!!! I know what piece of music they're talking about. So, that means that all of us are ripping off Cage anytime we're NOT playing music?
Oct 31, 2004 01:29 pm YES i saw that too hahahahah. that was the song where the guy would walk onto the stage, sit down at the piano, and the "music" was supposed to be the people coughing and whispering in the hall, right? then the guy would get up and leave.
