[more at > http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,1847303,00.html ] Oh, I dunno - I think it's kind of cool: I wonder what it would be like for a note to be sounding continuously for years, literally? (They're using weights to hold down the keys of the organ. Of course, some punk kid will come in and play a wrong note by moving the weights or something...Then again, Cage might have welcomed that.) It'd be interesting if the piece were more automated...and distributed. And if the general public didn't know about it. So, you're sitting down for lunch one day in a restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa, and suddenly the organ in the church across the street sounds a chord...and it just keeps going. You forget about it entirely...until twenty years later, you're wandering down the street in Belgrade, and a different organ sounds a different chord. Suddenly, you remember... You'd also be massively spooked, I'm sure. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2006 00:20:09 -0800 (PST) From: Jeff Dwarf Subject: At the end of Keith Olbermann tonight I was unable to change the channel before hearing that apparently Rita Cosby is now covering the Harvey family murder, so they now get to be exploited in death and are potentially the next news carnival snuff show.

That cover is no doubt far creepier and more ghoulish than the real one though. Sadly, my mother owns that album. Because why wouldn't you want to listen to standards sung by Nat Cole or Tony Bennett when you can hear them crooned by the wanker from The Faces.
