Haha that is AWESOME. Serious win.

I still haven't had time to do one, I've pretty much been busy at work for the past few days (at work right now), but I'll see hopefully I'll have time. Sorry guys!

Masterpiece.

for those of you who don't know "4'33" was a 3 song album by John Cage, (all songs were blank unless you amplified by about 1000%, then it was noise with a small beat at a tempo of like 10bpm) the album last i checked made John Cage over $200. (the title 4'33 was because the length was exactly 4 minutes and 33 seconds)

Uh.... actually it wasn't an album by John Cage. it was a piece written by John Cage who A) Hated recordings and B) Wouldn't have a small beat when amplified by 1000% because that completely goes against the meaning of the piece.

The whole point is to experience the natural world of sounds around you istead of being fixated on what we call music.

"Recordings" of the piece have been made but none were commissioned by Cage himself. Most people when they want to experiment with 4 minutes 33 either set a timer, site down at a piano and follow the bars or see it performed in concert.

From Cage's biggest fanboy

Hey, Conan, I like your rap piece! It described the materialism of the holiday season well.

I'm in, but I probably can't record my Festivus song until the weekend, especially since I want to put some final touches on the lyrics. This morning around 1 AM I woke up because I had to go to the bathroom, but you know how it is when you lie there, debating if you can hold off until morning and then your mind starts to wander and you get thinking about things? Well, the first line of a Festivus song popped into my head, so then I *did* get up and go to the bathroom, where I scrawled most of the rest of the song on a piece of paper while sitting on the can. I thought that was a perfect place for writing a Festivus song. Of course, I write most of my lyrics while in the bathroom, so this morning's experience was pretty standard for me. Odd, but true.
