I'll paraphrase a friend here: I'd like to punch John Cage in the face tomorrow, then wait eight years to punch him again.

i for one think minimalism is pretty swell...not for every occasion, but listening to one chord drone on for a couple years every now and then...

oh, and as far as the punching John Cage comment, the actual length of the piece is not part of the composition, but the interpretation of the specific performance...but reading more than the headline is no fun is it?

and on an unrelated note, that icon's pretty swell! (Elvin Jones is my current avatar at the electrical audio message board...)
