Thank you for that extra weirdness. Always welcome on a greay Monday afternoon

If only one of the audience had decided that sitting still and listening was too "boring" a way of experiencing a lecture, and had instead opted for shoving a huge custard pie into the speaker's pretentious smug face.

Hmm.

At least he admitted that "Is It Music?" was not the question to ask but we should be asking "Is It Interesting?".

Fair point, but the answer is still 'No'.

[Mr. Foxen]

Seems like less good Will Turner-Duffin across the board.

[Roland Rock]

I didn't find him pretentious. Is it interesting? Yes!

[Big_Stu]

It was done years ago - this was more "interesting"

smug?
did we watch the same video?

[Blademan_98]

I am already fairly wierd (check out this months competition lol)

Thanks for that!

[paul_5]

Loved it - good that he didn't take it all too seriously. And yes; I thought it was interesting.

Why is that weird?

Seemd perfectly reasonably and musical to me - maybe I'm weird. Mind you I dig a lot of found percussion and early electronica so its probably a given that I'm a bit more open minded (rather than weird).

For instance, you may not find this very musical, but to me, its genius.....

Oh, you absolutely must have very very decent speakers to get anything out of this at all (and a very quiet listening space).

If you really like [b]bass[/b] you'll love it too

I liked it. I'm not sure whether it was smug or tongue in cheek, but I'm going to go with the latter as that then doesn't detract from my enjoyment of it.
