Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

I'll add too that "The Piano Drop" cut on the new disc is

probably the least interesting one of the whole release.

music lovers, tim hecker's new record brought forth my awareness of this awful activity; perhaps you'll become moved enough to pen a letter to susan yourself, see below...

hello susan

tim hecker's forthcoming album, as perhaps you are aware ( http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2011/01/video-tim-hecker-piano-drop ), has brought my attention to the annual ritual you permit on your grounds. being a music lover i find it appalling. as sure as i am that you get dozens of letters from people like me urging you to cease permitting this bizarre rite, i can only hope i am the straw to the camel's back, and that you will finally consider banning this useless activity. tradition aside, do you even see the point of it? even if nothing is done, i'd be interested in your views here.
