Jukka-Poika - Hän Haluaa Huussin

Jukka-Poika was for long the central figure of the Finnish reggae scene, these days he does some solo stuff, and has retired from any active role in the scene.

Johann Sebastian Bach - Praeludium et Fuga in E

He made like fifteen "prelude and fugues" in E though as searching the interwebs tells me, and I have no opus number to reference this specific one.

I wrote about a fish turning into the moon.

You don't get it. 4'33" can only be performed live for a reason; namely, that the content of the piece isn't the silence itself, but the sound that the orchestra and audience make during the unexpected silence. It's up there with Duchamp's Fountain, in that, while it's not very interesting to listen to (Or in the case of the sculpture, not very attractive), it does wonders as a paradigm breaker.

A) "You don't get it" is like the marching anthem of post-modernism B) You fail the thread

Actually it's been the marching anthem of artsy bastards like me since the invention of perspective.

The interviews I've seen he's always expressed annoyance that it was the only thing he wrote that anyone was interested in. In one he said some thing like "The radicals only want to hear 4'33", which is almost nothing, and the conservatives don't want to hear anything at all!".

It is too often forgotten that John Cage was a composer, trained by Henry Cowell and Arnold Schoenberg, who wrote lots of real music. He was not a philosopher posing as a composer. 4'33" is interesting for the theory, but his real music is what earned my respect.

Here is one of his pieces for prepared piano, if you want to hear the man's work.

Runforyerlife - "Te Vi" and "Dr. C. Funk"

This was the album that pretty much ended my interest in third-wave ska. Because every album I heard after simply couldn't compare.
