Gasp!

How dare you?

David Tennant is anything but stale!
Daleks, Cybermen, Planet Midnight?

I’m hurt. I really am.

actually, i disagree. doctor who gets a little stale and repetitive some times, but then again, isn’t that just another hallmark of sci fi? lol

Cmon, no love for Doctor Who? The longest running Sci Fi television series in the history of television?

The writing has been far more creative than any other Sci Fi program, in my opinion.

oh please. everyone knows the longest piece of music is written and performed by me. the performance began in 1973. no notes have been heard yet and it won’t be complete for a billion years.
it’s all rests. except for occasional humming – those are improvised solos.
what a bunch of monkeypoop.

I, for one, would like to see the sheet music for “As Slow As Possible”. It seems more like a cry for attention than anything else, but maybe I just don’t get it until I see it myself.

@beth, A piece of music can start with rests. (And, as Cage pointed out before in 4′33″, rests are still music.)

That “As Slow as Possible” seems a little ridiculous to me. i would be pissed if i worked at the church that it is being “performed” at and had to hear one note played constantly for a year (or however long they’re played). Just sounds like a bunch of nensense to me

Cage is responsible for some…amazing…music. I especially like 4′33″ (4 minutes and 33 seconds).

I think “As Slow as Possible” might be worth an independent article. Sounds like there are many potentially bizarre things going on there!

ok, maybe I’M slow, but how did the Cage piece “start” if the first note was not played until nearly 2 years after it began.
