No Music Day

[Dubversion]

I'd like to think we've seen the last of The Flying Pickets though.

yeh - i was hoping doowop or gospel rather than those twunts.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

That's rubbish

Or do you assume - whenever you 'hear' silence, or as near to it as we get, that somebody nearby is playing a John Cage record?

That's just it though - we never have silence, and when you have sound you can have music.

So on No Music Day, even without putting any music on, you'l be surrounded by music?

Excellent - that's an interesting idea. Good to see you joining in

Nah, on no music day I'll be playing as much as I can, as loud as possible, just to try and ruin it

 

[Dubversion]

so it's caused a reaction. You'll be playing music at least partly for different reasons, so in a sense you're as involved as someone taking part.

I dunno, I've never really needed a reason to make a fuckload of noise

but you just said that you would be doing it bearing in mind that it was No Music Day.

Awwww, fuck off

OK, I'll be doing it anyway, the fact it's NMD is purely coincidental

That's not what you said.

See, there's no escape. The only way to avoid playing music because of no music day, is to NOT play music because of no music day.

mwahaahahah

Errrrrrr, yeah.






Still pretentious bollocks though

 

[Idaho]

It's an interesting enough idea. Although I always forget these things when it comes round to it.

(Recalls walking to work late one september morning in 2002 wondering why there were loads of people standing around looking solemn )

 

[Dj TAB]

is that aimed at me?

I wouldn't go that far no.....

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

if bill drummond cut his own head off i'd do it.

*signs up*

I'm just reading the manual again. I think it might make a good TV show.

 

[Termite Man]

That's not what you said.

mwahaahahah

or to forget that no music day actually exists and then just play music anyway . So Dub your mission now is to stalk bees on no music day and constantly remind him what day it is !

It's this Tuesday! Don't forget.

 

[Termite Man]

It's this Tuesday! Don't forget.

whats this tuesday ?

 

[William of Walworth]

It's this Tuesday! Don't forget.

I won't take any notice of a preordained, predesignated no music day ... if I choose** not to play music, it can be whichever day I like ...

**As in, can't be arsed/too busy ...

In general, I play some music of some sort round about 5 out of 7 days ...

How can you be too busy to not play any music?

 

[chemn]

Anyway, silence is just the gap before the music starts again

 

[DJWrongspeed]

It's today...........I just realised that adhering to this will involve no TV or Cinema or any form of entertainment. Full marks to anyone who spots a bit of music on resonancefm today I wonder whether they can keep it up.

 

[twisted_angel]

Too late for me sorry, im already bouncing in my seat

 

[gentlegreen]

Just sat down at work with my mug of tea, a cake, and some lovely ambient

 

[Onket]

Doof, doof, doof.

 

[Idaho]

... and some lovely ambient

So no music for you then

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

<turns up volume>

 

[rutabowa]

Bill Drummond was on radio 4 talking about this this morning, it sounded like a good idea, too late for me already tho, but still i had a think about it.

It's much harder to do do than I realised. Whilst I have chosen to try and avoid music today, have heard some on the radio at work, on the radio in the cafe, and on Radio 4 (cos I can't get Resonance in my area). Later on when i watch telly I will get adverts, theme tunes etc.

Just because you've heard some music today, doesn't mean you shouldn't try to not listen to any for the rest of the day.

 

[Dj TAB]

Ooooops - I have already failed spectacularly and had some bangin' choons on whilst I got ready for work.

The plumber who is doing some work for us today is also incredulous at the prospect, and has turned his radio up.....

No music day.........grrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[dweller]

Too late , I'm already listening.
Soft Machine first album.
Never heard it before,
thoroughly enjoying it

 

[Idaho]

I haven't listened to any music today. Entirely because I seldom listen to music other than in the evening.
