Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for March 09, 2010

That was 4’33” by John Cage. And thank you, Mort.

There is music all around us, if only we’d listen. And for those who don’t want to hear it, Mort’s got the plugs for you.

was that a plug for Mort’s company?

Talk about creating your own market.

I’m impressed with the instrumentation in the orchestra. One guy plays a coconut, one beats on a piece of aluminum flashing, and the lady twists a cat’s tail (I guess). The guy with glasses is holding something that actually resembles a woodwind of some sort…………

Atonal music is an oxymoron.

(The “coconut” looks more like a classic cartoon bomb with fuze. The “woodwind” looks more to me like a violin, although I can’t identify the other object he’s holding. As for the “aluminum”, are you sure it’s not a nickel-cobalt alloy? Just kidding.)

LPS (if that IS your real name), never underestimate your readership. The cyberworld swarms with, well, swarms of intelligent and attractive people with nothing better to do.

BTW, Dave (if that IS your real name), I’m happy the Philly Inquirer is now carrying your “Biz” panel (though I wonder why they just dropped “Pearls Before Swine”).

“All the best atonal music from Schoenberg the Stravinsky. Tonight’s featured piece is “Schadenfreude.” Our soloist Erwina Schroedinger simultaneously with and without the cat.”

Hooray for going national! I’ve always enjoyed your strip, Dave! And, yes, I look for the clever little nuances that you put in there.

If you complain about the music, Mort will “plug ya”.

This does, however, help explain the origin of the (music?!?) that the people next door listen to - at Death To The Universe levels. The are the ones who have decided to make their goal in life to be being the biggest possible obnoxious jerks while leeching off of their impoverished, single, worked-to-death mother.

Slipknot, anyone?

i like atonal music though

RabbitNose (sic): So YOU’RE the one!!
