What size monocle would a miniature minotaur need, I wonder? Is there an optometrist in the audence? Hiya, Kurt, and toreadors brave to pick on a short sighted, and short, generally, minotaur.

Not for nothing, but having spent a (mercifully) little time in airports in the past ten years, I can just imaging the confused look and caustic comments that would arise if you actually played that piece in a U.S. airport nowadays.
Avatar 3:25pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

there was an airport in europe that played it for a while. someone out there probably knows which one. and i've often listened to it in airports. it's very soothing.
Avatar 3:25pm

That "Music for Airports" was gorgeous. And apropos. In a few hours, I will be outnumbered 2 to 1 by Finn-men. Philo's bro is flying from Helsinki to stay with us (just landed in Chicago).

It's still the defining classic of "ambient" IMO. And very soothing indeed.

that derrida-coleman interview has really been making the rounds lately -- at least it's been popping up in my world a lot. saw a really mediocre job talk for a professorship that focused quite a bit on this interview a couple of years ago. of course, that person got the job.

Ten bucks says within a year there will be a small population of avid listeners who will be able to pick out the original and the MOPDTK versions in a matter of split seconds.
