Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.

Whenever there's a new music, there's a new way of listening. And whenever there's a new way of listening, there are new musics that follow from that. And people start listening differently - that can either mean in different places or at different volumes or in different social groups or through different technologies.

I'm bloody awful at multi-tasking.
Brian Eno
Image
I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence , heightened sexual attractiveness, and a better sense of humor.
