What, no Andriessen's Worker's Union?
No, but maybe De Staat later.
And maybe some Ligeti, too.
But tomorrow it's a lounge Christmas kind of day.
And just to bake your noodle maybe some Boulez too!
It's a Boulez Christmas, Charlie Brown!
Why don't you throw in some Coldplay and some Jimmy Eat World while you're at it.
You love "baking my noodle"... are you the Oracle?
Seriously, though, what would happen if you played the atrocious Worker's Union at the box office? I'd like to hear people's reactions...
Actually we HAVE played 'Worker's Union' in the phone room, although I take expection to the term "atrocious." Not everybody's cup of tea, perhaps, but friends of mine that have played it loved doing so, and I do think it makes its political point most effectively. Maybe when I have a piece that has been played as many hundreds of times as this one has, I'll perhaps be more critical. It's fun; musicians like it.
I was waiting...
