I heard...
This year it's to be "Surfin' Bird" Family guy version.
Shame. If it were the Cramps version I'd have been right behind it again!

There's quite a bit of support for
4'33" by John Cage.

*hopes*

See I'm torn...
...I absolutely LOVE the trolling effect of 4'33" as Xmas No.1, but I cannot bear to consider most of the works of John Cage (4'33" included) under the title of "Music".

Art maybe...but not music.

I have a friend
that used to record classical music for a living and he was tasked with recording this. They hired a studio (I don't know for how long, at least a day though), a piano, a professional pianist, they spent hours setting up microphones in just the right places and setting levels.

The biggest problem that they had was when authoring the CD, you see, a CD track has a length and that length is displayed on the display on the front of the CD player. It just happens that the time displayed is actually a second or so LONGER than the actual time of the track. They wanted the track to display as being exactly 04:33 and they wanted the track to be exactly 04:33 long, it was very difficult to achieve this.

I also just looked up and enjoyed this www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUJagb7hL0E
