What are you listening to now?

Spent the morning listening to the Sex Pistols but I will get more up to date with some rap in the afternoon.

I've been drinking a little Guinness this lunchtime (draught beer, but in a can, would you believe!?). This must be the reason why I don't understand "celebrating the day that's in it". Sorry.

Just a thought : wasn't Peter going to launch a programme music thread?

Odd comment in this thread - weren't you going to reply to the Pierre Schaeffer article?

Listening to de Falla's Nights in the Gardens of Spain and Byrd's Infelix ego - both at the same time in true Cageian fashion.

I was. And I will. And you?

I'm listening to the sounds of helicopters flying around as they prepare for the NATO summit this coming Friday and Saturday. No joke : I live in the city centre, which has been designated a "red zone". If I want to go shopping I have to carry a special orange "badge" in order to be let through the barricades. Talk about a siege!

PS : I still don't understand Michael's "celebrating the day that's in it". Did I drink too much Guinness at lunchtime?

It's April 1st over here, not sure about Strasbourg!

Ah, the penny has just dropped...
Well done, Michael, I should have known better!

And, as yesterday was, indeed, the first of April the local classical music radio station played several works of the infamous P.D.Q. Bach. A couple of the selections I was able to tune into were the masterpieces, the Schleptet in E Flat and "Iphigenia in Brookland".

I love the Schleptet - didn't he write a ninnet as well? Good old PDQ!
Listening still to the other son CPE and his excellent Wurttemberg sonatas.

Don't forget JCB who broke new ground in music.

There's just so many of them - a glance at this family tree is of interest, though they've left out poor old PDQ for some unfathomable reason!
