Moment of Silence
Kyle Gann's ongoing John Cage project has resulted in the best "desperately seeking disc"-type post I've ever seen:One thing I could sure use before finishing this book on 4'33" is an obscure recording on the Korm Plastics label called 45'18" (Forty-five Minutes, Eighteen Seconds). It's a CD of nine versions of 4'33" by Thurston Moore, Keith Rowe, the Deep Listening Band, Voice Crack, and others. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere at the moment. Is there someone out there who could dupe me a copy, with program info? I'd gladly pay a reasonable price for a CDR. (I mean, I am paying basically for silence, but it's really important silence.)Please, people, if you have that disc, or know someone who does, help a brother out. And Jesus, don't make him pay for it! Who does that??

This page shows it as orderable from Korm Plastics. Ninth one down. Don't know if it really is.
Hooray! But, blast, I put the post in my queue yesterday and wouldn't you know a commenter over there had dug the disc up before this even hit the internets.
Oh well, it gave me an excuse to steal that picture...
