I would just like to mention that Cobra Starship + tiny venue = so much fun, I'm surprised it's legal.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

This one's for Corwood:
On the one hand, Mr. Monk had obvious talents, but on the other hand, his piano playing was very messy, and his songs had many funny notes and rhythms. Over the many years that I have been studying his music, I have grown to the conclusion that his songs would be much better, and much more popular, if many of the dissonances, or "wrong notes," were removed. With my new CD, "Hans Groiner Plays Monk," I have done just that.

Wow, talk about your profound point-missing. I wonder if he'll clean up Cecil Taylor next.

The name "Hans Groiner" sounds like something out of Pynchon.

Pynchon is a musician, y'know. Maybe this is one of his jokes.

It wouldn't at all surprise me. After agreeing to do THE SIMPSONS cameo, nothing he does would surprise me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I first read the quote (without going to the myspace page) I just assumed it was parody....
A lot of the comments seem to think this is a joke.

Ah, I didn't read the comments and only played a tiny piece of one of the compositions. Someone already made that Cecil Taylor joke.

It's definitely a parody. You need to watch the embedded youtube video on the page.

Well, he does come from the same Austrian village as Hitler.
