Yes, 10 months? Sorry, slip of the tongue - I only recently became aware of the acquisition on Social Critic's thread, I think, Thanks for the correction.

That's been bothering me all week. I am thinking I need to close out my page there.
It's certainly been bothering the hell out of me since Newscorp bought the site. That aussie fascist is probably selling all of our info to the government.

I don't listen to monk. sorry. But the I thought that the whole thing with being original was to be different. And what kinda of --------------- thinks he gets to "clean up" a famous and respected musicians music. And dissonence is cool. reznor's "Hurt" would not have nearly as mush power if theat note wasn't sour. Damn I'm a poet....

I think the most unbelievable part isn't the guy's audacity but the number of compliments and kudos in the comments.

Davio, that got me too. It has to be contrived. I have a hard time believing all of this is serious.

Monk is one of my favorite artists. When it comes to tension and release and resolution, he got it more than any other artist.

I love dissonance in music; I love Soul Coughing and older Rollins Band and Violent Femmes. The ugly makes you appreciate the beautiful. Makes me happy.

As a side note, if you ever need to do a rock guitar solo and you hit a complete clam, just play that same note another 3 times, and it sounds like you did it on purpose. \:D

Mrs. Monk liked that better than any of his other traits too.

The Bad Plus is supposedly a wickedly talented group; I have a hard time believing they would tell him he's awesome. Joke likelihood: 90%

That's the conclusion reached on the keyboard forum too. They consider it's a piece of 'viral' type adverting by The Bad Plus. I guess whoever made it knew it would be visited by thousands of musicians.
Right now, somebody, somewhere must be trying to think of a way to make money out of that 'Final Countdown' video!

Some buddies of mine, who believe they're "in the know", feel that Groiner actually is the Bad Plus.
