4'33" isn't a work of silence...

I actually saw a women who was at least pushing late-60s at a Merzbow show with her husband, it blew my mind. I didn't get the nerve up to ask her if she was a fan or if he was dragging here. But I think he was referring to an average 75 year old woman. ;-)

Merzbuy Against the Machine? Might be more difficult to get people to buy that, though.
 
Did anybody read the guy's reaction to being booted off last year? He was shocked by the thought of sweet old grandmothers listening to that in their rooms. I don't know if he was playing for the media or what, but I hope that he doesn't actually think all music made should appeal to 75 year old women...

Having to purchase silence?  What a paradox. I'm pretty sure that's one of the horseman of the apocalypse.

Nice. This one's unlikely to win, though, as I expect people will be less willing to buy their four minutes of silence.

Wait, you can buy an MP3 of 4'33"? That's remarkably pointless, but forcing the radio to go silent for four minutes is absolutely brilliant.

I would be more than happy if I could download silence...

Speaking of which, thanks to the title of the article I have Depeche Mode stuck in my head.
