Working in a library does leave you a bit starved for tunes by the end of the day. But at least I don't have to listen to piped 'elevator music' all day, lol! :)
Isn't it only in Scotland? I've been listening to the Peatbog Faeries all day today in defiance!
And Bill Drummond isnae a wanker, he's a genius. I've a lot of sympathy for his ideas and he's always worth paying attention to. He's right that music has been hugely devalued lately, especially by today's teens. The No Music Day isn't compulsory but just the publicity for it might help put the musical creative process back into some kind of perspective. Your irate post shows the value you put on music so you are actually on the same path as him, believe it or not

Yeah no doubt he provoked a reaction. ;) Which makes it art i guess, well in modern art terms which i don't understand at all. Fair point it was his money but it represents peoples labour and effort. At the end of the day makers of daimond encrusted body parts and novelties need bussiness too ! Indeed its not Bills reponsibility too fix things but goverments only have so much money (Ours !) and they tend to waste a hell of a lot of it. AND now we are having a debate about what money represent ! soooo Bill wins again !!!
You are probably right about me mostly agreeing with him but i think his kind of dramatatism (i hope thats a word ?) makes me feel talked down to or manipulated in some way.
Anway hows you ? Hope you are havin some fun down there. (I am not continuing this.....there is a lota Bill lovc out there ;)
I'm very, very busy just now, my w*rk is seasonal so this is when I earn my living. Looking forward to Spring when I can enjoy myself again. Hope you're well up there.
Just a bit more on burning millions: Felix Dennis (worth over £600mill) was spending £6000 a DAY on crack cocaine a few years ago. Smokers burn loads of money on what is ultimately no more than self-harm. Bill's prank was a one-off and we're still referring to it now.
P.s. I know (knew) him personally and like him a lot. He's a very down-to-earth guy believe it or not.
P.p.s I haven't played any music yet today! Just about to listen to new Darkwater cd, my taste seems distinctly tartan just now :-)
who's crazy idea was this?never heard of it before! i think we should form a lynch mob and start marching on them with pitchforks,burning torchs...and a HUGE FECKIN SOUND SYSTEM BLASTIN OUT TUNES AT STUPID VOLUMES!!! :P
