This is not the most unwanted song in the world, no, this is just a tribute...

Lots of links today.

*The first one is a post on literary agent Nathan Bransford's blog where he invites would-be authors to play fantasy basketball with him this March. Score the highest in his league with your predictions and win either a query letter evaluation or a book from one of his clients.

I've made my picks... I've practiced basketball twice and never watched it, not even on TV. I don't think it's shown on TV in any of the countries I've lived and I wouldn't even have known it was basketball if Nathan hadn't said. But there you go. I've entered anyway.

*Fanart of Sebastian (Kuroshitsuji) linked to by

sharona1x2.

*Weiss Kreuz caps by

indelicateink.

*Man writes his resignation letter on a cake. Mostly I'm just looking at his outfit though. Love the shirt/waistcoat combination.

*The most unwanted song, scientifically composed. I stopped it about two minutes in, mostly because I have a very short attention span. How did you do?

Couldn't take the cowboy horse-hoof sounds any more.

I got as far as the singing. I don't know if that's further or not, but I'm not going to check! :)

Are you going to the Tokyo Anime Fair tomorrow?

I have other plans tomorrow, and in factI had not heard of the event until you mentioned it. XD;;

I have to admit, I bought the CD when it first came out in the late 90s (an art center not too far away was selling copies) and listened to it while I puttered around the house. I thought the whole project was hilarious (and yes, the song sucked).

It sounds like the kind of CD I'd buy to put in my collection rather than ever listen to. :)

Well... it's true I haven't listened to it since, LOL.

I first heard about it on a US public radio show, This American Life, which talked about the project - and the composers in general - for about ten minutes. From what I remember thinking, the song (and their work) indirectly slams quantifying *everything* in life... and it's just funny.

Just after 9 minutes the novelty started to wear off and I got bored. I’ve got to agree with at least one of the comments that after a while it just becomes a pointless exercise.

I agree. As for mixing musical styles (modern), Girl Talk did it better.

The only reason I stopped was because I had other things to do.

Yeah, I wouldn't really describe it as "composed".

I listened to all of it.

I'm now tempted to

[x] commit suicide

[x] commit genocide
[x] never click on any link in your LJ, EVER AGAIN

I gave up on the song pretty early, mainly because I don't like harmonica music.

The guy who did his resignation letter on the cake was brilliant. ^_____^

I got distracted like you so I didn't hear much of it. But it amuses me greatly, since each aspect, is good in certain songs, but not necessarily together hahahaha.

I don't know... they seem more like samples linked together, with at least one likely to annoy you.
