Former KLF Frontman Orders Day-Long Moment of Silence, Is Douchebag

11/21/06, 4:23 pm EST

Conceptual artist/lunatic Bill Drummond has apparently anointed today the official No Music Day in Britain, according to The Sun. No explanation is offered for how Drummond and his band of silence police plan to enforce a series of rules that include no singing of hymns, no rocking of rock bands, no lifting of piano lids and no jangling of jingles (we did not make this up). We think this is some seriously inane bullshit, but we’re not gonna judge. Here’s three things we suggest doing in honor of No Music Day. How will you observe (the rest of) this completely fabricated occasion?

  • Not listen to the Beatles’ Revolver
  • Not honk one’s horn in a way that could be misconstrued as patterned
  • Listen to the sound of silence but not “The Sound Of Silence”

I wonder if Bill will be sacrifically slaughtering any more sheep to honour this occasion? Do their dying gasps count as music?

Can you say pretentious assbag? Yeah, I think that’s what it’d say next to Bill Drummond in the dictionary…of course, he’d never make it in. What a tool.

Hmmm… i think you’re taking this a little seriously. It’s cute.

Elizabeth darling! How terribly passive/aggressive of you: “We think this is some seriously inane bullshit, but we’re not gonna judge.” Ooops!Too late.By the way, you may have been playing “flick football” in class this day but it IS okay to judge when writing a review. That is just FYI sweetie, FYI!
I always find it amusing when those who think themselves snide always tend to make that which they are ridiculing seem suddenly
worthy of investigation. Somehow you were utterly appalled at this “inane bullshit” but could not create a single sentence to fully describe what the hell you are talking about. Now I am dying to know how one goes about jangling their jingles and why we are not to do it today. (So polite those Brits; they can make having your uterus scraped sound like a fairy tale.) Jangleing of Jingles. How terribly odd this “Douche Bag” is. Iwonder what this is all about? Oops—Point well not made at all dear! Really, sweets those six years you spent volunteering on your high school paper ( “The Buckaneer’s Scroll” no doubt) have really almost paid for themselves!
Keep up the good work and pretty soon you will be able to not explain something in a full length article!

hey, we observed this in the cafe I work at and it was great. We are bombarded by music all the time… leaking out of cars and ipods from tvs and in department stores… it was great to just have silence for a day if only to remember why we cover that silence so desperately. If you think about it, it is totally a worthy experiment.
