APRIL MEFI MUSIC CHALLENGE

April 1, 2010 10:50 AM

This month of April, starting as it does on the first, is a special one, and calls for a very special, April-y sort of Challenge. So, your mission, Mefi musicians, should you decide to accept it, is... make a song with a half a note. You can take a note and saw it in half, burn half of it off, slice it in half with a razor, whatever. But however you do it, your song must contain ONLY half of a note. No more, no less.

I'm not being schizoid or anything, but I've half a mind to take a shot at this Flapjax. Can I use my Mum's egg slicer though? You know - those weird little wire contraptions. I could get half of a half of a half a half note then. Maybe.

Don't shoot me Dundee, don't shoot me!

I get it! You're making a highly esoteric but hilarious reference to the ancient Mayan practice of making an ear of corn levitate, through a deft use of the numerical relationships of the letters of your comment, as well as the (somewhat more obvious but funny nonetheless) pun involving the well-known (in academic circles) interrelationships between Aztec and Mayan grammatical structures. Bravo!

Try again, sir. This is the Metafilter Music Challenge, not some picnic in Ponyland.

Worked for Jerry Garcia!

So, you've never jammed out with Quetzalcoatle? I have and totally recommend it. You've got to burn some copal though, or he totally lags. Just like Jerry Garcia, when he wasn't burning, uh, something or other.

Ok - here's the Easter Holiday Mini-Challenge: complete the other half of the note that pyramid termite has posted. The winner gets to grab a handful of PT's plums. Form an orderly queue please ladies.....
