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.
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!

I tried but all I ended up was four eight notes: ♫ ♫
Try again, sir. This is the Metafilter Music Challenge, not some picnic in Ponyland.
How about if I play the note with half a finger?
Worked for Jerry Garcia!
TVHP - te. That's my contribution.
haha! You guys are killing me with the Mayan Levitating Corn gags! Stop!

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.....
