Greatest Sh!ts of fire! As the world is increasingly run by Sh!ts, Gordon singles out a carefully curated selection of the current Toppermost of the Sh!t Poppermost for intense scrutiny. Their utterances, whether demented, deluded or frankly bonkers, provide the basis for new compositions.
In Greatest Sh!ts, Gordon hones in selected utterances of the powerful and prominent regardless of the impressive length of their ties, the rumpledness of their blonde hair, the profundity of their bank accounts or the gleam of their bared torsos. He transforms their speech patterns into musical compositions, selecting choice passages for transcription, underlining key elements and identifying semantic highlights.
When quizzed about his ‘weird time signatures’, (American composer) Frank Zappa felt that the ‘the weirdest time signature of all is 4:4’, noting that human speech takes place in not common but in compound time. Therefore much of Greatest Sh!ts takes place in weird time signatures, but fuhgeddaboudit, there is still enough electric guitar and bass to satisfy even the most convoluted thinker or conspiracy theorist. Hold on, aren’t they the same? Whatever…

In my fucking cuntry shit is used to describe dirty, like the dinner table is dirty, means the table has shit on it.
Do you know why Keith Emersun of ELP killed himself? I wunder.
The use of the term is the same here, and is so intended in this release. These nine individuals are good examples, I think, although some are clearly covered with more shit than others…
Poor old Keith Emerson had some physical issues which affected his playing ability, I think.
Clever stuff. Hope you get this new project off the ground.
On a different tack, wasn’t there a Radio Stars box set in the pipeline?
Thanks! As for Radio Stars, there was indeed (and is) a box: https://martingordon.de/thinking-inside-box/
Thinking to me Keith Emerson had other problems, you think too ?
Anyvay , you and your familie must stay indoors because a lioness is loose in Berlin!
Well, you are right about the lioness! I am just going out – I may be some time…
In Germany, the (rather conservative and respectable) newsreaders often trot out ‘shitstorm’, as if it were part of ‘normal’ communications. But hey, what’s ‘normal’ in these curious times? My feeling is that young peeble are responsible.
Not only are these Sh!ts but people all over the ‘net use the word sh!t to describe products, software, companies and other internet users. What’s happened to common courtesy and decency. Why are there so many sh!ts in the world?
