People are having a field day with this. It's self-indulgent but it's intriguing to see how it plays out and how many last the 8-9 hours. I personally couldn't stand to watch anyone noodle around "on the fly" for 8-9 hours on synths.

he suggested people buy it for 99 cents on amazon if they are unfamiliar with the book. I assumed he was talking to himself.

I've read the book at two different times in my life and I'd probably get a lot more out of it if I read it again. I really can't envision what a 8-9 hour musical interpretation of it would look like, but I would be intrigued to find out as I tend to appreciate Billy's musical talent.
I visited the midwest last fall and made the pilgrimage to Madame Zuzu's. There's no way I could be comfortable sitting in that place all day long. And the place can't really fit very many people, so how's this gonna work? |

Not the way it happened. Billy was on Facebook on Christmas eve talking to fans, one mentioned that Christmastime flash video. Billy freaked the fuck out and said something like "You mean the one they post on Netphoria and make fun of me." He then ranted about how it was Christmas and how could anyone do that to him when it was Christmas and he was thinking of his dead mother. He then then deleted the account. No one made any remarks about his mother. They just mentioned the video and he freaked out and mentioned his mother. |

Maybe it had less to do with his mother and more to do with those people acting like jerks. Id want to quit FB if it were me too.
Also that Christmastime video didn't come from here, Murder McMurderson from thepumpkins.net made it. |

I wonder how long of an intermission there will be or if there is one, maybe Billy will have someone spoon feed him while he plays. Also, these tweets between Monte and Zuzus CRACK ME UP: http://imageshack.us/a/img716/5929/ip29.png |

my guess is he won't even be at the tea place for most of the time. i'm sure belly has better things to do than listening to that machine filling eight to nine hours with synthy sounds. |

also, if monty is there, he will be creeped out, and it will make him stay away even longer. he might just start up the whole thing in a minute or ten, and then come back after eight hours to receive the applause of the three people that are still there (probably monty and his two fans).

This is great. I could not think of a better follow up to the Walter E. Smith commercial than this. There are just so many wonderful aspects of this whole thing, the best of which is the idea of Monte attempting to read Siddhartha and possibly spontaneously combusting.
Also, in regards to Billy's Facebook temper tantrum back in 2010, it was proof that he pretty much acts exactly the way he was depicted in that Christmastime video. |
