Pause for "A Space Odyssey Fail"...


We will return to my regularly scheduled posts after this important comedic break...

During a holiday party a few weeks ago, I was informed by my friend Tanya McClure of this uniquely insane clip.  She discovered that in the 70's there were recordings made by a hodgepodge orchestra, consisting of musicians playing an instrument different than what they studied or members untrained in music in any way whatsoever.  They tackled many of the concert Classical standards, but their most... um, memorable effort might be this performance of Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra", made famous by its use in the film 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY.

Enjoy?
