The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 10, 2016

Oh? Have you ever listened to “Switched On Bach”? Dance music? Not so much. Electronic? 100%.

2016? You’d be about 20 years too late…

Well, maybe they’ve Britten off more than they can chew.

but I think they can get a Handel on it in 2016…..

There’s still a pretty long Liszt.

And, say… it’s not like they need to be Haydn,

but if they don’t want to stick out,

they could do a little clothes Chopin….

Maybe see a Schuman and a Barber, too.

Don’t mind my dog – he’ll offenbach, but his bach’s worse than his bitehoven.

Stop off at 1977 and see if you can disrupt Saturday Night Fever.

If only…

I don’t think I can bear to hear Huey Lewis sing Bach In Time one more time.

Ah, if only electronic dance music were the worst thing to happen in 2016…

I’ve often said the world would’ve been better off if the advance of technology had been suspended after the invention of the pipe organ.

I like electronic dance music.

Bach To The Future.

Rock and roll saved me from Bach (= Boring) DooWop, Psychadelic, Metal, I love it all.

EVERYTHING beats drum solos.

I have heard that name before. http://www.bachtothefuture.net/

Don’t worry Johann, it’s safe to get in. Dr Brown has your Bach.

Switch on that Bach! Wendy Carlos, where are you?

Good thing he isn’t talking to Mozart. Ol’ Wolfgang was all in for the latest technology, and would have probably started writing his own electronic music.

DeLorean, boss. DeLorean.Who doesn’t love Bachman-Turner Overdrive?

A nice play on words. I can hear the Doc now.

Bach was no slouch in the innovations department.

I’ve often thought Hendrix and Bach would have been musical pals in time warp land.

Or at least get some residuals from Wendy Carlos.
