From this week's onion (www.theonion.com):
'Atonal Composers Gather For Atony Awards
HOLLYWOOD, CA -- The recording industry's top atonal composers gathered in
Los Angeles Monday for the gala seventh annual Atony Awards. "Tonight is
hostile music's biggest night," said Krzysztof Penderecki, nominee in the
Most Dissonant Piece category. "I can't tell you what a thrill it is to be
here, surrounded by so many legends of arrhythmic cacophony." The
highlight of the evening is expected to be the awarding of the Olivier
Messiaen Lifetime Achievement Award to Karlheinz Stockhausen for "more
than five decades of aggressively impenetrable anti-music."'
Killing me here!
