@DanMorgan 5/4 is of course Mission Impossible day.

[veronica@mastodon.online]

@paavi @DanMorgan April is so last month you mean?

[eetschrijver@mastodon.social]

@greg_montreal
Or, arguably, by Roger Waters.

@veronica @DanMorgan Nope, 5/4 is literally fifth of April in Sweden in casual everyday use, the notation in this case is d/m.

[veronica@mastodon.online]

@paavi Exactly. Last month.

@DanMorgan Frank Zappa says you’re gonna wind up working in a gas station

@Eetschrijver @greg_montreal @DanMorgan if you’re thinking of Time, that’s 7/4

Edit: derp, Money

[paavi@mastodontti.fi]

@veronica akkurat

[eetschrijver@mastodon.social]

@bascule
Time is 4/4. I was thinking about Money, which is indeed 7/4 (except for the instrumental break). But it said "and other unusual time signatures".
@greg_montreal @DanMorgan

[bascule@mas.to]

@Eetschrijver @greg_montreal @DanMorgan err whoops yeah Money, which goes back into 4/4 because David Gilmour refused to play a guitar solo in 7/4

[eetschrijver@mastodon.social]

@bascule
Yep. Or at least, that's what Waters assumed.

@DanMorgan This is also *very* nerdy. Possibly more so.

[labria@social.yeschenko.com]

@DanMorgan @caelarue nerds: 5/4 is the fifth of April

[aradia@weirder.earth]

@DanMorgan Also the main section of Genesis' "Down and Out" is 5/4 so let's throw most of prog rock in there today too:

@DanMorgan Who is the bigger nerd? The music nerd or the star wars nerd?

[caelarue@mas.to]

@labria @DanMorgan Not in the US, because (just like our refusal to adopt the metric system) we are weirdly stubborn about the strangest things.

[lastdinosaur@lastdinosaur.club]

@DanMorgan@vmst.io

star wars is about the least nerdy, most pop-cultury thing there is for the past 2 decades.

@DanMorgan I heard the first four attempts to get this picture were scrapped, but they finally got it on...

Take Five.

@DanMorgan
Also, if we are naming famous tunes in 5/4, Mars from Gustav Holst's The Planets is a notable one.
