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".

@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.

@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.

@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.

Damn. Gonna go put on my favorite Dave album to celebrate

[cascheranno@hachyderm.io]

@DanMorgan it’s funny because nobody’s ever called jazz fans ‘nerd’.

[zerofactorial@noc.social]

@DanMorgan Paul Desmond, soloist and composer in Take Five, ensemble led by Brubeck

[lizette603_23@mastodon.social]

@DanMorgan HELL YES IT IS

[gorobar@rollenspiel.social]

@caelarue @labria @DanMorgan </know-it-all-mode on> 5/4 is always May 4. April 5 would be 5.4.
Punctuation matters!

[andi@snac.sonnenmulde.at]

Sorry to say, but in most of the world, 5/4 is the 5th of April. Dave Brubeck by all means earned his day. It was just about a month ago

You can keep Star Wars though scnr

@DanMorgan Now I find myself humming the saxophone part...
