Unusual Music Week: A Song That Takes 639 Years To Play Just Had A Chord Change

Cool Weird Awesome with Brady Carlson

This week we're replaying some of our favorite episodes about music that sounds a little different. In this episode from September 2020, we look at an organ in Germany that is, for more than 600 years, trying to play a John Cage score the way he wanted it to be played: "As Slow As Possible." Plus: a YouTuber trains his cat to put out fires, sort of.
