"The Devil Glitch", my 69-minute song that contains over 500 verses, has just been acknowledged by the Guinness Book of World Records to be the "World's Longest Pop Song". http://www.nutscape.com/ChrisButler/guinness.htm This is in the 1998 Guinness Book. Sep 11 09, 7:25 PM

Longplayer is a one thousand year long musical composition. It began playing at midnight on the 31st of December 1999, and will continue to play without repetition until the last moment of 2999, at which point it will complete its cycle and begin again. Conceived and composed by Jem Finer, it was originally produced as an Artangel commission, and is now in the care of the Longplayer Trust. Longplayer can be heard in the lighthouse at Trinity Buoy Wharf, London, where it has been playing since it began. It can also be heard at several other listening posts around the world, and globally via a live stream on the Internet. Longplayer is composed for singing bowls – an ancient type of standing bell – which can be played by both humans and machines, and whose resonances can be very accurately reproduced in recorded form. It is designed to be adaptable to unforeseeable changes in its technological and social environments, and to endure in the long-term as a self-sustaining institution. As of a few moments ago and UPDATED REGULARLY: "Longplayer has been playing for 9 years, 255 days, 01 hours, 14 minutes and 04 seconds." http://longplayer.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jem_Finer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longplayer Longplayer from 5/13/09: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbiHsCYEIjA More Information: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKiPLPhyrxY Sep 12 09, 7:14 AM
