Oh, Chick and Metheny can deffinitely play some free jazz. Metheny's live stuff is wild. Sure, he does all that new agey crap (well, it's reasonably good, but not incredibly special), but his live stuff (like the Trio Live album) and his relatively unrehearsed stuff (Question and Answer etc) is grand. Also, Chick does some crazy stuff. I mean, he was on Bitches Brew.
Also, I am a music major who had never heard of the Flaming Lips before reading this comic. I just don't really find indie music all that exciting. Maybe there's an indie band out there for me, but I haven't found it, and my roomate listens to a good deal of indie music. I mean, even the genres I like, I can't name all the composers/artists/bands. Even some of the bigger names, I couldn't identify any songs/pieces by them. Hell, just yesterday I bought my first Verese CD (though, I had already heard a bit of stuff written by him). I think a big problem with not knowing anybody is that I have a horrible, horrible memory. That's why I also do physics! No memorization needed!

They weren't really into anything, I mean they knew their classical and I'm sure they knew some jazz (we didn't really cover that) but I mean come on you're a music major! You SHOULD know something of 'popular' music, I'd think.

Well, they're not going to be playing popular music, though. Pretty much nothing they do is going to have anything to do with popular music. Hell, one of my good friends from high school is a composition and organ performance double major, and he knows pretty much nothing of any form of music aside from classical. Every time he has a question, he has to ask me. However, as far as just general music goes, he knows a hell of a lot more than I do. The guy is going to be famous, I'm almost sure of that. He's already had a piece performed at the Kennedy Center (in Washington, DC) and it was said to be the highlight of the performance by The Washington Post. He's a freaking junior in college!

Took the words right out of my mouth. Exept I suck at physics.
And pat, those people probably dont really care about popular music.
Some people would rather listen to Bach then Radiohead
or Brahms then The Arcde Fire.
Nothing wrong with that.

That's because it's really not all that exciting at all ever.
Also, are we talking about the same Varese? As in, Edgar Varese? As in, THIS GUY:
Because he's totally my favorite composer ever.
