Urban Noise and Thoughts on John Cage

I read this article from Dusted Magazine this morning:

It reminded me of John Cage's desire to listen to the sounds of the city around him rather than the set sounds of records. I've often thought of following Cage's lead and selling or giving away my CD collection en masse. (I don't think I could do it piece by piece. It would be too heart-wrenching, and in the process, I'd probably realize the extent of my attachment to them and sit down and cry for a while.)
