I'd say not. I use duck testicle grease for my gilded slide, though. When playing those z flat scale rubs, It lubricates fantastically.

I was composing in penguinian mode if you must know, but I tried tetuning the slide. Perhaps the coals aren't getting hot enough?

You probably aren't re-detuning your slide whistle for drop minor chromatic key of Q.

^I wrote a song in 0/1 time. It was kind of short though, and my friends didn't like it.

I've tried 1/0 time, but I just can't get a good groove on it.

What about 0/1, or 1/0? I always did want to try a hand at 4>3/7a + X^2/666

Yeah, my music sux.  I'm just going to have to listen to crap or give up music all together.  Yet those time signatures are really intriguing...
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

No, no, you gotta start out simple.  Start with the primes.  http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=909

I think your drum machine would explode. I once put the metronome on Adobe Audition in -1.5/8 sig and my computer crashed.

Propellerhead's Reason contains rhythm machine(s) precise to a degree of 1/100 BPM.
Programming two of them, one in 180 BPM, another one in 141,372 BPM would be awesome!!

12/4 + 13/4 is a good enough approximation for most circular ears.
What?

Then you're on a Prog Site because???
LOL At what I HOPE is a beautifully sarcastic post.
To be fair you actually make decent points.

^ That being one. I DO think some bands over do it, for the sake of being complex. Though a song inπ/4 would be sweet!  
Many prog bands you DO have to force yourself to listen to... it can be, (as well as its fans) very pretentious, and im sure there are some bands out there with no musical talent that go for avant-grade/experimental.

I love prog!

Jokes aside, is it almost unanimous that everyone scoffs and makes fun of Walter's musical ideas, because they think it is a complete crock?
 
Walter ? Is that Walter Becker ? Great musician !
