Setting a record on fire.

Burning Herb Alpert's "America" on LP.

This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the way unrestrained corporate greed and power is "burning" America. Or a protest against Alpert's 4/4 perversion of Leonard Bernstein's brilliant use of 6/4 hemiolic rhythm. But in fact, I'm just posting this because its fun to see what happens when you set a record on fire.

A beautiful Chopin record vs baking soda, vinegar, and fire. (This one makes me a little sad....I want that record!)
