Thank you to the dozens of helpful and clever people who helpfully and cleverly informed me that the joke does not work because today is actually 4/5. I did not know this, and appreciate you letting me know.

@ryan Suddenly I'm trying to imagine an epic SF or fantasy movie with a soundtrack composed by Dave Brubeck.
bitsavers.orgHawkwind's "Spiral Galaxy 28948" on "Warrior on the Edge of Time"
@bitsavers @ryan I think I have that album. I haven't gone through my vinyl in a couple of years.
I was mistaken, it's actually in 7/8
@bitsavers @ryan I will be listening to Hawkwind today anyway.
Stoneface Vimes@ryan yeah. 5/4 isn't until tomorrow though. Not over here it isn't.
beka valentine@ryan @dangillmor Take the Fifth be with you!
GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺@ryan 5/4 is four weeks ago. 😂

America - West Side Story - Leonard Bernstein
martin_fff@ryan only in USian date schemes
Kevin Archie@ryan but Blue Rondo is 9/8. maybe we need two Brubeck days
Rob Zazueta@ryan I live in his home town, where there's even a park named after him.
Not sure they know to celebrate today. They should take five from whatever they're doing and maybe pay attention.
Jake in the desert@ryan I love this, but as I dig both, apparently I'm a nerd all around 😂
Twotired@ryan (speaking as both an SF nerd and a music nerd:) Pot, meet kettle.

May the fourth notes be with you.

Bytebro 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇬🇱I've always loved my music, and I remember in my teens being literally stopped in my tracks the first time I hear that. 5:4 beat blew me away.
alpha-o 💚🇪🇺🇺🇦@ryan take 5 👍
icasticoBut Take Five is a Paul Desmond composition
PalmAndNeedle@ryan Since when is Brubeck *not* nerdy?
sergio_250501@ryan you didn't steal this nerdy day outside the US, but you gained my sympathy.
I'll save the 5th of April in my calendar though :)

@ryan A true fan knows that Dave Brubeck Day is actually 9/8
Dave Brubeck Quartet - "Blue Rondo à la Turk," live
Circa 1959. Excellent live performance for broadcast. Time signature is 9/8 with a 4/4 swing. Paul Desmond is smooth (as always) on alto. Dave Brubeck plays ...
Briala@ryan Should be Paul Desmond as he wrote most of the music.
Ericka Simone@ryan okay this is amazing and how did we not do this before.
Kyle Memoir 🍉🐧And, lest we forget, drummer Joe Morello
plinth@ryan trivia: Take 5 and the original theme from Mission Impossible are both in 5/4 and follow very similar chord progressions so that you can play one over the other or alternate phrases (aka, Take Impossible or Mission 5)

@ryan Or was it Paul Desmond? ;-) At least if we're speaking about Take Five!

What a wonderful Idea!

ArchaeoIain@ryan Glad there is something special about the fifth of April.
@ryan Of course we may never know whether that is the fifth of April, as it should be or the 4th of May which it could be. I mean, the US is the only country in the world which celebrates its national day of the 4th of July on July 4th.
