The Legendary Pink Dots

We, the Legendary Pink Dots feel it is our duty to inform an unwary
public that the new number of the Beast is 834. In fact we, the
Legendary Pink Dots were instrumental in this turn of events. Let us
explain.
The change occurred on a rainy morning in August when the Legendary Pink
Dots, Lisa and friends of the Prozhtet Militat were holding a party to
celebrate the completion of AsYlum - a cage into which they could retreat
from worldly matters.
Naturally, the party finished with the traditional burning of Oogchuu,
the fire baby. (We must point out that the burning of Oogchuu is not an
act of cruelty. Oogchuu's purpose in the order of things is to be
burned, and he never protests when Poison Barbarella strikes the first
match.)
However, things did not go as planned. Oogchuu sneezed at an
inappropriate moment. the resulting ball of fire incinerated the
curtains. The Legendary Pink Dots, Lisa, and the friends of the Prozhtet
Militat found themselves in the midst of an inferno!
Happily the quick-thinking Silver Man had the foresight to dial 999
before the telephone melted. But it was not the fire brigade who
appeared at our flaming portal seconds later. It was the Beast.
standing on his head! Angry! Cursing!
We tried to reason with Him, but it was useless. The terrible one was
hell-bent on revenge.
With one sweep of his left hand, the Beast turned the world upside down.
Only we, the Legendary Pink Dots, Lisa and the friends of the Prozhtet
Militat stayed rooted to the spot as our fellow mortals flew off the
earth as if it was an upturned jug.
Then Stret Majest Alarme had a brilliant idea.
"Hey Terrible One", he volunteered, "Why don't you choose a number more
in keeping with your dark and terrible methods? After all, 666 reminds
me of three little ducks swimming across a pond."
The Beast was scowling. "Ducks?!" He scowled, but Stret bravely
continued. "How about 888? Twist that on it's side and you have
infinity - multiplied by three! Yowza!"
A perverse smile spread across the Terrible One's face. He liked the idea.
"I like the idea," he cackled, "but it does not let you off the hook.
how can I devise a fitting eternal punishment for you who caused me all
this inconvenience?"
It was Patrick Paganini Q. who reluctantly provided the answer. "We
shall make our music for you alone, Terrible One. We shall create. an
Infinity Waltz!"
And so it goes. The number is 8, the time is 3/4. Endlessly. 8-3-4,
8-3-4, 8-3-4. Endlessly.
Will you spare a tear for us as we bid you farewell?
