Commission an Australian composer: http://bit.ly/XyNtCK

From the composer, Gordon Hamilton:

The post-modern Internet Hipster, rather than merely saying the words of a common expression, clarifies his or her exact meaning by spelling them out, one initial letter at a time. It would be completely passé to say 'Oh my God/gosh,' instead of 'OMG'. As it would be to actually laugh, rather than saying 'LOL.'

'Initialise' is a torrent of Three-Letter Initialisms (conveniently abbreviated as 'T.L.I.s'), grouped into three different categories:

1. those that sound good together ('S&M, ATM, MnM');
2. those that tell a story (CPR DOA RIP); and
3. those which contradict each other ('KKK AOK' - and please, click 'discard' on your emails of complaint - we know that the KKK definitely is not AOK!)

In some cases maybe no one can tell whether or not they agree or contradict ('GFC KFC' and 'KGB GOP').

The music is just like the words: repetitive, obsessive and abbreviated. In the bits that sound like they are sung over and over to different words, really that's it - a single bar is repeated three or five or six times with three or five or six different lots of lyrics ('lyrics' might be an overstatement). If we can't be bothered writing/saying the whole expression, why bother writing out the damned notes?
