Anti-Social Wedding Music was straight-up patronage, a commission from Anti-Social Music’s lawyer David Miller and his lovely bride an the occasion of, well…It has been pointed out that I may have ripped off the line from “Rite of Spring”, which of course a) I’ll damn well do so and b) while the irony may have been greater in times past there’s still a chuckle to be had in referencing a virgin sacrifice in wedding music.
