I suspect Warp might enjoy this too, based on other stuff he's said.

Yes, it's one 55-minute long MP3. :-)

This reminded me the time I showed a friend some classical mp3's and he goes
"WTF?!  what kind of mp3 takes 40 MBs?!"

and no, this one didn't quite live up to the promise...

One that's encoded at 320 Kbit/sec? ;-)

Or one longer than the 3 minutes-radio-format-cut, in a descent encoding
(200 kbit/sec)

Try just getting a full play of Innuendo (Queen) (6:30)... and good luck!

The first part of the two Passion by J.S. Bach are at least 7 minutes
long each (Mathieu/Mathew being a bit shorter than Jean/Johanes).

And if you are for electronic music (from '70s): the part 1 of
Chronologie (J.M. Jarre) is also 7+...

No one is going to LISTEN to that long nowadays.

I just computed that at 320 Kbit/sec, 40MB = 16 minutes. (Depending on 
whether you mean 2^20 bits or 10^6 bits.)

Or Boheneim Rhaphody? That's the famous one, of course.

Never mind that. Tangerine Dream have out put numerous albums that 
consist of two tracks, simply labelled "part 1" and "part 2", both at 30 
minutes or more each.

I'm used to being no one.

  Depends on the genre. Some techno CDs (ambient, trance, goa...) are mixed
so that each song transitions smoothly to the next (beatmatching), and thus
the entire CD becomes effectively one single piece of music. That's up to 70
minutes in the best cases.

Or Waiting For Cousteau, which has one track something like 47 minutes long. 
I swear he did it just to make sure it was impossible to press to vinal.

My cousin is in a punk band, 
http://www.myspace.com/ridgefieldsmirk
but they're not that popular, and it's sort
of part time, retiring, etc... I'm not sure
why fame and success seem to follow the
least deserving people. Maybe you'll get
a bit of luck soon with a new job Andrew,
you gotta have a little sooner or later.

Often it is more that the general public is ignorant of the amount of effort 
most successful people have put into their lives (I'm not just talking about 
musical performers here, but also sports stars, business tycoons, etc). 
Sure some people are just hugely lucky and get lots of money for doing 
almost nothing, but I would bet that most rich and successful people have 
worked damn hard to get there.

Actually in practice I think it's a combination. Successful people tend to have
worked very hard *and* been lucky to get opportunities along the way. You have
to put the hard work in to make the most of what chance throws at you, but you
also need the chance to use your experience and skills!
