A boob with an inferiority complex.

You haven't heard unlistenable noise until you've heard...



It sounds like a Space Invaders game being raped by a blender.


I have heard this is the worst record ever.


it's not my first choice of listening material - or even my 100th choice - but i swear to you, i'd far rather listen to this album in its entirety - repeatedly, even - than to have to listen to an ashlee simpson album even just once.

At least 50% of all music I listen to can be categorized as "noise"... so don't know about that unlisteneable part, but noise yes. I actually just a few days ago bought a power electronics remake of the "three little pigs & the big bad wolf" -story by Nod. Recommended.


i hear ya. two of my favorite bands are the residents and sonic youth, so noise is a friend of mine, too. still and all, there's such a thing as artfully done noise and just plain BAD noise.


Yes, there's noise and then there's noise. One song that comes to mind is Sonic Youth's "Mildred Pierce" which starts out pretty rockin' and then devolves into total chaos. I don't mind music like that. I'm talking about songs that seem to have no point at all (or at least I couldn't figure out the point).

That wouldn't be wit, it would be existensionalist and usually it's not technically possible. I mean posting blank messages - not existentionalism.

Anyway. The only way I can describe the Lou Reed album is thus...

It's 1985 and you own a Commodore 64 with a cassette loading device. Your friend wants a copy of Frogger. You put the cassette into your double-deck stereo so you can tape-to-tape. You forget that the last time you used the stereo, you had the volume all the way up to 11 because you were dancing around the living room listening to 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun' whilst vacuuming the carpet. The noise starts and your bowels empty in terror...

Mommy! Mommy! Make it stop!

This one is pure pop compared to most extreme noise releases. I'd say it's rather good pop music as well.

I actually listen to those tapes from time to time. Excellent stuff. Especially if listened through an additional distortion box device.

I like What do U Want Me To Do

Revolution 9 is the one that has me sprinting to the stereo the moment I hear "number 9 number 9 number 9..." its absolutely unlistenable and totally stops a brilliant album dead in its tracks.

Wow... that just brought back some memories!! Tho I had the disk drive and my friend had the cassette loader -- but I remember those noises! I'd think that if you were listening to a Frogger transfer at volume-level #11 then you'd still be having nightmares about crossing the street. Actually, I still got my Commodore 64 because I wrote about 300 songs with it (using my MIDI DX-7 synth) before I turned 17. I got the DX too. Every once in awhile I set it all up again and go back in time.

What? You still have the MIDI interface for C64? Those are worth quite a lot of money these days, if just for the possiblity to use the SID-chip through MIDI alone (Actually that's the only use anybody wants them for, if we're exact about it).
