I like this Merzbow interview
 

Yeah, excellent interview.

I love blasting Venearology as I drove down the road in 100 degree weather.

i just think its funny that he's more of a hippy than actual hippies, like he's total more hippie than jerry garcia; that gluttonous motherfucker smoked ciggies and ate raw meat in wholly uhealthy proportions.

haha

I just downloaded the first 7 volumes of the 13 birds collection. Can't wait to hear 'em. I love merzbow. I have around 100 albums by him. I definitely want to try to get them all someday.

HOLY SHIT!

Merzbow's "13 japanese birds part 1: suzume" might be the best thing he's done in FOREVER. Return to analogue sound with INSANE drumming... holy fuck this is great!

thanks for the link

such and influence on my own work as suncrusher. love reading interviews with him.

I have been listening to Merzbow for nearly 10 years of my life, and I've always enjoyed his work but it's really been in the past year or two that I've really LOVED what he's doing. His "music" is extremely pleasurable to my ears. Very addictive. Some of the most interesting "music" ever made. Sometimes I'll listen full blast and feel like I'm on drugs afterwards. Brilliant stuff.

wow "thanks" releasethebeats
nice birthday party namee
whered you get that from
underground ragazines like wired

...

And with that, I'd like to announce that I'm going to upload the 13 Japanese Birds collection on this thread, as they become available! These are awesome, important albums, and they need to be heard.

Since each cd is limited to 1,000 copies and there are a shit-ton of subscribers and they all sold out within like an hour, I think it's quite alright to post these on here. I've zipped up volumes 1, 2, 3... and 4, 5, 6.... all together, but they're huge .rar's so it's going to take me a while to upload them. Here's volume 7, though:

here's japanese birds parts 1, 2, and 3: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E8BGCKBM

cheers for this, these albums are easily available from distros etc though

Oh. Damn.. Well they'll definitely be oop forever soon, and I figure the 3 people on here interested in merz probably would already be subscribers to the bamboo box or something.

I'll upload 4, 5, and 6 later either way. If I get some complaints I'll remove the links.

If you think about it everything will be OOP one day, so we might as well just file share to our heart's content now to save the hassle in the future

Haha. Yeah, maybe...

All I know is, the "subscription series" for these cd's is sold out, and really if people wanted these they could get on slsk or blogs and d/l them in about 2 seconds. I'm merely uploading themself to.. well.. I dunno, save others the hassle.

But, yeah, just about everything in the "noise scene" does go OOP quickly.

must show your noise-cock before repping noise park again...thanks for the ups! i love merzbow...frog disc 2 is a nice way to wake up right now

here are volumes 4, 5, and 6.

I'll try to post 8-13 when they become available...........

woot!
bookmarked for later read!

Thanks for the MERZ.

Nice one.

wuvz aiz?

Thanks, atsonic. I had no.2, thought of getting more. Gave the first one a spin and am definitely getting it. Thing with downloading Merzbow is that you'll need it on CD at least to hear it properly; the rapidshare link is a taste and will inevitably result in people checking out the real thing.
The corollary is also true--this type of music is sufficiently hard to hear that many without access to downloads may shy away completely in fear of a quite expensive mistake. Better to say "Hey Alex, what the fuck is that noise" after sampling a Rapidshare than to throw down twenty of your Earth euros to find out it's not for you. Same reason I don't hate the Radio for playing shite music--now I know and it didn't cost me anything.
So ta, mate. Ta very much.

Can't wait for 8-13.
