yeah that reaction is totally odd but still the podcast itself is narrative framing by default, especially for a guy who can’t speak English and therefore can’t get his point across directly to western audiences to begin with. doesn’t excuse akita chucking a hissy though, much less in this way. but I’ve got deeper problems with the podcast itself which maybe gives me a bias.

This Episode is over two hours long. I’m not even an hour in and it’s chalked full information......Jupitter-Larsen tells how Kim Cascone of Silent Records wanted The Haters to release their next album on his new label. Jupitter explains that Cascone changed the history of, Silent, but added that story would be told at another time.

Does anyone have any insight or knowledge about this?

I remember someone mentioning there was a rhyme and reason to: Poison Gas Research vs. PGR......but I can’t recall?

Regarding Masami‘s girlfriend......she possibly convinced him if meat = murder, then porn/bondage = degradation of women.

I was somewhat disappointed that the Richard Ramirez Episode failed to mention RR and Black Leather Jesus’s use of porn/bondage in many of their releases.

At my last BLJ show, Richard had homemade leather bondage devices at the merch table......and a good bit of hard core gay porn, too. Now Richard has his own dress line.

Please do share!

A potential problem avoided by no longer focusing on Merzbow releases......how long until the reviews started sounding the same?

This being said, I found it fascinating that the numbers that make up the track titles on -Collapse 12 Floors- are the barometric pressure readings during a hurricane that collapsed an historic building.

This weeks episode: John Duncan - Dark Market Broadcast.

I find Mike Connelly a bit of a sycophant, he brown noses the guests like crazy, and any record or thing that gets mentioned he'll butt in and say it's the best thing ever. And the episodes without guests are a littlevtedious.

I stumbled across these intense Merzbow variations created by James Whitehead aka jliat......well worth a listen.

Making Noise tracks using Roland Modular effects all pieces based on two Merzbow recordings, 1930 and Pulse Demon. (Variations). Recording various synths presets, (Voreinstellungen).

The latest Noisextra: Aube - Spindrift

Yesterday, September 25th was the six year anniversary of the death of, Akifumi Nakajima. For those who financially support Noisextra, there is a special podcast focusing on an Aube 7” series: Quadrotation

 

Lastly, I stumbled upon this......and it’s FREE

While chatting about music on a Discord server I'm on, we accidentally got my girlfriend to listen to Merzbow.

She said she liked the noises, but she was starting to get a headache, so she turned it off.

[Bytor Peltor]

Was she listening at loud or extreme volumes, or just regular volume?

I enjoy some Merzbow releases at lower volume, others I like to turn it up.

I never gave it much thought before, but just this week I was listening to the I Hate Music podcast: Daniel Menche where Daniel tells of going to Japan for a tour and staying with Masami Akita in his apartment. Menche explains how all the apartments are tiny and Masami Akita had a very average tape player with crappy speakers and this is how he listened to noise......and was very happy doing so. Menche noted Masami‘s tape player was in his kitchen and they would sit at the table and listen to Japanese noise tapes. Daniel contrasted that to how in America and other parts of the world so much emphasis is placed on expensive audio equipment, and what kind of speakers you have.

Do you recall which Merzbow your girlfriend was listening to?

Is that podcast anything to do with the I Hate Music message board?

Great question???

I just discovered the podcast and wasn’t aware of the message board, I’ll check it out later and see what I can discover.

After 30 minutes or so, I find the -I Hate Music- message board odd to navigate. However, this might have something to do with me not being a member? So far I’ve found no rhyme or reason connecting the podcast to the message board.

I’ve downloaded the first episode from November 2017 to see if the message board his mentioned, but it’s with some ska guy I’m not sure how much of that I can stomach???
