Shred Room 13: Now with 99% more misfortune!

I just listened to all of Metal Machine Music in one sitting, does that make me special? Probably not, since I was also on the computer on the same time. I don't think I could make it if I didn't have anything else to do.

Pretty good, surprisingly melodic sounding, but very ambient. It's Lou's drug-addled catharsis, but it's almost a demented Zen thing. My favorite part was infinite groove, which for the CD was just repeated for two minutes and then suddenly stops halfway through the phrase. Atom Heart Mother also had an infinite groove, but this one is more fun.

I have to admit, it did get tedious at times, and it probably would have been ubearable to listen to the whole thing at once by itself, but I feel that way about a lot of music so that's not too surprising. ;-) This is even better though.

I've done that. We could make a club.

Lou Reed's noise album. Often believed to have been released as a joke.

I quite like it.

Hey ACR! What's up?
Just the two of us here?
Hmmm... I might go do some cleaning around the house.

Yes. But noise is a helluvalot more interesting than it's often given credit for.
