Title: Bands want to know if their music was used on Gitmo detainees
Post by: Jaguar on October 22, 2009, 02:34:49 pm
Bands want to know if their music was used on Gitmo detainees (http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/10/22/musicians.guantanamo/index.html)

There is also a link for a pdf file with a list of bands and songs:

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/10/22/music.list.pdf

If anyone can get it, would you please post the list in here? For some reason, my browser keeps crashing when I try to bring it up. Suspect it's some pop-up blocker issue or something similiar but I don't feel like fooling around with my system and turning things off to see if that does the trick.


Also, as a small NON-PROFIT radio webcaster, I can't help but wonder (rhetorical question here) if any fucking royalties have to be paid! (Will stop here because that's a whole other rant.)

Thank you.

They have no idea what they are missing by not including Masonna. It's like the A-bomb and the H-bomb combined in the world of sonic warfare!  :o  I guess they are afraid their own will go insane after a good fulll 5 minutes. The holocast section of a MBV concert it is NOT!

I'm surprised this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6RuURE9Y44) wasn't on the list.

Meow Mix Jingle and The Star Spangled Banner.

That is just too damn funny.

This should be on the list.  I may not have the best music taste, but there are no words to describe this.  Adn the wiki page is absurd.  They list one of the "band members" as "Lights/ Fog Machines"

Thought that I'd help you all get your work week started off with a little trick or treat present.

Since most of you probably aren't aware of (count your lucky stars!) Masonna, here's a download for you (http://www.mediafire.com/file/emgkzi2w5hm/Masonna-Frequency LSD-Track 1.mp3).

Make sure you play it LOUD!   :o  ;D

I challenge you to listen to the entire song! Go ahead, it's only 1:49 long.

That may be grounds for throwing you in Gitmo.

i met your challenge... i want my 1:49 back.  that was pure musical retardation.  sorry, i take back the word "musical".  while the "noise" genre isn't my favorite, i can see the appeal in acts such as merzbow.  this had none of it.  i really don't understand why anyone would make this stuff, and even less so why anyone would choose to listen to it (unless high on a really strong dissociative... maybe).

to be fair, this is only one track so maybe other parts of their output might appeal to me more.  and i definitely see how this stuff could be useful for psy-ops operations.

Must have plied them with good drugs. And I mean really, really good drugs! Even that wouldn't do it for me.

Sweets, the entire disc sounds like that. I couldn't get through it though I did give each track at least a few seconds hoping to find some redeeming value. Not a chance!

B) But, no, I haven't. (Suspect that I will soon regret this.)  :D

I'll spare you that one since it's on an external HD and I don't feel like digging it up but this might be even more brutal.
