Bands want to know if their music was used on Gitmo detainees

[Justin Tonation]

I'm sending the government a Brokencyde record RIGHT now.

That may be grounds for throwing you in Gitmo.

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.

Make sure you play it LOUD!    

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

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.

The Masonna project has been the opening act for several well known artists on their Japanese concert dates, including Sonic Youth, Beck and Slipknot. Masonna also caught the attention of John Peel and was featured on his program, having even done a limited Masonna 'John Peel Sessions' CD.

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!

Ever hear the Merzbow/Bastard Noise split?

A) There is no fucking way!!!

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

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.
