please understand
lol i don't dislike sunn i was just being a trolly dick. but that said, merz vs other noise dudes like melt banana or even whitehouse, I suppose, is the weird je ne sais quoi of beauty and mild erotica that sometimes pokes through the muck. 1930 and venereology especially. Not to say he's godlike, 90% of his stuff can be skipped (which leaves probably... 100 records?) without missing anything. I kinda miss the days of smoking a little weed/eating shrooms and putting on headphones and completely fuzzing out of existence for an hour or so.
live? hah, I don't think I would get much out of merzbow live. I loved Acid Mother Temple, though, but that isn't quite the same deal.
