They played their hand with invisible torture
Obama comes in, and grabs right hold of their hearts.

Well i've been waiting, waiting here so long
But thinking nothing, nothing can drip on me.. ohh now i know
They have a bult in ability
To learn everything i see.
And now it seems The torture, the torture is working for them.

He seems to have a waterboarding touch..yeah

Here's a really interesting interview with a guy who wrote about musical torture for Spin magazine. Link (new window)

Warning, it's NPR, so depending on where you live in the country, it may be NSFW.

Meanwhile legions of Merzbow and Masonna fans laugh and say "bring it on!"

Yep. this is change we can believe in.

Maybe we can keep Gitmo open just a little bit longer, and ship the members of Creed and/or Oasis there?

To torture me, just play that Beyonce "upgrade" TV commercial.

why don't they go after AOR radio first? really.


Flies all green 'n buzzin' in his dungeon of despair
Prisoners grumble and piss their clothes and scratch their matted hair
A tiny light from a window hole a hundred yards away
Is all they ever get to know about the regular life in the day;
An' it stinks so bad the stones been chokin'
'N weepin' greenish drops
In the room where the giant fire puffer works
'N the torture never stops
The torture never stops

Slime 'n rot, rats 'n snot 'n vomit on the floor
Fifty ugly soldiers, man, holdin' spears by the iron door
Knives 'n spikes 'n guns 'n the likes of every tool of pain
An' a sinister midget with a bucket an' a mop where the blood goes down the drain;

An' it stinks so bad the stones been chokin'
'N weepin' greenish drops
In the room where the giant fire puffer works
'N the torture never stops
The torture never stops
The torture
The torture
The torture never stops.

The picture of the amp head in TFA has a volume knob that goes to eleven.

Hilary Duff's a black guy?

Saw the first 15 seconds ... threw up in my mouth and moved on with the rest of my life knowing I had lost a little bit of my soul tonight. Thank you.

Has Merzbow offered an opinion on this? It wouldn't surprise me if he went either way. I'd just like to know if they've ever used his stuff, as it would seem the most natural choice for noise torture. I'm thinking track one on Orsted would do well.
