SHREDDERS' RITE OF PASSAGE


The mp3 blog Doklands refers to "C5" by Moha as "a cacphonous, distoterrific guitar and drum assault". I refer to it as "Guitar Center". Even if you aren't a musician, you may have wandered into a Guitar Center (or a similar music superstore) at some point. If you have, you know the scenario. Rabid guitar and drum fetishists let loose, to freely take their coveted ax or Bonham-sized drum kit for a test run. To the clerks, this must push the Annoy-O-Meter into the red. And the poor guys have to endure it, all day, every day. Just try listening to this song, try listening to it loud, try listening to it from three different rooms at once. Now imagine that, day in and day out. So where's the magnetic ribbons for these guys? Where are the colored rubber bracelets for these men of unrelenting patience, who put their eardrums on the line every day?

Doklands also has Beefheart's Kandy Korn!
