12 SONGS: TINNITUS MIX
“Chaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.” — Henry Adams
“Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.” — Jacques Attali
“Patients’ descriptions of the pain are remarkably similar: A sound is usually perceived as the sharp jab of a knife or skewer. Writing about his own experience of Tinnitus, Professor Charles Liberman from Harvard Medical School said: ‘the pain lingers long after the sound is gone, much as the pain from a flesh wound would.’” — Joyce Cohen, The New York Times

Seeing as this is our most abrasive playlist yet, we are fully prepared for it fall on deaf ears. That being said, we claim zero responsibility in the event it actually causes a few.
Including music from:
Blasted Canyons. An essential Bay area noise trio with members adjacent to the now defunct Castleface Records label (RIP). Known in their time to burst an eardrum or two.
Destruction Unit. A post-Reatards project from a few members of Jay’s posse. More noise, more chaos, more black holes. A deep trip…
The Red Crayola. TDIL that short story writer Frederick Barthelme - author of Moon Deluxe, disciple of Raymond Carver - is the brains behind this band.
Buck Biloxi. If my faith in modern rock and roll had at some point begun to falter in the last few years, seeing these guys live this weekend reaffirmed it. —Jackson Todd
