NEWS: No More Noise

MUSIC: No More Noise

I found this amazing website of mothers who protest music called Mothers Against Noise.

Their definition of noise:

They list Sonic Youth and Wolf Eyes at the top of their biggest offenders list, and feel that Radiohead is a "gateway" band":

Finally i conclude with the list of what is wrong with NOISE according to them:

All I can think of is.. what do they have to say about christian hardcore? I'm very confused...

Jesus, so are they.

Funny stuff.

Apparently they don't see a problem with run-on sentences, however.

I love people like this. The world would be far less interesting without these nutjobs.

Holy crap. Did they just call Radiohead a "gateway band"?

Just how old is this woman?

Talk about damning with faint disapproval...

I'm pretty sure this is a joke site.

As someone said on the messageboard, watchdog groups like this, usually are heavily moderated and do not allow open debate on their forums.

JUST IN CASE though;
Does anyone feel like bombarding them with information on noise bands? If it is real, I feel as though they're very ill informed.

My favorite thing though is her stance on noise promoting Rebellion. Considering she lives in the united states, which, if not for a large scale rebellion, would not exist.

*blasts My Bloody Valentine*

That's funny, and if they think Sonic Youth is "noise", they need a clue.

ROFL funny as feck

This has GOT to be a prank.

Dude, Radiohead totally leads right to heroin.

I wonder if this lot have thought that there parents felt the same way about the crap they grew up listening to and there grand parents thought the same about what there parents listened to. For fucks sake in the 1920's Jazz, swing and all that was considered devil worshiping and culture destroying. and i will guarantee that in 10 to 20 years time people will have the same thoughts that this lot have with the youth of the day and what they are listening too.

There's always been a cultural bias against dissonance in music. Hell, the premiere of the Rite of Spring was damn near a riot, as much for the "ugliness" of the music as the sexual themes on display in the accompanying dance.

Most def, and a pretty funny one at that.

Ooooh, do they have a forum? Must look... need to post cannibal corpse mp3s.

Noise is music that uses unpleasant or painful or extremely loud or discordant sound. Noise is also a very dangerous musical trend that is hell bent on destroying civilized culture, this anti-cultural movement is quickly sweeping the globe, and is very dangerous to our youth.


does this sound like Country/Western to anyone else?

they should try some Merzbow, Venetian Snares, Otto Von Schirach...

"Escapism"?? What the shit!

This might just be the greatest music related news ever posted on SG. I'm still laughing, and I had to forward the link to a friend who plays power drill, circle saw and keyboards in a local noise outfit.

When i saw the topic on the forum, I immediately thought this was about some boring regulations concerning loud concerts or whatnot, but I thought it'd be funny as hell if some parents were protesting against Melt Banana or Merzbow. And behold!

/me goes to put some Melt Banana on the turntable.

Maybe its a inside job by someone in Radiohead or Sonic Youth to Promote their NEW record....M.A.N.
