OK, to go back to a very fat and tempting thread (started by Che):
<<warning: the following post is not for the faint of heart>>
I remember a (somewhat eccentric) friend I had in high school...he decided to
make a mixtape involving nothing but "The Reflex" by Duran Duran and "We're
Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister repeated over and over again, each in
turn, ad nauseum.
Specifically, I remember him having a boombox at the beach, playing this
tape. And somehow, his friends seemed to enjoy it. While these songs may be
loathsome by IDM standards, I s'pose we can at least give the fellow credit
for being perversely post-modern in a way so painful as to inspire
teeth-gnashing admiration from Alec Empire.
