I wish, but no. My interests are pretty evident from my profile, I guess.

Pneumatic Detach coined the phrase "CHICKS DIG POWERNOISE".

Is it supposed to sound like farting robots? What would you get if you circuit-bent an actual simulacrum's simulated flatulence? (WMV Video, NSFW for reasons I hope are obvious)

I got this collection and I really like it. A lot of the music is a lot calmer than the idea "noise music" often implies.

Highly recommended.

There are a good number of women performing and creating noise and related types of music. They don't tend to get as much attention though.

Melt away, noise just ain't what it usta be, regardless of gender.

Shouldn't sound-artists know how to spell "cacophanous"?

Ok, this is so off-topic, but it just annoys me that you're going to all the trouble of being pedantic and can't be bothered to spell "cacophonous" right, yerself. "Caco" + "phony", simple. What the hell's a "phany"? Why can't Johnny spell???
