This is real rock. Played on a turntable. Loud.
I'd love to see the ribbon of carved out vinyl that would result if he put the same needle on an LP.

"Oddly satisfying" eh?
Visually, sure. Aurally, nooooooo.

Some people voluntarily listen to all four sides of Machine Metal Music repeatedly.
Give it a few decades, it will catch on.

Somebody needs to properly set their anti-skate adjustment.

Sounds almost as good as that time Aphex Twin played sandpaper.

Geology and gemology folks: once upon a time, some record needles had sapphire tips (for hardness). If you had to guess at a pleasing sound resulting from the materials, you would choose sapphire - on - what?

I was gawping at this in disbelief for a bit, one eyebrow cocked, but the newsflare chime at the end had me in stitches.

Previously.
Maria Chavez works in much the same vein.
Mechanical techno.
Records made out of wood...and wood glue.
Pizza on a turntable. Meat pie. Tortilla.
(Aphex Twin used to be infamous for playing sandpaper records in DJ sets. Might've been a one-time incident that became part of his mythos.)

It's got a good beat, and you can dance to it.

Sounds more like post-rock to me.

A housemate of mine had a rock-tumbler for polishing pebbles-- she was always worried that the noise would bother me, but I loved the low rumbly noise it made and eventually I actually moved it into my room, by my bed, so it could lull me to sleep. The low regular purr of the motor, plus the random burble of the rocks/polish mixture, was perfect, like having a happy cat looking out at a beach with slow waves on shingle.
