Anyway, this #videonontrovat is awesome: it's the only way to see the old Deb logo back on the home page.

Built Too Long The noise-oriented Built to Spill of their debut are those where they still hadn't found that precise direction that would lead them to the complex and perfect sonic and compositional architecture that would allow them to produce at least three masterpieces. In any case, this piece seems to represent well what they were in their early days and what they were already aiming for, at least in terms of a sense of adventure #popnoiserockart

Butthole Surfers - Revolution (Part 1 + 2) Follies? Obviously yes, but also ironic, funny, silly, irreverent and, particularly in albums like Piouhgd and Electriclarryland, (also) exquisitely pop. It’s probably the (fantastic) name they chose that has prevented the general public from embracing the two aforementioned albums #popnoiserockart

The Jesus And Mary Chain - You Trip Me Up (Official Music Video) Somewhere I read that while My Bloody Valentine built their songs starting from layers upon layers of feedback, the Jesus and Mary Chain on their debut had exactly the opposite approach: they began by setting up pop melodies only to devastate them with feedback. In any case, they had an insight that undoubtedly proved to be very influential #popnoiserockart

Blur - Bugman - 13 The use of noise with a very precise artistic direction has always been one of the many characteristics of Blur, since their debut in '91: by '99 they had become a sort of supersonic beast, even going beyond, sonically, the certainly untamed self-titled album that preceded it. In this piece, Coxon, amidst the overall organized chaos, manages to make the guitar sound like a drill, or something like that: "this is freedom," my friend told me when I played him this piece, and he was certainly already used to rather noisy music. Enough to make Sonic Youth pale #popnoiserockart

Ride - Dreams Burn Down How to be overwhelmed by a slow-motion waterfall, this has always been the feeling when listening to what I consider one of the best tracks from the masterpiece by Ride, with which they perfectly integrate into the shoegaze scene, presenting, in a way different from My Bloody Valentine, the concept, as simple as it is effective, of sweet melodies accompanied by cascades of distortion #popnoiserockart

the velvet underground - sister ray The first to use noise as a fundamental part of music, back in 1967 (!): noise emerges in their first album and in the second they take it even "further," with the peak obviously represented by this sound orgy of almost 18 minutes #popnoiserockart

Pixies "Something Against You" Pixies - Broken Face The Pixies, especially from their first two albums (Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa), are the most schizophrenic output the rock genre has ever produced: it’s organized chaos that often resolves into pieces of less than 2 minutes where you get overwhelmed. It’s a distorted, sarcastic representation of rock, where noise is obviously a fundamental and indispensable element—not gratuitous, but always accompanied by that pop sensibility that allows their tracks, even frantic bits like those posted, to remain catchy regardless. #popnoiserockart

My Bloody Valentine - To Here Knows When (Live) My Bloody Valentine - To Here Knows When The aesthetics of noise: My Bloody Valentine, in my opinion, have elevated the use of noise in music to its highest level, blending sweet melodies and dreamlike atmospheres with a terrifying, intricate wall of wavering sound. The result is a kind of "dreamed" music, paradoxically extremely relaxing; the effect is trance, hypnosis, total trip, ecstasy: like wandering freely, swimming in the void. Not knowing which version to include of this piece (which is one of my favorites of theirs), I'm posting both. #popnoiserockart

Hüsker Dü - The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill If Zen Arcade is still connected to hardcore punk, Warehouse: Songs & Stories will represent their pop side at its best, while New Day Rising is their "middle" album that opens new frontiers for the use of "noise" in music, even foreshadowing (as I have had the opportunity to write elsewhere) shoegaze. This is the most exciting track on the album, in my opinion: melody and noise fused together perfectly #popnoiserockart

Dinosaur Jr. - They Always Come I have always loved the sound of Dinosaur Jr, while I have found their level of composition somewhat limited and repetitive, even though they have still written quite a few great songs. But I reiterate, I have always loved their sound, and it has undoubtedly been influential for the entire Alternative scene. This track is one of my favorites of theirs, perfectly split into two parts, with the second being my absolute favorite moment from Dinosaur Jr, as always drowned in noise, yet melancholic and so sweet #popnoiserockart

Sonic Youth - The Diamond Sea Today begins a small review regarding what I consider a truly artistic use of "noise." I will choose some of my favorite pieces, starting with what I consider one of the peaks of Sonic Youth: a long, visionary journey into the depths of #pop(noise)rockart.

Last Pink Floyd Reunion - Live 8 2005 - Full HD. I conclude with these memorable, historical 24 minutes, arriving exactly at the moment when no one was expecting it anymore. Four pieces chosen not at random from their 3 most representative albums, with the opening of Dark Side of The Moon and the closing with that stratospheric solo of Comfortably Numb (one of those solos that could last forever and no one would mind). And then the umpteenth, moving tribute to Syd, reminding you how true it is what I read somewhere years ago, namely that he has always remained, somehow, the fifth member of the band. And the final embrace of the four, unexpectedly prompted by Waters. #piperatthegatesofthemoon

01. In The Flesh? (The Wall-Pink Floyd) I have always found the choice to open the concept with its concluding part perfect, before launching into a lengthy flashback that shows what brought the protagonist to that state. I am also surprised that there still isn't a video version of the live/metatheatrical shows of The Wall (and the CD version is out of print too, go figure) #piperatthegatesofthemoon

Pink Floyd - Is There Anybody Out There? It's particularly difficult to select excerpts from an album like this, because, literally, it's a whole piece like (and perhaps even more than) Dark Side of The Moon: here, moreover, there is a real plot and storyline to follow with a message, as always, universal about the human being and their journey. #piperatthegatesofthemoon

Pink Floyd - Pigs (Three different Ones) An album for a long time underrated, like many other masterpieces from other bands that, positioned between two monuments (in this case Wish You Were Here and The Wall), risk being overshadowed. However, it has been rightly re-evaluated and placed on the same level as the two previous ones and the subsequent one, completing that string of albums (from Meddle to The Wall) that will remain their most representative #piperatthegatesofthemoon

Welcome To The Machine REMASTERED - Pink Floyd with lyrics WIDESCREEN HD Have A Cigar REMASTERED - Pink Floyd with lyrics WIDESCREEN HD "Punk Floyd," they were renamed with the subsequent "Animals"; in my opinion, not so much for "the harshness of the sounds" of that album, but as a crowning of a journey that had seen/was seeing/will see them fiercely hurling themselves against society, the system, the machine (indeed) devouring/human beings and humanity. Long before Punk. And then Waters spat on the audience, but he built the Wall around it. #piperatthegatesofthemoon

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Full Length: Parts I - IX) - Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of Pink Floyd, even though my favorite of theirs is The Wall. Musically and emotionally even higher than its predecessor, with the most beautiful opening ever in rock history (you can never say enough about what they managed to create in the first 7/8 minutes, in terms of atmosphere), with a concept that, starting from Barrett's personal drama, sends out, as always, a universal message on a human, social, and universal level. Even if they had only released this album, they would have secured a place in the history of rock, I would say, even though this absolute masterpiece (along with the previous one) is the result of years of musical experimentation #piperatthegatesofthemoon
