So my whole dorm floor last year got pretty sick of hearing our suitemates down the hall playing BSB and Britney Spears, et. al over and over and over again. It got to the point that somebody suggested that somebody else should take an axe to their stereo. One day when the music was both particularly loud and particularly irritating, my roommate looked over at me and said: I've got something that's tonic to dance music. He then pulled out a Merzbow CD.

Now, for those of you that have never heard of them, Merzbow produce albums of randomly generated white noise. White noise that is not always soothing to listen to. White noise sounds not unlike a fax machine going down the garbage disposal. White noise that can drown out Nsync from about fifty feet away if your stereo gets loud enough...

Needless to say, we never heard the girls play teen-pop ever again.
