At one I heard minute noises in our court.
Whether the band is evoking the Stooges -- the violent, eight-minute "Noise Epic" -- or revisiting its shoegazer era ("Sit and Wonder"), "Forth" is designed for large-scale playback.
Long before he was terrorizing boomers with 11-minute noise compositions (more on that later), Mr. Tweedy was helping to popularize one of the most conservative rock 'n' roll movements of the last few decades.
If I recall correctly, I withstood the band's now legendary 15-minute noise blitzkrieg during the climax of "You Made Me Realise" without any earplugs, and I'm sure it had a great deal to do with the tinnitus I've been grappling with since 1999".
And in "Walk Like a Giant" — which includes a cheerfully whistled hook, vocal-harmony choruses and a four-minute noise coda — Mr. Young mourns and rages over what happened to his generation's youthful ideals: "It fell apart and it breaks my heart/To think about how close we came".
Particularly notable is the marked dissociation between basal and stress-induced HPA activity, in that while basal corticosterone levels are highly suppressed, the response to the relatively brief stimulus of 10 minutes noise stress involves highly prolonged HPA activation (significant elevation for >80 min).
The most recent Distillers album, "Coral Fang" (Sire), ends with a dreary 12-minute noise-punk creation called "Death Sex," which should be self-parody but isn't.
We also smoothed the fixed-site continuous PM data to retain salient temporal patterns and remove minute-to-minute stochastic noise, which is likely to be highly local.
This came closer to capturing the mood on the streets, in stadiums and on social networks, where chatter was more of the nature of "At last!" and "The bastards had it coming!" On Twitter, the Brazilian commentator Xico Sá called for a minute of noise at Thursday's football matches to celebrate the arrests.
For a minute the noise of consternation reached a pitch and threatened to topple over into revolution — but most of the clientele, like me, were too drunk and too weary, and then the first mouthful was sampled, and it was extremely good; we quieted down.
