It's a Queer World After All

Hasn't pop culture always been a little queer? From professional sports to last week's episode of Nip/Tuck, we've all enjoyed a little queer. So lets break it down and see where it lands us. BE SURE TO CHECK THE ARCHIVE ON THE RIGHT FOR OLDER POSTS BY MONTH.

Music-Merzbow

Merzbow's music is a trip. Some might argue that its not music, because it lacks any structure and has no melody, rhythm or instrumentation. 

For Merzbow, scratches on a microphone is music. It has been described as something similar to shoegazer rock. The difference is that Merzbow takes it to extreme measures. 

His more famous works have involved his personal interest in BDSM* and fetish culture.

For those who dare, check out the video posted below for a taste of Merzbow.

*An acronym for (BD) Bondage, discipline, (DS) dominance, submission, (SM) sadism, and masochism.



 And yes. That is a chair on fire.
