The Aural Equivalent Of Sniffing Glass*

Random webtrawling occasionally throws up the odd piece of interesting flotsam amongst all the detritus. Today I found just such a 'gem'. Well, maybe gem is too strong a word, but Mobile Sonic Warfare Unit certainly live up to their name and their mission statement:

MOBILE SONIC WARFARE UNIT exists solely to agitate and aggravate the civilian population of the United States of America. They perform improvised noise concerts on a moment's notice, usually in an inappropriate setting (e.g: coffee house, golf course, church). Their instrumentation varies from set to set but it often involves computers or synthesizers, as these are most compact and easy to flee a scene with. They will play until their unsuspecting victims force them to stop. Mainly, they are an attempt to condition the lazy, apathetic, indecisive American public to react willingly, readily, and as a whole against anything that may cross them for the worse.

Also, they want your money.

If I was sat in a cafe with an LCT (lovely cuppa tea) and this lot started up, they'd soon be wearing it. But I'd be highly amused too. It may be horrendously unlistenable once you've been subjected to more than a minute's worth, but you've got to admire the sheer punk attitude of the whole enterprise.

*Ten bonus I-Spy Punk Points for the first person who can identify the author of the original quote I bastardised for this heading and the band s/he was referring to.
