    I saw Thurston moore band, in 2014 I think it was, in Exeter (Devon) it was one of the best live band experiences of my life, no lie. I had like two beers, but when I closed my eyes listening to the band, with the hammering baseline, solid drums, and two guitar's playing chordialy with each other, I felt my brain floating upwards. Music to trip to, with out the need of outside chemical influence. I have so much time for this dudes music.

    I stick a knife in my head thinking 'bout your eyes
    But now that you been shot dead, I got a new surprise
    But I've been waitin' for you just to say, the Zoftig chick is mine
    But all I know is you got no money, but that's got nothing to do with a good time
    But can you forgive the boy who shot you in the head
    Or should you get a gun and go and get revenge
    A 100% of my love up to you true star
    It's hard to believe you took off, I always thought you'd go far
    I've been around the world a million times and all you men are slime
    A gun to my head, goodbye, I am dead

      Turn everything on and off a lot. Just to keep it interesting bump it an octave or two and if you also happen to have a carriage spring laying around slap your guitar body with it while making a vague e chord. YVW.

    Funny to see how after 30 years people still miss the point of what noise rock really is. Go listen to Satriani Santana ect if you don’t like this 😂 T is a noise god he’s not here to play guitar in the way you expect. He’s an anti guitar hero this is why he’s a genius!
