Music Times - November 2007

12 songs that demand cranking volume!

Songs that need to be played loud

No Loud Music
Read the sign



The recent Australian tragedy where a gun toting music lover shot and killed his neighbour for complaining about the loud tunes had me wondering who is in the wrong? Granted, blowing a father of four away is far too extreme a penalty but don’t we all agree there are certain songs that command us to pump the decibels through the roof.

As the Mercury rises the pleasure increases




I’m talking a limited selection of rowdy, thumpin’ rhythms that should be permitted by law to give the DJ the power to use the maximum wattage available. Obviously there would also have to be stringent penalties for breaking the decibel barrier with inappropriate material.

Which brings me to my list, or should I say lists. Two of them, first the “Yays” that inspire, astound, assault and unleash every pore in the essence of your being.

12 songs that SHOULD be allowed to blast windows and tear paint! (In No Order)

Now for the “Nays”, songs so painful to endure at any output level that hearing them could easily be compared to a psychological war of attrition.

9 appalling noisemakers that are a blights on the industry, extreme examples of punishable sounds.…(Disclaimer - It’s easier to blanket statement what you hate.)

Bagpipes – Unless it is in AC/DC song

Justin Timberlake

Kylie Minogue

– Just to cover all bets because sooner or later she will want a singing career as well.

So where do you draw the line with the volume dial/button? Should certain songs have veto rights or is this the dumbest idea you’ve ever read?

They Might Be Giants cover album podcast
They Might Be Giants is an American alternative group comprised of two members: John Flansburgh and John Linell. You might just call them 'John and John' but then you'd miss out on how fantastically large they are.

For they are genuine giants. Towering over 8m in height, the Johns combine melodic lyrics with hands large enough to crush a man's skull

Lemon Demon

Lemon Demon is the brilliant Internet-based band fronted by Neil Cicierega, known for his Flash animations, called 'Animutation'. He's unbearably young (I think he's just turned 18) and unmistakably talented.

I first heard of Lemon Demon when this video spread virally over the internet
