If It Ain't Broke...


You know that old rock and roll axiom, if it's too loud, you're too old? Well it turns out that's not always the case. Over the last decade or so the production of pop and rock music has been both perfected and made much louder than ever before. The result? A lot of music that is harder to hear and that has, quite frankly, lost its human feel. Don't believe me? Check out this fascinating article on NPR which breaks it all down with audio and visuals to boot!

Happy Veteran's Day

Despite the fact that here in Washington, DC we are being drenched by the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida (that tramp!), An Ocean of Noise is going to spend the day volunteering to fix up a shelter for Veterans put together by our non-profit friends at Yachad. If you have nothing to do today (luck bastard!) check out NPR's comprehensive look at the last decade in music. Good stuff.
