(idm) excrutiatingly perverse mixtapes

OK, to go back to a very fat and tempting thread (started by Che):

<<warning: the following post is not for the faint of heart>>

I remember a (somewhat eccentric) friend I had in high school...he decided to 
make a mixtape involving nothing but "The Reflex" by Duran Duran and "We're 
Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister repeated over and over again, each in 
turn, ad nauseum.

Specifically, I remember him having a boombox at the beach, playing this 
tape.  And somehow, his friends seemed to enjoy it.  While these songs may be 
loathsome by IDM standards, I s'pose we can at least give the fellow credit 
for being perversely post-modern in a way so painful as to inspire 
teeth-gnashing admiration from Alec Empire.
