Excellent morning for listening to noise includes:
Robert Fuchs - C.O.T.H. (Usagi)
Was reorganizing some shelves in the kitchen when I popped this in. Truly fits the definition of "domestic noise," as many of the sounds blurred into the activity at hand. I love the reservation presented here. When I have seen Robert Fuchs live, especially the last time I did, he has been so blaring and loud; totally relentless. This disc is nothing like that. It shows how you can take such ungodly sound like mixer feedback and give it some gentle quality to it. I know there are artists who have done that, but the names I think of have done with the intention of things being more "ambient." I do not get that feeling from this disc. The reservation of C.O.T.H. feels more like snaking a sewer than sitting in a pasture... Snaking a drain is fun to me, F.Y.I.
Various Artists - Lapse from Virtue (Sound of Pig)
Coffee kicks in now as I am making/eating breakfast to this diverse compilation. I think this is a good example of the dub creating something stranger than what may have been intended. Artists like Solmania & Merzbow go from being harsh monoliths to sounding like their tracks got thrown through the trash compactor. It leads to a fun listening experience! I think my favorite from the compilation would have to be from Nihilist Surfin' Group, whose track feels like flipping through a radio/plugging in a guitar to a fried out amp. This is the kind of stuff that feels like a nice "warm up" trick when you first turn on your gear, but would never think to release as a serious track. I have to give props to those who are more willing to put this kind of stuff out.
Minoy - Ejaculations (Paris,1919) (Sound of Pig)
What plays as I type at the computer. A weird exploration through various oscillators and radio. While it does not have the same punch as the previous 2 titles for me, I still am enjoying it. I will see where this goes.

DECONDITION - Skin, flesh, bones and marrow of truth (CD, FA)
Very impressed with this new Decondition album. It consist of long tracks that slowly build up tension (and noise) as they progress. The first tracks are quite in the "heavy electronics" realm of things as they start off, I get some Anenzephalia-vibes almost. Then layers of noisy textures are added and things get more and more intense. Very enjoyable.

I am all for 10 guys playing for 10 guys thing, but I feel most European countries had kind of "internationa/national noise scene" rather than local workshop scene -type of thing or local venue only type of thing. Of course its possible they elaborate more in patreon part. Now, there was a hint, when Jim talk about being so surprised when organizing his fest and getting couple Italians contact him and wanting to come to the fest. I think over here, you got both things. You got the gigs that are promoted predominantly for Finns, something small scale.. and then the bigger or more unusual, where also foreigners tend to come.
I remember already 15 years ago, when there was frequently someone from Sweden or Russia visiting gigs and we were asking like why you travel all the way to finland into someones basement or whatever bunker and it was most often that nothing was happening where they lived.

Tesco announced: THE GREY WOLVES "DIVISION" CD. Now it will be packaged like the recent reissues have been. CD between couple cards. It may be even better, since I didn't care much for the clamshell box packaging it originally had.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but today was going thru some random recordings and it struck me that a high gain distortion VST could be nice to quickly throw on some raw noise, found this free Metal Zone vst clone which seems pretty nice :) Plus some other VST pedals (tube screamer etc) -
