This is not so much in relation to PE and industrial as it is to noise noise. I'm curious to hear people's opinions on taking drugs, getting drunk while enjoying noise. This is under the assumption that you enjoy this sonic bliss alone, which I know for many of you is not the case (I wonder what it is like to be chillin' whichya boyz to Incapacitants, etc?). I am by no means a veteran listener, but my first epiphany came under the influence of Ahlzagailzehguh's "Black Destination" in 2005; alone, hammered on Labrott & Graham's Woodford Reserve Bourbon with a few bowls of homemade hash. It would be in bad taste, as I don't have much literary flair, to describe the experience. It was simply an "Ah hah!!" moment to say the least. It's been without looking back since that moment. Noise is something I indulge in from morning to night. Typically sober. But, it came to mind as I wander here at my all-alone night-shift warehouse job, having just polished off the remainder of my Bulleit Rye, that someone here on the board, and elsewhere, is half deep too, by whatever intoxicant. This curiosity will probably bother many of you - so be it. I've lived my life, relatively alone in rural Pennsy and have no companions in noise , save my girlfriend who basically only enjoys "Sex Sick" and "Savage Inequalities".
Blah, my point is, what is your association in this sense? Have a favorite combo? I'm in the midst of the "Nitro Dragsters" comp and all is well. Although I don't think the experience of noise in always enhanced by drink and drugs, but there are of course artists that seem ideal for the buzz. Say, for instance, Macronympha, in all their Fear-and-Loathing-style glory.
