i like some good noise. but the problem is that the genre has become like punk. they found one way that works, and almost nobody leaves that fit form structure. i find noise musicians to be much more interesting when they mold different elements into the mix. for example, i saw a live eric copleand show, and what he does is really cool. he does loops of feeback and rythm ala' merzbow, but then adds these simple melodies on top that add a very beautiful contrast and make the listening experiance, even though it is loud as fuck, very much enjoyable.
that is also why i really like the whole "new weird america" scence, because they take elements of noise and drone and different sounds and mix them with a more folky groove. and it makes the music much more interesting.
i really like hair police and wolf eyes and a lot of other stuff though, even if it is more "noise".
but my favorite kind of noise is free improve.
