Augustus Pablo, you're into decent music. You ever heard of Swans?

I saw them about 12 years ago and had to leave the room because it was so loud. I could still hear it in the next room of the venue but the shaking vibrations weren't making me feel so ill. You don't realise it's happening because they gradually turn the volume up each song so your sensations increase as the show goes on.

My Bloody Valentine did a similar concept on their second album and tour in 2017.

Went to see a band called Dead Space Chamber Music in a chapel of a cemetery last night. I had my ear plugs in so didn't realise it was following this concept. I thought I was losing it.

I had to walk out one song from the end otherwise I genuinely think I might have passed out. Took me about 2 hours to calm down from the rush.

I sat on the steps of the chapel and someone came over to me and said it was way too loud for them too. I didn't feel as embarrassed about it after that 😁.

My mate loved it but then he's a massive Swans fan.

(Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk)
