Comments on: I Know The Feeling http://www.onebigdog.net/i-know-the-feeling/ "Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls. Don't ever argue with the Big Dog because the Big Dog is always right" Sat, 11 Feb 2012 16:25:29 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Blake http://www.onebigdog.net/i-know-the-feeling/comment-page-1/#comment-142548 Blake Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:22:17 +0000 http://www.onebigdog.net/?p=8211#comment-142548 The thing that I find hilarious is the fact that some of these "artists" are actually surprised that their music might be un- listenable, even truly classified as a torturous instrument. Just hearing some of their music makes me want to hurl- but then I always was a sensitive soul. My fragile psyche wants order, a melody, hell, a plan when it comes to music- not just noise, but make it sound like something other than a junkyard at midday.

If it is played at 85 dBA TWA (or higher levels exceeding the <a href="http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=standards&p_id=9735" rel="nofollow">corresponding exposure times</a>) then it can cause hearing loss. If it is played below this level then it is fine. Most concerts that these musicians who are complaining perform have sound levels well above 85 dBA so the question is: When we go to their concerts, are they torturing us? As an aside, they should play Toby Keith's Taliban Song and The Angry American over and over and give them the lyrics translated so they know exactly what he is saying.
