I had franz ferdinand's 'take me out' stuck in my head for literally five days & nights nonstop. even when I woke up in the middle of the night, I woke up with that lead guitar buzzing in my head over and over again. I tried every possible idiotic tune to replace it, eventually sinking to the low point of listening 'hit me baby one more time' on repeat. not a god damn thing did it do to me. except make me feel dirty and violated, not in the good way, and franz ferdinand just kept hammering on. five days.

I once had the misfortune to leave Enigma's Return to Innocence on repeat on my CD player overnight whilst I slept. For a week after, it was all I could think. I started sentences with short Native Indian chants and made pretentious additions to fellows in conversation such as 'Be yourself don't hide, just believe in destiny' and cr@p like that, it was horrid. I actually considered damaging my frontal lobe in an attempt to cease the pain.

which brings up another musical memory. a long time ago I got lou reed's 'metal machine music'. like many other teenagers, I thought I had heard it all, and regardless of calls for caution, I pressed on and put the record on in the middle of the night.
the first minute sounded interesting, and made me want to listen more. after around three minutes, I started to think this probably isn't going to develop much from this basic cacophony of screeching noise. I felt a bit uneasy at that point. then, around 8 minutes, I started to get actual physical pain in my head, and felt quite bad. at 11 minutes I felt absolutely horrible, depressed and paranoid, so I stopped the record. the feeling didn't vanish, and I couldn't listen to anything for two hours or so. I just needed total silence for a while. it was just too much for my poor little virgin ears.
today, I listen to merzbow etc. for breakfast of course, and 'metal machine music' sounds as laid back as pizzicato five to me. but back then, it was just way too intense for me.
