So the military has taken to torturing prisoners with loud music blasted into their cell all day/night. The article in the guardian goes on to describe the torture tactic and the common playlists of torture.
So here's some of the most interesting parts:
"Inevitably, when poorly trained interrogators are encouraged to let their imaginations soar, they veer towards their own idiosyncratic perversions. One budding Emcee artfully mixed the sound of crying babies with a television commercial for Meow Mix cat food."
Some artists are not offended by their work being used to torture. "If the Iraqis aren't used to freedom, then I'm glad to be part of their exposure," James Hetfield, co-founder of Metallica, has said. As for his music being torture, he laughed: "We've been punishing our parents, our wives, our loved ones with this music for ever. Why should the Iraqis be any different?"
Dear James Hetfield, you are a total dick. I would like to lock you in a room and play all the pop songs I downloaded from napster in the early 90's.
Love,
Jimi
