Music Hides The Screams

Jeebus*, my jaw hurts like a fucking bastard. The nice people at the teeth factory shot me full of morphine, which was nice, and actually worked for a while. Then it wore off. Not nice. Even the fucking 60mg DHC tablets my doctor prescribed barely take the fucking edge off of the feeling that some cunt is ramming a screwdriver into the joint of my jaw. They do however turn me into some kind of narcoleptic, which means my neighbours are spared, for a couple of hours anyway, the really loud swearing that happens each time the dull background throb spikes into a seriously viscious stab of agony, which happens 2 or 3 times an hour and makes white light flash behind my eyes. Serious pain calls for serious fucking music. I can't be arsed with anything soothing when I feel like this, it just amplifies the unpleasantness. What doesn't tho, is some nice skullscraping sonic violence, music so dense and all-conquering that the brain gets overwhelmed with massive clusters of soundfuck that the immersive state of subconcious concentration one finds oneself in tells the background pain processing centre to shut the fuck down so the rest of the brain can dig this really fucking cool noise. Plus, when the pain crescendo returns, no one can hear the torrent of unbelievably foul language which will inevitably occur. So I've been mainly listening to this little lot over the past few days:
