31) "The Mid-Morning Recording"         The Art of Noise-'(Who's Afraid of?) The Art of Noise!
Thanks to my friend John for letting me take care of a decent amount of his CD collection, I have a new stack of "Mid-Morning Recordings" to play. I start this stack tonight with this classic noise-pop release. This is one of those albums that sounds just as fresh today as it did nearly 30 years ago. It's bizarre, ground breaking, and worthy of a late night listen. "HEY!"
