What do songs by the Bee Gees, Britney Spears, Bruce Springsteen, Dr. Dre, James Taylor, Queen, Rage against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Sesame street theme all have in common? Their repetitive and loud usage was admittedly (pdf) used, some would say as torture, on prisoners at the military facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Now that the above songs have been linked to Gitmo operations by government admission or guard/prisoner testimony other bands are demanding that the US inform them if their acts were used during the interrogation process.

Sadly I can't make it there, but I thought I might take this chance to make a short tribute to them here in case there are any TNTers interested in Japanese post-rock/indie/emo/jazz (not my description, theirs).
