Been a while, so you’re expecting a brilliant post as payoff for the wait, right? Fuggedaboutit! Today’s post is all noise, all the time.

First off: Henry Bean’s newest film is all about the unrelenting urban soundscape. Cue VO: “Tim Robbins is a man with a mission: annihilate the noise of New York City, and bring power to the people. Noise. Coming soon to a theater near you.” (Surely there’s a musical to follow — “Noise! Noise! Noise!”)

Second: the entertaining conversation at the community-link site Metafilter that follows the movie announcement, where people share their top-five “worst noises of all time” and also offer up some clever homespun remedies for shutting up the neighbors. (Hint: plug your nose!)
