No, I frequently hear things I don't want to hear. That's an integral part of life.
What you are saying is that it all sounds the same to
you. I'd probably say the same thing about people speaking Chinese, but to people who know the language, directions to the bus stop don't sound like romantic poetry.

At least I couldn't. Maybe you are magic, who knows.

I wouldn't be able to do that with Wolf Eyes, because I don't know their records that well. I'm certain a Wolf Eyes fan probably could do it though. I can do it with the Cocteau Twins and to somebody not familiar with them, you often hear their music all sounds the same. I've actually heard the claim leveled against Sonic Youth a fair amount too, though yes, songs with lyrics make it easier to identify them than songs without.
