The only noise gigs I really enjoyed recently were Sutcliffe Jugend and Jazzkammer full Metal Music Machine line-up. Especially the last one was really fantastic, although not everyone would really considerate it noise I guess.
John Wiese on the other hand would've bored me to tears if it wasn't for the fortunate fact that he played so short. And several more (especially laptop and/or delay pedal) noise dudes and dudettes have kind of bored me recently, so I definitely recognise the feeling of getting bored with noise. When you first start listening to it there's interesting stuff to discover, but sooner or later it definitely gets samey and I hardly buy any of it anymore. I've never participated in getting all those limited-to-23-self-released-cassettes-of-such-and-such band or all the weekly CDRs by the usual suspects that appear on places like Volcanic Tongue etc, but nowadays I tend to skip the merch tables at live shows too, sometimes even if the band were good. Because whenever I buy some noise album there I listen to it like 2-3 times at most and then it just ends up collecting dust in some random pile of unlistened stuff... that pile is getting too big now.
