There are no "wrong" notes anyway. Any note juxtaposed with any other note can spark something interesting. Sonic Youth taught us that. So did DNA and Ornette Coleman and Merzbow or who have you. You just have to train your nervous system to respond to them.
What you are trying to describe (more or less) stems from the "12 tone technique¨" and it was developed by Arnold Schoenberg in the 1920's, not Sonic fucking Youth in 1982.
Please stop. Really. You´ve proven time and again that you know shit-all about music history, been called out on it, and yet you continue to portray yourself as some sort of authoritative source,
constantly.
Edit: B52s S/T is Not Crap, Not Crap, Not Crap.
NerblyBear isn't describing pantonality; he's simply describing how it's possible to shift our peception of consonant and dissonant intervals based on context. In all honesty, if anyone "tought" us that, it was the medieval English. Their choirs began using tertian harmony, which was considered "dissonant" compared to the "organum duplum" harmonies, consisting of perfect fourths and fifths, that were used in Gregorian chants. Of course, tertian harmony has long since been considered the sanctum sanctorum of consonance.
P.S. That album is very NOT CRAP. Never has gay camp rocked so hard.
