MORGUE SHADOW

Morgue Shadow Pale by Comparison

In 1993 I invented a genre I called vampire rap. Vampire rap came about after watching Bram Stoker's Dracula too many times & listening to Straight Outta Compton too many times. It seemed like a simple enough idea to swap the gangster imagery in hiphop for vampire imagery. Instead of hating the police, hating the clergy. & replacing Eazy-E with Rozz Williams......

MC Ghoul & the Morgue Shadow "I'm a Necro" MP3

This project remains unfinished. The 'band' name has changed several times. It started as Pasty Chumps, then changed to Pasty Chimps. Then Morgue Chimps, then Ghouly F'ing Whatever ...

& I think "Morgue Shadow" was the name we used that time Todd & I opened for Devilcake at Apollo's. We went on first, with the drum machine, he played bass, I played guitar & sang a few songs.

Holy shit. Was that the Andre Von Dredd shit?

Man. I'm reading through some of these posts and realize I don't really know this 'Todd' cat at all....let alone did I have any idea at the time (or now) how much shit you were into musically.

THESE CHORDS ARE LIKE FAMILY TO ME

Ian C Stewart "These Chords are like Family to Me" MP3 From the 2003 made-to-be-made-not-made-to-be-heard album I Don't Know Why You Think I Won't Kill You .... this is the last song. This was the beginning of my dabbling with intentional randomness in songwriting. The lyrics for the whole album were compiled from albums by other artists that I enjoyed a lot, such as Adrian Belew's Twang Bar King , The Cure's Pornography , Voivod Nothingface , Mercyful Fate Melissa etc. I wrote out entire lines of their phrases and chopped them together. I think at the time I described it as 'sad psychedelic love songs about satan' overall, which is really being too generous. The music was also randomly chosen from tablature found on t'interwebs for favorite songs of mine.

SOUVENIRS

Ian C Stewart "Souvenirs" Youtube Many lifetimes and receding hairlines ago, somebody somewhere had the idea to make a fresh compilation CD of new mopey acoustic guitar based songs.
