FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL Youtube

Ian C Stewart "First Day of School" Youtube

Recorded in 1999 or 2000 at the same desk as before. This song might've appeared on an off-the-cuff acoustic tape I made around this time called Bvllsh!t!.

I dig the part where you play the notes that you are singing at the very beginning of ear verse. Mixes it up from the usually strumming thing.

Also, the last chord in the verse (at least the first two verses) reminds me of the next to last chord in the verse of some Yes song. I tried figuring out which one to no avail.

I don't think I contributed to the "Because It's Cheaper Than Therapy" album. I think I wrote songs for two non-released albums.. one was my cover of Twisted Sisters "Price" and the other was, I think, part of a comp called "Because It's Cheaper Than A Real Keyboard", where I say some gawd awful song called "Jenny, You".

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 music was also randomly chosen from tablature found on t'interwebs for favorite songs of mine. In general I played the chords in reverse order to the original songs but I can still kind of tell in a couple of places what the songs were. The titles were my own, obviously. Although I did cho

CANCER COFFINS

XYCHQ "Cancer Coffins" MP3 February 1989. Michael and I were in two bands together simultaneously. XYCHQ and (in Parentheses). Both of which played at this particular party. XYCHQ was normally Ray singing, Jeff playing bass, Michael on guitar, me on drums. But there were one or two songs that I played guitar and sang on. "Things I Hate" was one, "Cancer Coffins" was another. Both were "searing" (cough) indictments of the shallow world around my 17-year-old self. Y'know, the social injustice of um people using tanning beds. So yeah, this song "Cancer Coffins" was sort of a funky metal thing at the beginning. Then a thrashy riff for the chorus. And then the breakdown, which will be familiar to anyone who ever heard Devilcake's song "Fribble." or the (in Parentheses) track "Enthalpy." Hey, never let a good riff go to waste. Michael slays the drums on this one. Jeff still on bass. I'm not sure why I was yelli
