TWO MINUTES WITH A BORROWED CASIO

Ian C Stewart "Two Minutes with a Borrowed Casio" MP3

Whose keyboard was this? Certainly not mine. Here's two minutes of what can only be described as half an hour of Casio exploration.

At the very end of the track, I swore you were gonna break into "Funky Town" by Lipps Inc.

I dig the painting cause it appears to be 'bleeding' both up and down.

Neat-o!

Can't be certain, but I'd swear the Casi-ho was mines. The silver one I had that later made itself useful as a candle shelf.

that beat sounds AWFULly familiar and I'm pretty sure there's a kid chill tape somewhere around here with the same beat.

Or I could just be smoking crack and looking for a graceful way to say 'what's up'. Either way. Good to hear some of the old tracks and see pix of the basement again. Had a lot of musically formative and otherwise memorable moments there.

Ha, you may be right about it being your Casio.

Good times.

Right then, I'll head back on to lurking...I mean working (just in case IT is monitoring keystrokes. Because I'm TOTALLY working).

Talk to you later!

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. 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
