I NEED AN ASPIRIN


The Uncultured "I Need an Aspirin" MP3
Recorded February 28, 1988



life gives me a headache
I need a major cure
I need an aspirin
something white and pure

I need an aspirin
to take away the pain
addicted to the fire
fire in my brain

too much knowledge
all I see is black
by knowing what I want
I make a knowledge stack

where do I live
what do I eat
what a waste
it hurts my feet

who cares who cares
no one at all
who cares who cares
no one cares
who cares who cares
no one I know
gives a shit about what I have to say
and I never want to hear your voice again!

Ray Lilly - vocals
Michael Million - guitar & vocals
Aaron Pauley - bass
Ian C Stewart - guitar
Mark Ward - drums

heh heh ... punk.

Would this be during the Cod... Not God years? That had a very punkish feel to me as well.

Yes, exactly.

"Cod, Not God" is actually the next song on the tape...... but I thought I'd go with "Aspirin" here since it's not as well known.

Whatever that means.

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...
