BUT IT'S



FZZY PMPR "But It's" MP3

Tehhh Fuzzee Pumperrrr, back by no demand whatsoever. After the first round of FZZY PMPR action, from 1998-2000 or so.....by 2003,
my style morphed somewhat from incessantly layering every single record, tape & CD I ever liked to incessantly ruining every single beat & sample I could find.

Do you see what happened there? The difficult second FZZY PMPR album was IDM ('intelligent dance music') without intending to be.

Whereas the first FZZY stuff was fun & funky, this difficult second album, with a difficult title CNTRYXMS (aka 'country christmas' aka the worst phrase in the English language, contrasted with at the time the best phrase, 'free pizza'.) was no fun for anyone.

In 2003. Did I release this thing? Has anyone even heard the 50-or-so mini-jamzzzz?

It sounds like I had less source material to work with, so tinkered far more with the few ingredients I did have. As opposed to, y'know, sampling Adrian Belew inhaling or a single snare drum hit from a Juliana Hatfield song. That type of thing, to infinity. Punctuated with a Captain Beefheart laugh.

Anyway, the uptempo drum loop is probably from one of those Acid-like music software program source disk things. The sawtooth synth tone is definitely from Cool Edit 96, the soundf!cking tool of choice for FZZY at the time.


Fog Machine Test in Living Room September 2001


Devilcake Island flier July 2003. I made this flier at work one day when I was very bored, using clip art & the horrible fonts that were preloaded on my PC there. The clip art photo was probably designed for a desktop wallpaper or something, & looked extra silly with 'devilcake' written beneath it. I hung up the flier in my little area at work for a laugh & a new, airheaded coworker saw it & asked where Devilcake Island was.

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...
