CORNER OF THE SKY




that's right, this tape is for HIGH ENERGY MUSIC.

Ian C Stewart "Corner of the Sky" MP3

Ianeffective is most of the In Bursts stuff. "Corner of the Sky" never wound up being released despite being one of the stronger songs of the era. It went through at least two musical permutations but I guess I was still unhappy with some aspect of it in the end. Which is strange considering how enthusiastic I was at the time about "William Carlos Williams," which is a Hugo Largo ripoff for two bass guitars and um unique vocal performance. ? Exactly.

I think "Corner of the Sky," even at the time, felt like a blatant homage/parody of the Cure. Like, too blatant to be comfortable with, maybe. I don't remember. It's not a bad little song now, though.




at the center of the sky
is an escape loop for you and I
climb on top because you can fly
levitate and don't ask why








Samarkand swirly sticker 1993 Making this sticker thrilled me to no end. That was the early days of working nights at the K. Which was my dream job.


Handwritten lyrics for "Into" 1993 I have no idea why.

Liked the song. Nice chug-chug-chug feel to it.

Those swirly stickers are awesome.

Maybe you just need to post the rules for chumpball.

WWW.chumpball.com is already taken, but chumpball.org and chumpball.net are still available. :-p

Yeah, I think Chumpball was kind of like Calvinball. Calvin & Hobbes?

Any excuse to dive on the furniture & dunk three hoops at the same time.

Todd was the king of chumpball. Probably still is! :)

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...
