Name: The Perils of Cutting Corners by blakerobinson in Whooa Werid
Duration: 1 min 22 s
Description: This is the full version of a little ditty I wrote a while ago. The final track was much more reserved so that voices could be heard over the top of it - this is just the crazy evil instrumental.

Whooa Werid

Kiss Me (Kill Me) - JerryTerry

a collection of covers crafted in a crucible of complacency,
these are the scribblings and droolings
of a sad, sad victim of hatred and maniacy,
ruthless and dark in its ruling. 
an album laced in contempt.
with naught but malice intent.
the etchings of a fool, under depression's rule,
covered in discontent.

The Moss

A new singy piece of original music about putting your all into the task you love and doing the job well. Thanks as always to Gloom Shake the Room for bringing the other half of this song. You can find more of her magic stuffs all over the place at https://linktr.ee/gloomdarkheart.

Lyrics:
Oh one by one, they all will tumble down
Drop without a sound, six feet underground.
Oh one by one they bleed a pretty shade,
The red's never the same, pumped through artery or vein,
From blade to pills, to rope around the neck.
It's a thrill they never will forget.
From blade to dirt, it happens so damn quick,
and nothing does the trick like murdering for kicks.

So show me how you bleed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door
and I want more!

Oh one by one they all will hear the sound
of being drowned... while tied up, gagged and bound.
Oh one by one it hits them in the guts,
another couple slugs, then toss 'em in the rug.
A bag, a box or maybe in a cake,
It's a choice they never get to make
From bag to dirt, it happens so damn quick,
Oh nothing does the trick like murdering for kicks.

So show me how you bleed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door with open arms.
So show me how you bleeeeeed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door.
And I need a little more!

Yeah I need a little more!

Oh lemme have one more

I gotta have one mooooooore yeah!

Solid Steel (5th December) It's a huge show this week as we welcome back Diplo to Solid Steel. 10 years ago Diplo released his album Florida on Big Dada and played his first UK gig in an intimate venue at the monthly Solid Steel club night (and twice more that year). He plays somewhat larger venues now, including a residency in Las Vegas and Madison Square Garden on NYE. To celebrate the reissue of F10RIDA, he drops a mix exclusively for Solid Steel which features the new Eprom remix of Big Lost from the album, plus music across the board from Deadboy, Radiohead, Pharcyde, Kaytranada, Heaven 17 and our very own Bonobo.

It all starts down in the heart, it ends deep in my mind
I'll find some way to turn back time
But the voice inside told me to bide my time
Says that they'll never find out what we've done

A memory so vivid and clear
All the boxes were stacked as we settled in here
A new start for the family, a quiet kind of calm
But the shadows felt longer as days moved along
The routine was simple, but cracks in the flow
Something whispering quietly, the seeds they were sown
Late nights stressed out for work, his frustration it grew
His kids they grew louder, his marriage it soured
His power, it wavered, as influence grew
They're keeping you down, parasites upon you
And where is your wife? Probably out cheating on you
I've got the solution to take back your life
Here take this kitchen knife

It all starts down in the heart, it ends deep in my mind
I'll find some way to turn back time
But the voice inside told me to bide my time
Says that they'll never find out what we've done

Hushed as the sun goes to set
In a weathered old home all are tucked in their beds
Through the slat plaster rib cage you'll hear a sweet song
Softly hummed from the rafters as temperatures drop
Down each hallway a shadow stands just out of reach
Hinting murder and massacre all while they sleep
Now if only you could make the whispering stop
Then demons would leave and the nightmares on top
Shhh, I'm here in your mind we're alone
You and I caught in a spin its so haunting
Ethereal, spectral, and phantasmagoric
I'm the ghost in the dark and I'm all that you need
And this house wont let you leave

It all starts down in the heart, it ends deep in my mind
I'll find some way to turn back time
But the voice inside told me to bide my time
Says that they'll never find out what we've done
It all starts down in the heart, it ends deep in my mind
I'll find some way to turn back time
But the voice inside told me to bide my time
Says that they'll never find out what we've done

Lyrics:
I had a lot of friends till I drove them round the bend
and then they left me all alone and so I roam around the globe
In search of new shiny buddies, to share with them my worries
and my joys and my toys and my secret jars of poison!
I searched up high... I searched down low...
But... no matter where I look no friends began to show
and so I made a list of killers, and wrote them all letters
asking lots of friendly questions... with all the best intent they told me

Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you

I keep each letter in a box under my bed
It really rocks 'cos when I'm sad I just read all of them again
I sent them drawings done in crayon, and plans for domination
even cute little collages of their exploits from the papers.
And when they get out, we will be friends
Bestest buddies un-til the end
We'll go on picnics, with long pork sammies
But I keep thinking 'bout... What they told me

Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you
Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you

Lyrics:
I know you belong to somebody new
But tonight you belong to me
Although we're apart, you're a part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me
Way down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the moonlight
My honey, I know with the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Way down, way down along the stream, 
How very, very sweet will be your screams
Once more just to dream
In the silvery moonlight
My honey, I know
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Just-a-little ol' me

Yo Gabba Gabba! Music Is Awesome! Vol. 3

Yo Gabba Gabba! Circus

Another obsession this week. This time it's Jack's. I originally started this cover of "Jack’s Obsession" from The Nightmare Before Christmas as a straight remake for practice... but somewhere along the way, it morphed and I had some fun on the bass and guitar.

Coming to the usual platforms very soon! Check here for updates and links.

Danny Elfman's original is, of course, untouchably brilliant, so this is more of a lovingly unhinged half-tribute, half-improvisation. Think of it as a Halloween Town fever dream, part orchestral, part rock.

Want to hear more of our music? Craving some extra spooky musical madness? Gloom Darkheart and I have a whole playlist full of them:

An orchestra rendition of 'Daddy's Little Monster' from Adventure Time. Just a quick wiggly remix for now until I'm back home again.

The Perils of Cutting Corners

I've been tinkering with music since I was a kid, composing tunes for fun. Nowadays, I mainly write orchestral scores for video games. Alongside this, with an extensive career in the games industry as a tools programmer I've now focused my skills on developing next-generation sample libraries and music software.
