Problems

Probably my favorite song on this album.
The "main loop" is from a rehearsal recording of my math-rock type band, Ultra Death Men, sped up and cut up.
The song is about a lot of things, as always, but was most heavily inspired by my first trip to San Diego. It was a pretty strange, negative, and intense part of my life, but the experiences I had there had profound effects on my outlook.
The first line of the lyrics references one night Bradlea and I were driving through the desert and the entire dusk sky was literally a full rainbow.
The reiteration of that part of the song the second time is about how I'd wake up every morning to a collection of four cats sleeping on me and they'd all scramble away from me when they realized I was awake, as if to hide the fact that they'd been sleeping on me.

Loud Noise In My Room

Seventh track on Bad Happy.

A bit of an "anthem" for those of you who have a propensity to compromise yourself and overlook unfair mistreatment by your friends and other loved ones for the sake of keeping the relationships intact... I'm quite prone to this.

Even after years of being hurt by people I know who have cheated on me, belittled my accomplishments and talent, ditched me, ignored my calls and emails, forgot to do important things they said they would for, broken promises, violated my trust, and whatever else, for the sake of nothing but themselves, I've still generally stayed un-confrontational about betrayal, essentially making it okay to betray me.
I wanted to approach this topic in a constructive manner, as often I do, but not be too subtle about the message.

If you're in a position where you are compromising your own happiness to keep your life less dramatic and your friends groups without schism; relationships without quarrel: don't keep doing it. Try to find common ground.
If they remain obstinate, they aren't worth your time.

/Life lesson

Betrayal is okay.

The Boys Are Back In Town (to Kill You)

In 2011 I played an event in Detroit called Ultra Mega Awesome Extreme. At the show a fan, rather overwhelmed by my presence, asked me if I'd be playing You're A Bad Cat Man. Due to the nature of the show, I had already made the setlist and couldn't deviate from it, but I said I'd try to work it in.
In the midst of playing the set, I completely forgot about trying to play the song.

The following year, I was asked to participate again, so I made sure to put it in the setlist and play it. However, the song is so old that it says nothing of where I am musically, so I reworked the entire song. This is what I did for that show... and then I recorded new vocals for some reason.

The Group

In early 2011, I toured with Yatagarasu in support of my then new album, Bad Happy. About 11 days or so into the tour, we played Panama City. After the show, we went to the house we were staying for the night and I began to incessantly rap an annoying phrase at my tourmate.
What does that have to do with the song? Not a whole lot, but shortly after bothering the hell out of Chris with my song, I went to check my email and promote the next night's show via Facebook and noticed I was tagged in a rather busy thread on the Monomate wall (or maybe it was a post on my wall that was busy... who knows). Pete had remixed the speedy and chaotic track, Metallic Sheep Nap, into a sultry, down-tempo pop groove. At the end of the year, the track appeared on the Monomate double album "NE/PO" as part of the Positive Emotions side. (Ironically, the song is one of extremely negative thoughts and was recorded in the midst of a panic attack, but I like the idea of taking negativity, balling it up, and reshaping it into something positive.)

I decided I would respond with a remix of my own of a Monomate track, but it had to be the right track at the right moment.

Later on in life, Pete noted that we should collaborate on some kind of dance music album. That may or may not happen some day, but that idea would certainly be the thought that lead me to jokingly start to do a remix of this song as an electroclash thing. What happened beyond the corny electroclash beat and vaguely appropriate-for-the-style bass line was just the natural reaction of my brain being ridiculous. It can hard for me to stick with a particular genre unless I'm being paid to do it.

I actually cut this song up to do something more artistically interesting with it, the thought being that he was taking a negative and making something positive out of it, and I'd be doing the same, in that I know the album this song comes from carries the same kind of fan-popularity based self-stigmas that my first recordings do for me... but instead, I quite possibly went in the total opposite direction, throwing the concept of taste under the bus, but I dare say I'm happy with this track.
Anyone who has spent any time in my car knows I legitimately love some pretty over the top and ridiculously cheesy dance music.

It's my understanding that his music may be posted somewhere on youtube, so you might be able to find the original if you poke around. ;)

TELOMERE

foind another pyramid

Worm Cult

Cloud 9

Composed in 2011, while riding the bus to visit, my then friend, current girlfriend, whom I've lovingly been referring to as Aircraft since my T9 screwed up her name in 2006.

Many of the sounds in the song, even melodic sounds, are heavily manipulated recordings of things such as bus ambiance, or poorly and clandestinely recorded human voice.

This will be released as a part of the album Placate Dreaming.

Lyrics:

Every face you see is hollow
Everyone who looks back at you
Just a husk with no real feelings
Just a place holder to make life full
No one here could care about you
No one here could ever hurt you
All alone when you're surrounded
All alone forever, but without peace

Everything is fake
Every face is painted on an empty skull
Everything is fake
Every mind is empty (stop, no control)
Every piece of cake
Every breath of air is just imaginary
Gulp down dreamt up drinks
Talk to your non-player family

How can I talk to anyone
Knowing that they will not not hear me
Shout into a blackened cavern
Reverberant discordance, bounce back to me
Shaking bewildered unnerving
Wondering why I complained before about being lonely
Overwhelm, placatory dreaming
Curious if there is anyone like me!

Everything is fake
Every friend you have is just a damn illusion
Everything is fake
No one here is real, it's just us
Humans: simply dolls
Crafted out of pieces of organic matter
Gods are scientists
Simply programmers making large computations
