One weekend in 1997, some friends and I formed a band to record an off the cuff 5 song EP by gathering around a cheap cassette recorder and mostly ad-libbing into it. Of those 5 songs, this is the only one that may be of any interest to people who weren't there at the time.

The band is Stark Raving Naked. This is my attempt at writing a cheesy love song for the Lovecraftian deity known as The King In Yellow.

Hastur In Love

I cannot play the guitar. Sadly, this doesn't stop me from occasionally recording songs. I created this misguided (mostly improvised) Donovan parody back in 2004. I'm weirdly proud of it, particularly the "blasphemous flute" bits.

English Major - King In Yellow

This is an original song about a rock 'n' roll vampire that segues into a Bauhaus parody I wrote with Steve Groom looking at Star Wars action figures at Wal-Mart at 1AM back in 1997. Spooky sound effects were achieved by scraping a ball point pen on a banjo. Zero musical talent was involved in crafting this song which is, hopefully, part of it's charm.

English Major - Nosferöcktu - Governor Tarkin's Dead

Further evidence that nobody should ever under any circumstances hand me a guitar. Or a rhyming dictionary.
Recorded in my living room in 2004 in the same Memorial Day session that produced that weird King In Yellow song. This one has a kitty at the end!

English Major - In Excess

Now it's time for a little braggadocio. This is from probably 2004.

English Major - Card Carrying Jedi Knight

English Major is my side project. My main squeeze is Mayhem Lettuce. Seek ye our strange sad spoken-word songs at linktr.ee/mayhemlettuce
