How does one express the idea of being cursed in a dark techno track?  

(...and am I the only one who loses sleep over questions like this?  Probably.)  

Spooky Week (because there's no single word in the English language that means "ten days" and "Spooky Not Quite A Fortnight But Longer Than a Week" doesn't roll off the tongue) continues with this homage to a very nice and very evil man (who I walked past at a con not too long ago).  

If you follow modern professional wrestling, you know from that description (and the thumbnail) who I'm talking about...if you don't, you don't have to in order to enjoy this epic length dark techno track.  You'll understand all you need to know without having to Google anything.  

(You're welcome?)  

Going back to my original question, once I chose the title (a reference to the main sample), I had to find an answer...and, with a professionally trained wicked sense of humor...I found my answer early this morning (after having fallen asleep with my headphones on and the barebones of this track replaying over and over...influencing the various nightmares I suffered through until, while still asleep, I managed to both take the headphones off and stop FL Studio from torturing me with my own music simply by hitting the space bar).  

Modern dance music is, like stand-up comedy, all about tension and release.  In comedy, there is the set-up followed by the punchline.  In dance music, it is the build leading to the drop...rinse and repeat.  (When I was a club dj, songs might have one build and one drop...hell, some great dance songs didn't have EITHER...now, it feels like songs are ONLY builds and drops--well, in some EDM genres, at least.)  

BEWARE!  HERE THAR BE SPOYLERS!!!  

What could be more "cursed" than to have many builds...but no drops?  Each build just sort of sputters out and starts the next build.  It is the dance club equivalent of blue balls...or, more precisely (why?  Why is it important to be more precise than "blue balls"?) coitus interruptus.  

(Better coitus interruptus than no coitus, am I right?  Besides, I have a lot of good memories of being young and lucky--and coitus interruptus was as much as we could hope for.)  

(TMI?  Yeah, probably.)  

Even if there's a trollish prank at the heart of the creation of this track, I think the track still works--it goes hard, the energy is undeniable, and...much like the major star that this track is in homage to (and "an homage to"--love a language where you look up which is correct only to find out that BOTH are correct)...it doesn't take itself too seriously.  

...kind of like Interbay in general, really.  

Spooky or not, there's a brand new Interbay track dropping here on SoundCloud EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far!)...and they will (hopefully) be spooky for the rest of this month!  You should follow this page and be part of the madness until my heart explodes (yeah--if ever I miss a day posting an Interbay track, send somebody to Phantom Laboratories West to do a wellness check on me.  At least as long as I'm single--and at this point, I'm guessing death will come before that changes.)  

Considering that we're over 525 consecutive days dropping an Interbay track, it shouldn't be as hard as it is proving to be to get even 300 followers, right?  (Though, if you'd told me in May 2024 that I'd have ANY followers here on SoundCloud, I would have felt like I'd won the lottery--just without the money.)  

Please, listen to "You're All Cursed"!  Give it a like.  Consider reposting it, share it with friends, add it to a playlist, and drop a comment here if you have something to say (hopefully, it'll be nice.  Very nice even.  Very nice, very evil.)  

PS--Love that Danhausen.  (Ooops!  Well, guess I can't use this as an Interbay Trivia question.  No Bonus Interbay points for you, in case you knew already.  Sorry.)
