I definitely would like to do that, when I free up some time (this album should be done in a few more weeks).

I got one more song left to record for this new monster and I'm officially done. I can't wait for people to hear it. and it's nice that it seems like some people are actually anticipating it. Absence makes the heart grow fonder?

Anyway, I just did a 9 minute track that is definitely the most complex, challenging, abstract, and bizarre musical recording I've ever heard, let alone played on. It changes time, instrumentation, tuning, tempo, etc. on a dime, has about 80 different instruments playing, including some of Harry Partch's! I have spent the last 2 years writing this song and recording it was an epic bitch, trying to get everything to sound right. But it's all there.. sax and trumpet solos, a retarded ass broken drum machine that only keeps time properly when it wants to, a detuned fretless bass, detuned tremolo picked and finger tapped riffs, parts jumping from 7/4 to 4/4 to 3/4 to 7/4 to 4/4 to 19/11 in the course of a second or two, layers and layers of synths battling for supremacy, chopped up robot vocals, female vocals singing the same notes an acoustic guitar is playing, junk/trash can percussion, finger picking acoustic guitars, crazy organ lines. And that's just the first minute!

Oh, I didn't say it was good or anything! But it's definitely worth hearing if people are into complex and challenging music.

But yeah it just feels so good to finally record some of these songs, a few of which -- like I said -- I've been crafting for over 2 years now. Though obviously the album has overdubs (I played every instrument), the songs are played straight through on guitar or whatever, because I've played through them hundreds of times by myself. It's just an insane little album. I'm proud of it. I'll post it here when it's done.

Have you ever done anything under Scissor Shock that wasn't intending to be complex and challenging?

I'm not making any judgement, of course. I tend to prefer a gradual approach into that kind of music, like entering a hot bath.

Sure. I think I've done quite a few easy listening songs. I don't think most of the material is really that challenging; I'm trying to just do different things, trying to be "forward-thinking" I guess... But when I play it for other people, they certainly use words like "challenging" to describe it. Everyone I've played the new album for has just said "this is ridiculous. What the fuck?" Some people can't handle 90 different riffs a minute I guess.

The cd-r after 'kids candy delicious''s name escapes me right now but that had Jonny Merzbow Tearjerker on it and was smooth jazz throughout. Spread Ebola is also real easy on my ears.

Hm. No. Not at all. It's probably easier for someone to write off this stuff than to actually listen to it though. No biggy.

wow, the response to this album has been overwhelming! I'm glad everyone (on last.fm, facebook, blogs, and other boards) is digging this album so much!

Yes!

I've already been told by 3 people -- who have always been completely honest with me about my music -- that this is the best album of 2010. I'm so happy!

cover art by someone on this board!

actual copy coming very soon. The label guy loved it!!

Actually, the response has been so good that I'm actually happy for once.

lyrics for your illegal copy

psychic existentialist
aloha! psychic - existentialist
you destroy the culture that destroys culture... See More
you circumscribe -- BEAT ME IN THE HEAD!
the random displeasures of hypermediated self-conscious vomit sense -- DO THE WORLD A FAVOR!
definitions diminish as they depress the deconstructed narrative
dillute the crackpot ontology
after the car accident, i became a psychic existentialist

cat planet woman
take away what i lack
replace your god with a synth
i have no use for people
what do they hear?
psychic existentialist.

ghost/shit electronics
i have thrown myself onto the mantle of self-delusion and fallacy
it's no shock i hate myself, throw myself into the toilet
smarter! - joy!
subvert normality
replace my blood with codeine
forget the fuck -- what do you know of a dead body?
doing nothing for years with a gun in my mouth
in my hand is the rising sun
stomach acids eat the heart, eat the mind, fuck the face
vampires feed on one note simplicity schemes salivating in the ambient polaroid afterglow of an undilated fragmented lifeless pixelation, distilled dystopian nemesis neglect
...all the good pills
put a hole in my nose
permanently destroyed myself
in the shadows
they're a tool
i use to manipulate objects with,
to entertain myself
they're my best friends

black like the father's soul
black.. like the father's soul
hands of god made
award-winning movies
with shadow puppet iconography
cigarette surgically attached to my mouth
and my liver's made of cough syrup now

psychic existentialism
i visited the funeral
and
i laughed ha ha ha
PSYCHIC
EXI
STEN
TIA
LI
SM
i'm now relaxing near the fireplace
where the beauty queen was left defiled
as a mass of bones...
the funeral home is a good place to meet a psychic existentialist

knife in the head of all false abstract expressionists
better you read than think and say
past the painted house - gun in mouth
destroyed the face - body melt
peel back your lips and show me your fangs

bring back the guillotine
i was wondering
if you could, if you would
laugh at god
haaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
haaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
i know you could
i know you should!

man of the graveyard man
man of the graveyard man
[answering machine msg: hey jb. this is jb! i'm trying to get ahold of raymie. sorry if i got the wrong number. this is justin.]

tearing the wings off of a pigeon
i was pretending to fuck the plague
but i fell out of tune
wasn't good enough for you
showed you the mouth of hell
the gates of hell
i would have shown you the hole in the head of god
but i wasn't
good enough for you

That's all.

What values does scissor shock stand for? Is there a particular meaning to your lyrics? Do you like Charlie Brooker?

It stands for that.

I have this problem where every time I post something on this board, I feel like I have to go back and delete the "proof" that I wrote it, like on facebook.

As for the lyrics, they're about are about psychics, showbiz, chances, criminals, prisons results of the Boer War, pop, cruel jokes, paranoia and stimulants of all kinds, demons and more.

Thank you, Hayden. I met you before we were on this board together, I believe, and it was because you sent me a letter saying SUPER YUM SURGEON BOY was one of your favorite albums of all time. As a fan of mine damn near since the beginning, your praise means a lot to me.

I have to rely on my friends and fans to help me promote this stuff; strangely, I've noticed people on the noisefanatics board to be my biggest supporters; I get PM's all the time from people who have said they've been fans for years, which blows my mind, since it seems in a way like I have an invisible audience sometimes.

But yeah it's very difficult to promote ... avant-prog rock in opposition noise free jazz ambient synth exploration no wave... stuff. So, thank you, anyone that has helped me!!!
