Cinematery - Shotguns And Dead Daisies (2009)

Sit back, pray to any god you think will listen, because you're about
to meet your maker. This is a selection of OLD Cinematery. This is
from the golden years of medicated music for the soul. Most of this
music was recorded by yelling over a keyboard pre-recorded to memory
banks into a tape recorder and then recorded to the computer via
microphone... Please excuse the quality. The name "Shotguns and Dead
Daisies" came from an old Christian magazine with lame lines
like,"You're going to see Shotguns and Dead Daisies' show? I heard
they eat live goldfish on stage." My personal guess is it was around
the time Marilyn Manson was making waves and parents were using scare
tactics to scare kids into thinking they were going to hell. - Skot, cofounder of Pha-Q Phono and the one who arranged and selected tracks for the album.

Yeah, the magazine was called "Breakaway", and they even castigated
Stryper for not being Christian enough. FUCKING STRYPER. I was given a
stack of them by my frequently Satanically panicked mom when I was in
high school. I read them just to have more reasons to hate
Christianity, and found that I wasn't disappointed. Ever since, I've
wanted to do something and call it "Shotguns And Dead Daisies" (named
after the fictitious, goldfish-sacrificing band of dumb,
devil-worshipping rock n' roll thugs described in the aforementioned
magazine during a story about temptation, in which a kid is invited to
see these guys play. SO, now this collection of years-old, virtually
unreleased Cinematery tracks takes that name. That's right, assholes.
You inspired me. - Kyle, cofounder of Pha-Q and the maniac who
did this "music"

01 - Intro
02 - Happy Song
I was living with my aunt and uncle after having been kicked to the
left by a houseful of Christian Identity Nazis, kicked to the right by
a compound full of Phish-loving neo-hippie assholes, and fucked in the
ass every which way by psychiatry. I was probably still going through
some withdrawals when I did this mockery of all those who were pissed
about the fact that I was so pissed off (some of whom are now more
doomsday than I was then, thanks to the current political and economic
situation). My little cousin was in the room with his dad through most
of this recording and innocently began singing along, though, for some
reason, this isn't audible in the recording.
03 - We're A Happy Family
This is my Ramones cover. Yep.
04 - Imaginary Love Song, Part Zero
This song sounds really deep, but it's not. It's about being lonely,
horny, and quite perverted.
05 - Assassin Of Youth
Sounds too much like Devo, but I like Devo, so whatever. I just wish I
wasn't so smug back then. I've made better statements since I've
realized the true extent to which everyday life can degrade me. Also,
it's a bit repetitive. I've done far better, but even far worse as
well.
06 - My Own Private Auschwitz
Here is one of the songs that caused a gay folkie icehead to refer to
my stuff as "death blues". The transfer is fuckin' awful, but, oh,
well. There are in fact far worse transfers of my stuff than this, at
least.
07 - Dead Sexy
I like to think up movie ideas (though it doesn't look like I'll ever
get to make them into movies - I'll hope I'm wrong). Anyway, this is
my electro-psychobilly rendition of one of my movie ideas, a
necrophiliac sex comedy.
08 - Play The Victim
This is my pop-punk song. While most people prefer pop-punk, I get a
nasty bile-gurgle in my stomach when I hear the term. So if you like
my not-so-pop-punk stuff, don't be alarmed. I dare say it's some of
the punkest fuckin' pop-punk you will hear.
09 - Daddy's Little Girl
Shedding the pop, speeding up the tempo, dirtying the vocals even
further; compare this hardcore shit with the pop-punk that precedes
it.
10 - Whips And Chains
Now, a complete 360 off into some dark, evil-sounding torture-tech. I
was more unfocused then than I am now. All of these elements have
become infused closer and closer (and have branched out into nastier
and nastier abysses) as time has gone on.
11 - Adolf Hitler, Car Salesman
Out of all the tracks featured here, this is the oldest (circa 2002).
Do keep in mind that I had been doing my stuff since middle school
(which was in the mid 1990s), and all of this once began with me
playing around with a keyboard in elementary school, trying to make my
own horror movie scores. Also, I was using a keyboard for this that
makes even the Casio I used on the others sound high-tech, during a
time of deadly serious medication withdrawal, because this came from
the year that I stopped taking my psychiatric meds. If you've heard
Banned In 31 Flavors' smash hit (heh heh) called "Let's Fuck", you may
notice that some keyboard parts here sound familiar. This is because
"Let's Fuck" came together around when I was fucking around with the
KeyTar during a BI31F session and tried seeing if I could still play
this. Oh, yeah, and one more thing: I know I was pronouncing "Adolf"
the wrong way. Oh, well.
