LYRICS
i played my part and took my leave
thinking maybe tonight i'll get some rest
but no, you weren't done, you needed some fun
what came next i suppose is anyone's guess
something wasn't right
i should've known
they took you in the night
you should've known
there was no other way
searching scripts for crucial clues
retracing your steps
assumptions between
something forgot
there's holes in the plot
i've got questions, confessions
it's time to come clean
something wasn't right
i should've known
took you in the night
you should've known
there was no other way
the truth is out and i'm somewhat to blame
there are no accidents, no mistakes
took you in the night
i should've known
did you put up a fight?
you should've known
that something wasn't right
i should've known
there was no other way

Michael Korb, from Long Island, New York, performs an acoustic version of "Circles," a track from his debut album, GHOSTS. Mike played two songs during this video session -- the other was a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." We choose to make the video simple -- it consists of a direct live performance using only one floodlight (which we found in Mike's garage), and there are no edits. Some noise reduction and reverb were applied to the original recording, which was from the camera's condenser mic. Korb is currently working on his next album, SLEEPWALKER.

LYRICS
ive made up my mind again and im leaving this place
'cause every time i turn around the room changes shape
and theres talk of a spirit that lives in this town
hiding behind a fishnet shroud
manakins keeping tabs on me
the paranoia wont let me sleep
im making sense of the things i see
or am i running in circles
in my head again
take a walk down the smoky steps and turn around
climb back up the branches and dont look down
i want to tell you everything and how i feel
but they say youre not even real
the sirens upon a floating veil
showing the meat that theyve got for sale
between her legs is a devils tail
am i running in circles
i know ive been here
and im coming to realize ive been paralyzed
its becoming clear
find me a bag to pack
ive fallen off the track
everyones waiting while im slowly fading
from my distraction
losing my traction
in a place with no sun
ive got some time to kill but not enough time until something takes me out
come on i just want someone
and down the hazy hills i go awake and aware
hope to see you there
ive been running in circles
i could swear ive been here
and im coming to realize ive been paralyzed
its becoming clear
come on i just want someone

Long Island's Michael Korb does an acoustic version of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. Korb obviously admires Jeff Buckley's interpretation of the song, but succeeds in making this quiet, powerful version his own.
Driven by economic necessity, we originally challenged ourselves to keep the video simple, but ultimately concluded that the song might also be best served by simply documenting Korb's hypnotic, unadorned performance. The camera was borrowed. Bedsheets were used to cover up windows to darken the room. We found a single small flood in Mike's garage and aimed it up from the floor to cast shadows. There's no editing, aside from some simple filters and the fade in/out. The sound wasn't even put through a mixing board -- it was recorded by the camcorder's condenser mic with only some noise reduction applied later.
Controlled Bleeding is an experimental group that originally formed in Boston around 1978 by Paul Lemos, Jack Salerno and Dave Southerland. Later, returning to Massapequa, New York, Lemos joined forces with old school chums, Gary Pecorino and Tony Meola in the first recorded version of the band, creating instrumental music that has been described as a collision between The Ramones and Mahavishnu Orchestra.
Pecorino and Lemos would soon part ways due to musical differences over the presence of the three hundred pound scat singing eccentric that is Joe Papa. (Papa answered an ad for a singer in a local music paper, since the group was getting frustrated by the lack of response to their instrumental exercises). With the addition of Chris Moriarty on drums and a few other players, the band continued briefly, but soon imploded after their first disastrous show with the new expanded line up.
Frustrated working with others, Lemos soon started venting his inner poisons through solo experiments in pure screaming cacophony, first documented on the SWALLOWING SCRAP METAL cassette compilation issued in 1982. After receiving encouraging response to these first noise experiments, Lemos recruited Moriarty and Papa once more and soon embarked on a violent creative course that resulted in cassette releases on early noise labels like Broken Flag, XXX, and Swinging Axe. The band's classic first album, KNEES AND BONES which now stands as one of the earliest documents of American power electronics, was issued in 1983.
Through the course of the next few years, the group would issue a number of varied releases, moving away from pure noise into more textural areas. Albums like BODY SAMPLES, CURD, SONGS FROM THE DRAIN, and BETWEEN TIDES capture the group's raw, increasingly sophisticated aesthetic, blending elements of noise, prog rock, sacred music and musique concrete into something that was very much their own.
The band's sound is confusingly varied from album to album and has contained elements of dub, free jazz, noise, prog, sacred music, dark ambient, classical and music concrete. "Bees (Parts 1 - 6)," a collection of six short pieces combining spastic, experimental jazz with head-splitting noise, is included on BROKEN OUT AND WHITE AS FUCK, due out in 2009.

"THAT'S ALL" LYRICS
It all started late on a Saturday night
and they kicked it right off with a bang!
Confusion, corruption and ten other maladies
put them right out on the edge
The regular Army abandoned their barracks
and burned them right down to the ground
The cheering grew louder, they touched off the powder
and man what a thunderous sound!
[chorus]
Right!
Right!
Right!
That’s all!
Now little Lolita had honey much sweeter
than any ten bees around!
A sweet little thing that proceeded to fling
with a prince now ascending the throne
Things would have been fine less three barrels of wine
when he smacked her and told her “Go Down”
He treated her mean, he proceeded to scream,
when she bit off his fucking crown!
[chorus]
And now we're off to sunny Spain, to the bullfights
Where the matadors are worshipped by beautiful women
This is the scene where the bull circles ‘round behind the matador
And gores him in the ass.
A favorite of the crowd!
We're off to the races in wonderful places
like bullfights in old Madrid
OLE!
Where up in the stands all the cheering is grand
and the spectacle ‘bout to begin
TORO!
Sweet kisses will fly from the beautiful girls
who admire the men in the ring
TEQUILA!
The matador thrashed! As the bull gored his ass
and the crowd all began to scream!
RIGHT!
[chorus]
Sex God Chant was the first track on Sea Monster's 1986 debut EP, titled EPISODE 1: LIQUID LUNCH OR RAPTURE OF THE DEEP. The video was shot at 5am by the band and friends, who brought power into an abandoned building via generator. Sex God Chant was featured on the "Night Flight" music video program shortly thereafter. The Liquid Lunch EP is included on the Winged Disk Records compilation SOMETHING IN THE WATER: THE SECRET HISTORY OF LONG ISLAND PUNK.
Since the "Sex God Chant" video, Sea Monster has remained active, releasing several EPs, seven inches and albums. The band's latest full-length, on Winged Disk Records, is titled LIVIN' ON LOVE...AND OTHER NOTES FROM THE KILLING FLOOR.
