INQUIRE WITHIN THIS PAPYRUS

I guess people complained so I've, as an underground composer, truly seen censorship first hand. Sometimes I censor myself, sometimes labels who seemed cool enough at the time feel impelled to shut me down. For example, one of the blithest and most generic labels and genres for what I'm sure any punk musician out there is loathe to book for any show THEY'D want to promote- breakcore - decided to do the whole electronica e thug "WE WILL SHUT YOU DOWN" BS for my e headache releases just for the use of hatespeech on my Tweenstar LP.
I literally had some pissant producer scum from one of the most well known labels in their little pathetic wanna be rawkish but in fact definitively elitist ravemusic scene known as "Breakcore" tattle tale around to labels I had released on in order to shut me down and ban my albums!
Yeah thanks for the years of great music Peace Off Records! wow~
When they gave me a hard time via IM I responded "I listen to punk! I don't even fucking make nor enjoy breakcore! Have a sausage party circle jerk to squarepusher for all I care ya'll fucking discoteq chunks of yankee breaksplooge"
I don't think of what I make to really be electronica tbh. I mean- yes, I compose/juxtapose it all with a non linear sequencer so its not exactly live rock (which is hard as fuck to actually perform + I respect true pop punk performers far more than all the little darkstep + edm savants out there.), but my Emo Headache stuff rarely if ever utilizes soft-synths, vst's or any plug-ins whatsoever - plus, I do actually sing original vocals and play rhythm guitar on some tracks.
I only include this to be honest about where I and my heroes the offspring, johnny ramone or ac/dc etc. originated-
on the streets of the good ole' USA… God bless her!
I'm considered by those familiar with my notoriety globally to be a bad person.
I am.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've got red laces I earned from a gutter fight defending my punk girl at a dive in downtown Raleigh and a bikers jacket that I wear, y'know, during the daytime or whatever, but just 'cause I'm making punk mashups that don't fit to yr corporatized little uber genre of safe n friendly breakcore (which has always been the- "oh we're the punk form of electronica'" wannabe-punk-genre for decades before dubstep took the #1 poseur mantle) and samples shit that's not pc or sounds unconventional or lo fi or whatever doesn't mean you should waste yr time trying to fight me and censor my musical creations!
~What kind of instinct is that?
~The instinct to censor others' works?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
"I had been developing one of my most intensely worked on albums made so far in my discography - Tweenstar LP [my 5th full length]. I had been bouncing noise through a tube amplifier and recording to regular cassette tape, which I would then bury in the dirt and mud and gunk for several days. Upon listening to the dug up recording on cassette- I knew with this album my organic noise genre influenced style could offer the punk rock scene a sound that it has really always been keen too- that is, Experimental noise…
Tweenstar LP is just track after track of radio disney tween punk mixed and mangled with R rated hate speech accompanied by fanned blasts of indeterminate noise n' gabber kicks n' punk drum bridges to give the radio disney tween base an ironic hardcore bite to what is really everything we love about good pop punk (r'n'b' bubblegum chords played distorted and fast) yet engineered in some expensive multi-million dollar studio for infants, children and pre-teens…
ergo ipso EVIL RADIO DISNEY RELIKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO, I'm sending the label owner in the UK these tracks as I'm finishing them and you could tell he was really on que with the implicit humor of the juxtaposition. I thought of myself of being like Johnny Ramone or Dee Dee Ramone when they tried to get Ramones' hit single "I'm a Nazi Baby" released on Sire back in the heyday of punk.
One problem…
It went too far, and the label censored the lyrics and censored the title of potentially one of the funniest and most hardcore of hardcore Ramones' tracks of all time which became "Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World".
My label, LEGS-NET UK was at that time pretty racy with lots of pro-satan samples, wild horror sampling, and extratone so hardcore it turns Drum n Bass ravers' salty drum beat into dust.
Yet even being so extreme, Neil @ Legs Akimbo had to inform me that he couldn't release my one track Sig Heil Tween Style (hear it @ https://soundcloud.com/nut-me-off/emo-headache-sig-heil-tween) which juxtaposed 'Hannah Montana' Vocals with Ramones' Drums n' Hardcore Kicks followed by a long segment at the end juxing a speech Hitler gave about the Jew problem with the soundtrack to the indy film "Baracka" and D-Horror film "Wolfen 3" providing the aural texture for the hate speech.
Funny? No?
Either way,
I, an Scotch-Irish-Anglo American in the US just trying to do something new with bubblegum and degenerate content for fun and silliness, was censored in a near identical way that had happened to the Ramones' "I'm A Nazi Baby" single.
That was the moment that I realized that I'm just like Johnny.
Johnny started a movement, and all he needed was to get his band's foot in the door to achieve superstardom. That's how good he was."
That's how I feel about my Emo Headache compositions and free emo/pop-punk.
It's not exactly like these guys got the promotion they deserved and probz earned little substantial wealth off of creating songs that entire generations of punks identify with and hold in their hearts!!! Take virtually any indie emo band!
It ain't exactly the musical brand that's gonna get you rich frankly….

no matter how rat infested
no matter how scene the clientele
no matter how against the odds an uncanny dj set of original compositions played out live might seem for a given show!
Just remember the last time you went to a venue, psyched to really rock. You get there and all of a sudden- DAMNIT RANDOM SHITTY SHIT, LIMP DICK FAIL! Or the bands are switching gear and the midtro music is so fucking gay it ruins the vibe of the next act (been there)? Or the worst, when everyone's chilling after the bands have played, "no more live music folks, but plenty of beer left for sale!" and the venue puts on fucking bruce springsteen crap or something to get rid of the drunks…
