Malachy Shavas: Dream Diary

The first in an occassional series of transcriptions from the diary of former mob doctor and internet sensation/disgrace Malachy Shavas. This week Shavas awakens shuddering from a dream involving the detestable James Corden and the apparently innocent ghost of Gerry Rafferty.

"...God Gerry Rarrerty scorching to be seen. A herald in the native of transport, then evangelising, a chorus to the limits of the genre. After a gerry rabberty drank of Jams C0ordin I asked her for the code equalization of her boobs from elastic to the sides. I wiped it to coexist with my bering and neighboring my blame ballroom. Jammmmes Cardin sucked alternative - it was a mouth.
I should nation arched to handset for the antarctica - abstractly I was petrified with fear. God gerry rarity scorching be seen. Let's likewise whisper these keys 1 to 8 optimism with c. Although the g3rry raff3rty is an innocent operator in this mode, the foam melancholy (and cd text/dashboard displays in sought applications) bars boxer id3 empowerment of the slow Corden, Jam3s song. Jerry Rapherty. James Courden. Jams. Gerry.

I stood up resonating her panties and hatching my pants. Still, tired of talking cello drawbacks as well. I stirred triumphantly her hardy her sneak her scouring flash the disney cock. I knelt in a dangerous age and multiplex my teeth. Laura's octet were reliant on her convertible girl's eighty bottom. Control programs: is illegal nightcap.
Thank you, mrs. chaffey."

Family Taboo I: Surge

In the summer of 2010 I packed my guitars away and set about writing and recording with two synthesisers, a drum machine, a microphone and a variety of metal containers and glass. The sessions ran from May to August yielding a number of pieces ranging in style and tone, unabashedly influenced by the likes of Krzysztof Penderecki, Nurse With Wound, Wolf Eyes, Broadcast, early Human League, some artists from the DFA roster, Marc Willkinson's score for Blood On Satan's Claw, and Kid A-era Radiohead.
These recordings have been split into several EPs and will be released as digital downloads over the coming 12 months, eventually to be issued together on one collection which will include collaborations, and other material not featured on the initial downloads.
The first release of this intended series is Surge, a 3 track EP available for download from 01/02/2011. Details are as follows:

Family Taboo - I: Surge

01 Green Laser
A gateway track: metallic, serrated synth fun meets lo-fi confection, potentially useful in luring ‘friends’ who suspect they’re being spammed and/or think I’m a wretched deviant when I suggest in online scenarios that they ’like’ Family Taboo, a name which is google-search kryptonite.

02 New Ruins
A little bit more in line with my usual predilections. A multi-movement piece, with each section becoming more alienated from its predecessor. Ritualistic in tone and inspired in part by my hometown’s first shopping center, multi-storey car park, frequently empty retail units and the galvanising effect on its people of finally having the town’s inaugural escalator, all circa 2006.

03 Little Black Heart
Family Taboo’s contribution to the idea of a fizzy summer pop song. I’ll do one of these again in the future only next time I’ll wipe the smirk off my face.

Early Birds

Coming in 2011: Early Birds - 12 new songs by Family Taboo. More details to follow.
