Two More Songs I Composed For ‘Playing Dead’!

Hey fiends,

Since this week was the premier of the first two episode of a new web series called ‘Playing Dead’ that I scored, I’ve decided to post up two more short snippets of music.

The first is the short opening credits song called ‘The Art Of Playing Dead’. This is only a small piece of a much longer song that will someday be unearthed.

The second song is a piece I wrote for episode II and is entitled ‘Even Death Knows You’re Lying”.

Thanks so much for checking out the web series and please tell all your friends.

Stay weird,
~Curtis Rx

Ps. I’m also posting these up on my Myspace in case anybody wants to add them on their page.

Authorities say the intoxicated woman entered the premise through the unlocked front door while on her daily mail delivery route. She was taken to the county jail and has been placed on unpaid leave.

Fifty miles
Deep within the woods

Crisp mountain air
Not a cloud in the sky
Nor a single care

Tired Of Your Boring, Generic Pillows?

Hey fiends,

Check out these two strange and fantastic pillows. The first was created by an artist named Keetra Dean Dixon and was created to look like a puddle of blood after a headshot.

At Least Somebody Was Warm!

At Least Somebody Was Warm!In Connecticut, A 28-year-old woman decided to make her two children wait in a car during freezing winter weather while she made to a stop at the tanning booth to indulge in some pampering. The 3-year-old and 1-year-old sat in the car without the aid of a heater for nearly 20 minutes as the temperature dropped to 12 degrees with a subzero windchill. The woman told police that she was going on vacation and felt that getting a tan was a priority. She has been charged with child neglect and reckless endangerment. So much for that vacation, a smooth tan looks even better behind bars.

If They Only Had A Brain!

Wait, You Heard Everything?In New Mexico, a grieving family got the shock of their lives when they brought home the personal effects of their deceased mother and discovered that her brain was also included with the items. Much too distraught to immediately sift through the items, the family put the bag aside, but 24 hours later noticed a horrible smell emanating from it. That’s when they realized the funeral home’s gruesome mix-up. As sometimes is the case with the victims of violent crashes, it is common practice to ship the brain inside of a bag, rather than try to reinsert it into the damaged head, but it never should have been sent home with the family. A negligence investigation has been launched and the family has filed a lawsuit.

Another Serial Stylist Has Been Brought To Justice!

Another Serial Stylist Has Been Brought To Justice!In Oregon, a 22-year-old man has been charged with harassment and robbery after he was caught trying to steal snippets of hair from the other passengers on the bus he was riding across town. The man sat behind an unsuspecting woman and began to procure clippings of her hair, but the bus driver was able to stop him and he was taken into custody. A spokesperson for the bus company said that they have received at least 3 other complaints of strange hair assaults in the recent months and one incident that involved a victims hair being glued. It is unknown whether or not the man is also involved in these other hair related incidents, but police have launched an investigation. At least for now, coifs and manes can rest soundly knowing that another serial stylist has been sent to the slammer.

The time has come to state the things we want to achieve in the coming year, so here it goes. My new year’s resolution is to finish all the strange little projects I have lying around. It’s going to be a massive amount of work, but here is what I will get done this year.

  1. Learn how to move objects with my mind.
  2. Release the musical side project I’m recording in January.
  3. Find the abominable snowman.
  4. Finish writing the next Creature Feature album.
  5. Find out why my reanimation serum fails after only 24 hours.
  6. Finish my book of poems entitled “101 Ways To Die”.
  7. Drink more coffee.
  8. Finish the last 100 pages of a fiction novella I’ve been working on.
  9. Challenge the alligator I wrestled last year to a rematch.
  10. Unearth the hidden cache of gold doubloons marked on the tattered map I discovered in an old sailing book.

If you have a minute to spare, please leave a comment on this post and let me know what your new year’s resolutions are.

Hope all is well,
~Curtis Rx

Ps. If I can find the time, I’d also like to train falcons to deliver coded messages for me so I can save some money on my phone bill and because message by falcon is so much cooler than a text.

Cooking Meth Is Really Hard Work!

Snakes, Why Did It Have To Be Snakes?

Snakes, Why Did It Have To Be Snakes?In Utah, emergency vehicles were called to the scene of trailer fire and quickly realized that they had much more to fear than just the flames themselves. Upon their arrival, they were told by the owner that 19 pet pythons lived in the trailer with him and needed to be rescued. All parties involved did everything in their ability to make sure all the snakes escaped unharmed, even resorting to CPR with the aid of a small plastic pipe. Unfortunately, only 11 out of the 19 pythons survived. It was determined that the accidental fire was caused by a faulty heat lamp in the one of the snake’s cages.
