Monster Music Monday: Blank Frank

Brian Eno * Blank Frank * 1973

Blank Frank is the messenger of your doom and your destruction
Yes, he is the one who will set you up as nothing
And he is one who will look at you sideways
His particular skill is leaving bombs in people’s driveways.

Blank Frank has a memory that’s as cold as an iceberg
The only time he speaks is in incomprenesible proverbs
Blank Frank is the siren, he’s the air-raid, he’s the crater
He’s on the menu, on the table, he’s the knife and he’s the waiter.

Monster Music Monday – Hellraiser Theme

Coil * Hellraiser Theme * 1988

Coil was asked to submit music for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser movie. Their music wasn’t chosen, but the band decided to release the album. It is so very ’80s.

Monster Music Monday: Wandering Star

Portishead * Wandering Star * 1994

Please could you stay awhile to share my grief
For its such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed, upon their prey

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

Doubled up inside
Take awhile to shed my grief
(always) doubled up inside
Taunted, cruel

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

... the attic, a vast raftered length lighted only by small blinking windows in the gable ends, and filled with a massed wreckage of chests, chairs, and spinning-wheels which infinite years of deposit had shrouded and festooned into monstrous and hellish shapes.
