YOURS (by) YOURS



A new musician on Deep Madder Recordings brings nine new songs comprising our fourth musical release. It evokes fluorescent lights rising amidst fog machines in a castle. It is inspired by the 80s and, inexplicably, the weird aesthetic and recollected feelings of dark 90s computer games (like Doom or Hexen). It was composed between July 2009 and July 2010 in the Annex. To get one, please appeal to either Deep Madder editor or leave a comment here.

“Why are we here? And why is it so terrible?”

telling Autofill

I was writing an e-mail just now. I started to type the subject/title with the letter F, at which point the auto-fill function proposed the word “Fuck.” I suppose I've begun one e-mail too many with said subject, not unlike my co-editor (who, coincidentally, noted this recently). This incident demonstrates how common this subject is in e-mails between us.

The Christening of D.M.

I just discovered the instant messaging transmission between myself and Christopher from 16 January 2007 in which the name Deep Madder was decided on (in which “Valley Man” is my inexplicable I.M. pseudonym [Remember: We were only 22 years old]).
Valley Man says: (1:55:38 PM)
hey i was using some pastels last night, and i noticed one colour called Deep Madder / and that was one of the best sounding names ever. / so i wanna make a band called that, or a record label or something
Chris says: (1:56:01 PM)
ha, yeah, seriously. it reminds me of alice through the looking glass or whatever / maybe we should name our record label that
Valley Man says: (1:56:21 PM)
i agree / plus, it sounds like Deep Matter, but with a twist of 'madness'. not to mention it makes me think of 'murder'. ha, maybe it's too dark / plus, the pastel colour was red
[. . .]
Chris says: (1:57:54 PM)
yeah, i think we should name our label that
Valley Man says: (1:58:01 PM)
yeah me too. great / plus, i wanted our label name to be three syllables, so it's great.
Chris says: (1:58:35 PM)
yeah, I really like that name actually. it's perfect.

Early Hints of the D.M. Anthology Aesthetic

“holy shite, imagine finishing a short story/tiny novel? hopefully i'll at least do a few of those someday, if not write novels. fuck, that would be amazing.[ ]not to mention publishing!! i'd make a black cover, and print it all on brown recycled paper, and the cover would be plainer than hell itself[. ]with no fancy photos or any shit like that which is so popular these days[. ]plus, i'd have no copyright symbol inside. i can't wait”

A sneak peek...

















...into the Deep Madder Monthly creation process. Perhaps this can tide our readers over until the oft-delayed November and December issues are finally released.
