MUSIC HORROR STORIES
A Collection of Gruesome True Tales
as Told by Actual Innocent Victims Seeking a Career in the Music Business
They prowl the shadows seeking the unwary; they are bloodsuckers, human leeches, foul creatures who feast upon human flesh and suck out the souls hidden within.
Welcome to the music business.
For every ersatz cowboy, cloned boy band and millionaire diva in rehab, there's another thousand who remain unheard. Right now they're circling the crossroads, trapped with evil-smelling bands in smoky, decrepit vans, praying for the gilded gig to take them one step closer to platinum-land. Now, for the first time ever, Music Horror Stories... presents these music industry hopefuls as they confide their lurid, unabridged tales of the black holes they've encountered on the road to success.
Goodnight Kiss is a Hollywood-based music publishing firm notable for its unequivocal support of songwriters, artists and musicians. When the company's founder, Janet Fisher, first shared her own story ("Me "n' Motown") in her firm's far-reaching newsletter, others came forth with their similar stories. And in an old musical tradition -- like a host of demented guitarists trying to best one another in a dizzying battle of choruses -- and, "Oh yeah, I can top that" attitude turned up the volume. Before long, fifty-four other stories had bonded with Fisher's tale, ultimately unfolding into a book of mind-bending proportions.
To be sure, there is plenty of mind expansion in this volume; it's covered by the stories selected for the chapter titled "Intoxicating Rhythms." There are also sections dubbed "Choruses of Fear," The Road Goes On Forever, "Short Takes," "Songs in the Key of Screwed," and the beautifully self-explanatory, "Bookings in Hades."
Creating a career in the music business can be an uphill battle, but it makes for some damn entertaining reading. So whether you yourself are a musician, or if you like music, or God help you -- if your daughter or son has a fresh tattoo, purple hair and an unlikely piercing and is begging you for a guitar -- then you must experience Music Horror Stories... and remember: if the music is loud enough, no one will ever know if you're laughing or screaming.
