I will contain all updates and discussion of my ongoing project/band Nursing Home in this thread from now moving forward.
Nursing Home is not yet a live entity, but the project is getting really active again. Some things on the horizon:
- the ‘Halloween Freaks’ EP is getting a proper CD release. It will be remastered (at Toot/Akbar’s suggestion) with a remaster of an old track “Automaton” thrown in as a bonus. It will also come optionally with a copy of ‘Every Day is Halloween II’, a compilation of Halloween themed Noise/Experimetnal/Dark Ambient that I put together 2 years ago. The compilation includes 5 Nursing Home tracks.
‘Halloween Freaks’ is the perfect accompaniment to the Halloween holiday season with both a fun/spooky/campy side and a dark meditative/ritualistic side. The material ranges from Dark Ambient/Experimental soundscapery (but much more immediate, percussive and engaging than, say, Lustmord soundscapes) to Industrial punk stomp and funky pop (the title track).
You can preview 2 of the songs from the EP, “Trick or Treat” and “Halloween Freaks”, and 2 songs from the compilation “Black Manson” and “Dungeon Corridor” now at:

More updates on this to come this week…
Nursing Home is back this year for Halloween. New EP ‘Halloween Freaks’ is being released and will be sold in a package deal with the ‘Every Day is Halloween II’ Noise/Experimental compilation from 2008 (or the BLACKBOMBS ‘Arachnid National Anthems’ EP depending on what you prefer)
‘Halloween Freaks’ is a 5 song EP of all original Nursing Home material recorded on Halloween night 2009 that ranges from dark Experimental/Industrial instrumentals to demented children’s pop with a sinister twist. It showcases the fun and campy side of Halloween and also the dark pitch black (and orange) undertones.
We have been obsessed for years with capturing the very essence of Halloween in music. From the opening track “Stroke of Midnight” with ultra detuned bass stabs, lighting bolts and a conch shell horn blowing the black tone of hell into the eerie green mist to the dark twisted playful psychedelia of the title track, this is music for cheesy haunted houses and ritual murder alike.
Also features bonus track “Automaton” [remastered] from the original 2007 ‘Every Day is Halloween’ compilation. Comes in a cardboard sleeve packaged with Halloween candy and bonus copy of the ‘Every Day is Halloween II’ compilation from 2008.

Careful, with that video you’re going to get some Godflesh fans trying to get your phone number and asking if they can come over and take a bite.

Does poop actually taste like it smells? Could you tell that it was last nights pizza? Like, is there a taste there that doesn’t go with the smell? While disgusting it could be even worse if its someone elses poop.
Did you actually ingest it or just put it your mouth and savor the flavor? I think with out a doubt void should be the only one on here that can say that something tastes like shit and know what he’s talking about. You no longer have to worry about cannibalistic jews and muslims!
Void hasn’t logged in since Nov 4th.
you think he’s in the hospital with cholera or typhus?

Shit!
I am alive still unfortunately.
UPDATE:
We filmed a music video for the song “City on a Hill” from the forthcoming self-titled Nursing Home album.
I just finished mixing the song and it will appear as Nursing Home’s submission for the upcoming prongs compilation.
Here is a still image from the shoot:

Do you hate yourself? Is that why you are eating poop?
I knew it had to be something other than hunger. I can’t imagine anyone being that hungry. Although if it is, I’m sure I could mail you some cup o’ noodles, dude, just ask a brother!
Hey, how come you didn’t answer my questions? I was serious.
Texture?
Taste? all of the that…
Is this your first time munching the log?
If not, does it taste different each time?
Do you prefer a harder ear of corn or a softer more delicate stalk?
When did you realize you had a taste for the kaviar?
Does your mouth start to water when someone around you farts?
Give us the scoop on the poop!

I bet it tastes like crap.
I bet it tastes like crap.
right, but what does crap actually taste like? and you can’t say “candy corn!” cause that doesn’t actually come from an asshole… unless you’ve eaten it first, but then it must taste different, right? Void, I think we need a ruling on this!!!

My wife once proposed a great philosophical debate that we ponder for hours and I often try to engage others to get to a deeper understanding of their innermost psyche.
The question is . . . . . “Would you rather eat Curry that tastes like Poo, or Poo that tastes like Curry?”

Curry, for sure! less bacteria, so less chance of getting sick. but I’ve never had curry before so I really don’t know what I’m getting into.
Although I’m pretty much down to eat anything as long as it tastes good. So maybe it’s better I don’t know what poop tastes like, cause if I know I can have that bacon ultimate cheeseburger a second time without having to pay for it, that may be a bad thing because my wife and friends may not understand. I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to get away with that whole “recycling” angle.

Curry is awesome. It is the exact opposite of eating poop. Unless the curry tastes like poop. Or your poop tastes like curry. This is where the lines blur and life as we know it starts to lose meaning as we descend into madness.
