Courtney Love - I'll do Anything [PV/MV]
I'll do anything.........I'll outdo you cos you'll do anything! Dark video but appropriate - possible dangers of life on the edge! xxx
Self Portraits....
I love to do self portraits, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo started that trend! Although she was not the best painter in the world (not being one to judge as I cannot draw a damn thing, just photo, write, and play music) I like what she stood for, seeing herself as a work of art. Same reason I like Courtney Love....and the artist Nan Goldin! Check out Nan Goldin, and if you don't I will upload her pics here soon if I can anyway!
Happy new year all! xxxxxx

Lou Reed - Caroline Says Pt. II
A personal song for me...........or at least one I relate to well! There was an earlier Velvet Underground song called 'Stephanie Says' with a slightly different theme but very similiar melody and a similiar chorus 'They all call her Alaska.....'.

Music, Thoughts etc.
I've wondered lately about where this blog is going and who will relate to my previous rants on here in regards to certain subcultures.
The intention of starting this blog was for me to write about arts and music, but save for posting a few videos of stuff I like I haven't written much about it really. Perhaps it's time to start.
I did think of posting my own lyrics and chords etc on here but I decided not to because of copyright issues, and the fact that I don't want anyone performing them. I don't want to write stuff for other people to perform. Whether or not I'm a good lyricist is besides the point, I don't do it for love or money. If anyone's gonna perform what I write it's gonna be me. I haven't uploaded anything of myself because I don't do guitar solos (I'm not really good enough for that) and I don't have a band at the moment, so I'm just networking at the moment. Where it is going to go is another question -but it is a lot harder to get anywhere with music than one assumes, even if you can play your instrument up to scratch. Bands form and break all the time, sometimes due to differences in taste, other times due to personal issues. There is little democracy in a rock band, normally it is one person calling the shots, whatever good intentions one starts out with. I know a few professional musicians who are pretty much broke and have not got anywhere, sometimes through their own personal shortcomings (over-confidence or a lack of it) or simply through bad luck.
Anyway, if anyone has looked at my other blog as well as this one they'll know I've had issues to contend with. The other blog was initially about politics and current affairs, but recently it became personal (and this one was supposed to be the 'personal' one for my own musings). I have to admit though, to my shame, that I haven't really been following current affairs that much, I've had my own stuff to contend with lately. Music is therapeutic in that sense - helps me get some of that shit off my chest. Even if my lyrics are a bit dark and intense at times - titles such as 'Dirt', 'Death Leaves', 'Loaded Gun', 'Snow White' etc might give you an inclination as to my themes. I can't really give it a label, but a lot of my inspiration lies in Velvet Underground, punk rock and the grunge scene. Anger isn't always bad - it can be channelled constructively. Whatever all that grief cost me it at least inspired some music and lyrics. One day soon they will be on MySpace once I get myself a percussionist and a bass player, along with someone to play some lead guitar.
Or should I dream on?
Because what does piss me off big time is the arrogance of some men with guitars. Every musician has their own style- but I have had more than one man (each with his own distinctive style) try to tell me that theirs is the 'right way' of playing and that most rhythms are like theirs. To hell with that. I know it not to be true. It's harder to find female musicians to play with because there are too many arrogant men who believe, consciously or not, that music is a male thing and that men can play guitars better than women. I have even heard some women repeat that view as though it were a matter of fact. Ok, so add together all the famous musicians and most of them are men, for sure. But doesn't this have something to do with the fact that more men have played musical instruments for longer and composed music for far longer? And why is this? Perhaps because we have lived in a male dominated society for centuries?
The men who have this attitude rarely get anywhere because their heads are too far shoved up where the sun fails to shine, whether they have any talent or not. Some men treat their instruments like some do their cars - treat them as extensions of their egos or as they would an objectified lover. Look at the way a man treats his guitar (or his car for that matter) and you may get an inclination of how he treats women. I knew a man who bashed the hell out of his instrument - and he even once threw my acoustic guitar out of his vehicle, and tried to throw me out with it. And surprise - he was one such musician with the ego problem described above. The drawbacks of his attitude - sexism as well as arrogance - outweighed the benefits of his musical talent, despite the fact he was not a talentless musician.
I don't deny that men with guitars can be a turn on for me - but in a sense I'm glad that the man I'm seeing now doesn't play guitar. Because I don't have to put up someone around me constantly telling me what music I should or shouldn't play, that my music is shit, and listen to constant derogatory remarks about female musicians. Oh, and he treats his car pretty well too.

White Light, White Heat........
Recruiting song for 'White Light White Heat Foundation' described in my earlier 'Kill all Hippies' post

Air Mileage
In fact - I've a great idea for the issue of air fuel consumption - one that has already been suggested by some of our dear environmental friends but it's long overdue! Let's go back to the good old days - now! Let us once again make air travel a luxury only for the privileged view, the very rich. That way the huddled masses and the great unwashed will not create eyesores at airports nor will the elite be forced to rub shoulders with them as they pass them on the steps of the plane. Every hot foreign beach will be uncontaminated, no more working class men with tattoos or beer cans nor women in white stilettos! Let the rich reclaim every hot spot in the world, and let the masses be satisfied as they once were with eating fish and chaps on British beaches - where they belong!
Hippy-Crites
Just another post on my latest pet hate before I leave it alone and move on.
I notice that another favourite pastime of self righteous arrogant hippies is to lecture others on environmentalism, and force their Western middle class guilt on others. And you know what? They aint got no right at all. They are as guilty as anyone - in fact far guiltier than the people they sneer on who live in cities and live on cheap food and takeaways.
How do they get to their exotic backpacking destinations? However far the human race had evolved, I have heard no news that it's more 'enlightened' members have grown wings. Therefore, I must assume they catch a plane like everyone else. Yet, these same people have the nerve to lecture others for booking.....cheap air flights! Oh well, ok if you are a spoilt rich kid used to buying first class tickets to hot destinations. Ok, then, to look down on those less fortunate and demonise them for doing, um, the same thing you do - but in fact using less air mileage because you can only afford a short fuel flight to some Southern European destination anyway? I got sick to death of that George Monbiot writing in the Guardian on that very subject, and was pleased when somebody wrote in and pointed out his own consumption of air fuel.
Lets see what benefits hippies bring to the places they visit....
Now, I know that neither of the first two pieces are concerned directly with hippies, ok. But who made both those places tourist hot spots in the first place? Thai beaches are almost ruined by Western tourism, and Goa is not far off. First come the backpackers, then come the nightclubs, fast food joints (to accomodate their partying) hotels, and bang - you have a new exotic destination. Better idea, let's build a new airport there as well to make it a more convenient spot for tourists to flock to!! Most beach resorts destroyed by tourism were tranquil areas once. Now they are nightmares of discarded rubber, paper (and God knows what other debris), beer cans, and 24-7 noise.
The laws described in the second article may seem a little harsh - but why did it come to that? Perhaps it may have had something to do with the locals getting fed up of having their ears blasted with loud techno 24-7 and their beaches turned into non stop discos or raves? I doubt the locals would see so quickly the link between rave culture and spirituality as modern hippies are quick to, but let's leave that for now.
Now, I'm not one to lecture anybody about noise - I am probably one of the worst culprits. Trance (as is often played on those beaches) is not my thing, but I am not averse to some kinds of techno, and of course I love to play loud rock music. But then I don't tell people how trendy it is to catch long haul air flights and start parties on exotic beaches.
I am no killjoy - but those who preach against consumption of air fuel and noise pollution are often among the worst culprits for adding to it. Please, mote and beam. Or look in the mirror.
Another thing that locals (especially if they are poor) in these destinations probably get sick of is being treated either as objects of pity or as curiosities by Western tourists.
Now, I am not averse to visiting exotic destinations myself (when I have the air fare, which is not very often) but there is nothing wrong with having a little -um- awareness? In my case it's more a question of the feelings of the locals rather than air mileage, but that depends on your priorities, doesn't it?
Don't misunderstand me by my link to the second article - in this country I am not in favour of police breaking up outdoor parties, on the beach or elsewhere (in fact I hate it) and, yes, even when it comes to hippies, they're entitled to have their fun like the rest of us (even though I personally find both their music and their drugs rather tedious). It is not for me to dictate, but not all of them have been willing to show me the same level of tolerance. And then they wonder why I get sick of hippies and their tastes.
However, my support of the outdoor music scene might not be the same if I lived in another country, simply wanted to be in peace and found my local beach invaded by Western hippies, their 24-7 raves (with the noise entailed) and the beaches not only crowded and noisy but also littered with garbage. Perhaps then my tolerance would start to wane, especially were I a few years older.

Kill All Hippies!!
You know what? I have fucking had it up to the back teeth with pretensious hippies, especially white middle class men pontificating on the benefits one can gain by allegedly following their religious views, taking their drugs (cannabis, hallucinogenics and ectsasy) and dancing to their repetive psytrance techno. According to some such pals who have taken residence in India and gone oh so spiritual, their music, as well as their drugs, can bring people 'all together' to become as one, raise one's consciousness and get one 'closer to God'. Along with their chat up lines about 'tantric sex'. Bloody rot. Anyone can come out with such shit - and what is righteous about getting high? They are welcome to as much as anyone, but tell me how I should get my kicks and I become very irate.
I can go one better - but I doubt I would be taken seriously. So why are they taken seriously? But, here goes........
SUPPORT OUR GROWING MOVEMENT TODAY!
Our movement is based upon the growing level of interest in spiritual matters among most people in the West. They find our culture spiritually empty - well, you don't have to go East. The tools are here, trouble is we have to be exclusive due to the repressive laws erected by the fascist regimes of the world. Our radical movement has the potential to overthrow society as we know it.
Therefore it is recommended that you read the literature written by myself, helped along by other members of the 'White Light White Heat Foundation'. We have based our principles upon not only the study of light energy (the Source of all being, amen) but also having had experienced it for ourselves. We wish to spread this message to others, as many as possible.
The gateways to experiencing the source of all being and gaining a taste of Nirvana while on this material plane are on my very being, and are possessed by every human (or hey men, you have the keys as well to help me open them, along with your own!). We simply need the help of each others company, some music, and some drugs.
One can, if possible, achieve the State of bliss through years of meditation without the help of either stimulants, music, or sexual activity. But why go through all this when we have the tools to achieve it now?
In order to achieve the state of union with the divine this is what we must do. Cocaine use, each others company, of music and sexual activity are required. The first two are essential, but the latter two will ensure the experience is achieved, especially when both are used. For those who have trouble relaxing the use of alcohol is recommended.
At our parties one is ensured the ultimate in spiritual experience, especially if they have studied our literature.
We have comfortable surroundings in a remote rural area. Cocaine and alcohol are both provided. We have comfortable areas designed for both snorting and social facillitation, and on our dancefloors fast techno and rap music are played with a tantric rhythmn to help loosen one's inhibitions. Our guest rooms are very comfortable, and if one wishes for some time to simply focus and enjoy the state of euphoria, communion and bliss we have chill out rooms on top of the mansion overlooking the night sky.
One will find that the correct amount of coke combined with the music and the tantric sex (that will achieve mind and body orgasms equivalent to surges of hot white light surging through oneself) will achieve the sensation of flying. The euphoria produced will result in you feeling at one with the universe, the rest of humanity, and with the source of all being, the divine. You will feel or see God, to put it bluntly.
Having experienced such a state myself I can be certain that death is not the end, and when I leave this body the state I can only now experience after having used certain quantaties of coke will be permanent. I will melt into the source in perpetual bliss, eternity being spent in an orgasmic centre of white light energy, hot and pure.
Those who fail to gain this awareness during their lifetimes will only have to suffer the fates of either rebirth or a period in hell, depending on their level of ignorance and alienation from the Source. It is down to oneself whether they wish to remain in ignorance or not.
To help the process of salvation it is recommended that you not only study our literature but after doing so join our foundation and attend our gatherings. Membership costs £100 per month, and our parties cost £1000 to attend, coke and alcohol being provided as well as accomodation. One will not be dissapointed with the quality of our drugs - we only use the purest Peruvian flake cocaine and our wines, beers, and spirits are of the finest quality also.
Although the price may seem a little steep at first, you must bear in mind that our goods are expensive, things being as they are. Our money goes towards good causes - we campaign against the current drug laws and do the best we can to promote social justice as well as enlightment.
To order our literature or to enquire about membership please go to whitelightwhiteheat.org.
The Source be with You (I'll sniff to that)
************************************************************************************
That, my friends, is what I say to those self righteous pretentious hippies who wish to ram their views (and their drugs) down my throat. God knows why they have a following - cos is anything they promote superior to what I have just preached above? You'll be hard pressed to give me any examples. There is no need to tell me about the dangers of any kind of drug - but then I am not the kind of twat who claims that the use of cannabis (or any of their other psychedelic hippy drugs) are harmless, beneficial, righteous even - while scorning at people who have a different idea of a good time, with or without any kind of drug. I have no right to ram my tastes down other people's throats. It is true that an experience of transcendence can be achieved with the help of drugs - but I don't promote it. What the experience consists of - I have no scientific proof that it consists of anything other than chemical reactions in the brain so I don't get into pointless mystical debates and lectures about metaphysics, philosophy in the attempt to convince people that it does consist of anything more than what is scientifically known. Anyone with a logical brain will see what I mean. I was attacked by a damned hippy for having 'too much of a logical brain' for being 'narrow minded' and 'unimaginative'. In which case I shall praise logic, being rational and lacking the 'imagination' to speak drug fuelled gibberish, in spite of my having experienced the effects of getting high or stoned.
Let's do whatever we will to that and tell them to shove their mystical, drug driven bullshit where the sun does not shine - up their noses or any other orifice.
