No one likes a bully. And Mad Bad Vlad Putin is a bully. I fucking hate bullies. So do these heroic gentlemen. Not everyone is brave enough to go and fight the tyrant though. I certainly wasn’t. They may be 19 year old starving conscripts, but they are not short of weapons. But I had… Continue reading Vladimir Putin: My Part in his Downfall

Frequency Karma
Frequency Karma is the name of my latest tune. It is about us all becoming enlightened, together, in a sort of Celestine Prophecy “Critical Mass” type of vein. As far as the music goes, I would call it buddhist punk if you measure in genres, but you can call it anything you like.

Tibet, Where art thou?
After downloading the new Mac version of Google Earth, I was interested to look up Tibet. Couldn’t find it. “Lhasa Tibet”, “Tibet China” – no joy. “Lasa China” found what I was looking for, well it’s a place mark anyway. No real info though, hidden by Google to appease the Chinese authorities I suspect. Tibet,… Continue reading Tibet, Where art thou?
