END GLOBAL WARRING, THEN DEAL WITH GLOBAL WARMING! What constitutes a truely healthy human being? What stops us from healing, from dealing directly with the mad insanity of 'progressive' industrial warlike civilisation? Who is truely responsible?
Music
When it comes to live music it's gotta be Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, Nina Simone....(oooops all visionaries, all dead!)
but really currently live here's a few I like a lot, and have seen : Will Varley, Semble, Martha Tilston, Carrie Tree, Damien Dempsey, PinknRuby, Damien Rice, Nizlopi, Tarantism, Steve Tilston, Bindoo Baba's, Seize The Day, Mal Webb, Sugar Drum, Ted Humphries, Planetman, The Rub, Sarah Bear, Gill Scott-Heron, Ani Di Franco, Gaz Twist, Joe Driscoll, Tom Trelawney, poets like The Yap, SpaceGirl and Poetree Man, more muisc like Carrie Tree, Planetman and the Internationals, Tarantism, Opaque, Micheal Franti, Josh, Daisy and all at Sunday Sounds, the crew at PEACEFM and there's more .... much more
Then on the technoid/dance side of things there's loads so here's a few choice juicy tunesmiths.... Aphrodite. (d n'b) Hart House (techo). Zen Terrorists (trance). SBL. Juno Reactor. 808 State. Kraftwerk. Koru. Flying Rhino. Liquid Connective. Leftfield (Leftism) Marine Kulcha. Zion Train. Transglobal Underground. Eatstatic. EON. Matt da Catt. Tangerine Dream. and more ..... I have a divine collection of techo/electro/breaks music, on vinyl, that is second to none .. I know 'cos I have played it out, and boy it rocks the room, again and again!
Movies
Most are propaganda, so I generally don't watch movies. There's a short satirical video featuring my song "i Don't like geldof" on google video..... documantaries like "america : freedom to facism", "Cuba : The Power of Community", "zeitgeist" ....
Television
here's my most recent video
i was a slave
a song about schooling...
Books
Anything by Carl Rogers, John Pilger, George Monbiot, Chomsky, and in particular the following 'The Roots of Violence in Childrearing : For Your Own Good' by Alice Miller, 'The Continuum Concept' by Jean Leidloff, 'Healing without Freud or Prozac' by Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, "The Underground HIstory of Education" by John Taylor Gatto, any works by Bill Mollinson on Permaculture - all these I consider essential reading. It's the real deal that interests me, I can't be dealing with 'literary' work, unless it cuts to the core, of being human, in this world, as it is today and resolves. Shakespear leaves me cold, cold - it's just propaganda. The 'established' classics - shite and propaganda!
Heroes

Hi and welcome to all my new friends on myspace. I know you're not just a name on a screen. You are a life, and must therefore be of similar nature to I, in spite of conceptual differences. We are after all human. And also Nature. The knowledge that the natural child is inherently intelligent, ceautiful and creative. The inspiration ot ensure our society starts to behave accordingly. By listening to the children.
We, each of us, is born knowing who we are....

{03/04/09} - Needleandthread spring hop.. jamm bar, 261 brixton road, sw9 6lh.. 9pm till late.. £5 before 11pm, £6 after..
We be back.. arrh.. with a rather tasty gig..
The line up is likely to take the roof off Jamm with Speakers Corner Quartet at number one on the list. These guys have headlined the Jazz Cafe and opened for Herbie Hancock at the Royal Albert Hall, as well as working with some big names in hip hop.
In addition to this amazing headline, The Sound of Rum who are festival legends with lyricist Excentral Tempest at the helm, will also be on hand to build the vibes (Rob Da Bank is amongst there many fans). Plus Onyx Ashanti and Daisy Kelly Granger will add some serious funk and soul respectively.
In addition to the incredible live line up comes DJ support from the best around. DJ Snuff is a local hip hop legend, founder of first ‘Speakers Corner’ and then he English branch of the global hip hop movement ‘End of the Weak’. Another DJ who recently also re-launched a strand of a global network ‘Balkan Beats London’, DJ Malaka will be blending traditional folk from Eastern Europe with pounding dance music. Add Popcorn Charly and Drusus Germanicus to the line up and you have a funk fuelled, world eclectic vibe of top class music to take you into the early hours.
Hey! Hows it going? Just to let you know, I have a gig in london this thursday (2nd April) at the Hideaway in archway. £2 entry. See you there?. Paulxxxxxx
