About me:
....I am a retired designer/producer with an interest in progressive politics, counterculture history, art and music. My history is generally the same - I'm an old hippy at heart. Currently focused on the web and blog both here and at Mal Burns Monitor most days. I was born in the UK and raised/schooled in the West Midlands. I "dropped out" into the hippie sub-culture of the late 1960s and moved to London where I lived pretty much lived ever since. After involvement with "underground" organisations and the alternative press of the time, I moved into the field of comix (and later general "art") production, before embarking on some self re-education for the burgeoning field of creative technology in the 1980s. I then moved from working as a designer to corporate training in the new design software among my peers. For health reasons I withdrew from the rat race again at the end of the last century and since then have devoted myself to .. pursuits. I currently strive to make sure I still remain a few percentage points short of permanent symbiosis with cyberspace, maintaining an interest in nature, ecology and politics. My avatar in Second Life is "Malburns Witer" and my constant squeaks are at http://twitter.com/malburns. Generally speaking I now inhabit the metaverse more than the web, although bringing web feeds in-world is my prime concern. Contact me if you want IM or Skype networking details.

10 of 16MoreSorry Mal, this a belated Happy Birthday!
Happy New Years and Happy Birthday MaL!
WOOT!
Hope you are having a good Holiday season! I wanted to let you know that i'll be touring in the UK in January with Kevin Montgomery, and we are playing London on Jan. 15th....at the Half Moon on Putney. I hope you can make the show..........until then, Happy Trails! AP
Hey there to one of my Number Uno Listeners! have a wonderful weekend!
Hey Mal,
Hope all is well with you. Thanks for listening and adding Dream Art Science. Glad to be your myspace friend.
FYI "Gates of the Duat" is available as a free download. You can also hear samples of other songs from our CD if you scroll down on our page.
Peace and love,
Beverly
Hey Mal: you and Hunter in one week! Great to hear from you - glad you're still alive and kicking.
Take care.
Hi, hope you don't mind a plug (but it involves a free Chris Singleton track).
1 Here's the free track, 'Worry Number One': click here to download. It's a mix of Beatles, Bowie, and Bolan.
2. If you do like it, you can download the new single, 'Tonight' on iTunes or, if you live in Ireland, by texting music 233 to 57501 or visiting downloadmusic.ie. Costs about 1 Euro.
3. And if you really like that, you can get the album, "Twisted City", from good record shops or on the net from CD World, Amazon or iTunes.
Thank you very much - and I hope you'll excuse the cheeky plug. Feel free to send Chris your feedback - just drop him a Myspace message.
Hullo MySpace chum from long ago, Mal Burns!
Shameless Surrealist Promotion...
A big greeting to you, a discerning adventurer into the multiworlds of Bart Dickon, The Ideologically-Sound Secret Agent... For the MySpace cognoscenti only (not just my immediate Friends), throughout April you can buy the book of my wondrous exploits "The Bart Dickon Omnibus" for only ten of your Earth pounds - on May 1st it reverts to the usual bookshop price of £14.00. Just send Bart Dickon a message from your MySpace page, I'll check your ideological pulse and let you know how to become the owner of this prestigious volume (including non-UK currencies, shipping etc.). I'll even get the precocious author to sign it for you. 108 pages, full colour glossy covers, seventeen years of creativity in one glorious graphic novella to foil evil foes, smash capitalism and free the workers! Remember: political power comes out of the barrel of a Rapidograph. Full details and samples from the book are at http://www.bartdickonline.co.uk, but remember, £10.00 a copy is a MySpace-only offer price.
"... an astounding example of surreal riffing on culture." Sean Ferrell, PopMatters review
Pip pip!
