   About Music is rubbish!


Hi, welcome indeed to this most convoluted of business cards,
isn't it fun.

As to me, I write occasional epic blogs which I post *exclusively*
ahem, here, on this site, just above, up there, yeah, have a look.

And I play double bass and drum badly.

The 'Poetry is Rubbish' myspace page is mine too for.. da da daaaah!
Yup, offensive poetry.

I've written two books you know...

They're not very good mind.

You can also find links to the other 'rubbish' pages.
So far we have; Poetry, Art, Religion and Tambourines.
All in fun. It is hoped that debate will ensue.

On which note could I just add that Extra-rubbish tunes
has a pair of tunes that I did myself..

Right, to other's music then...



People I've played with..

    ..one at a time concurrently...

***Featured track***

    Ride in the Pi


Danny and I are old chums.

He was the first one to get me enthused about jazz,
like, twelve years ago for which I thank him sometimes.

The man is profanely talented at both the pianoforte and
the violoncello. Truly unreservedly, it is only the fact that
we are indeed old muckers that I haven't taken my
twelve-bore to him.

Ego Warriors is a movement, started a few years back, by
accident, to cock a snoot at the tyranny of the modern age
in a kind of light hearted but firm way. And infirm also.
Fighting the tirade of mass mediocrity.

Recorded live, January 2006 at the Astoria, London.

The 'Bonzo's toured last November and I went along to see the last show,
they kicked the proverbial booty.
Plus, I believe they have a new album, thirty years in the making.
Which should be good.

'The Last Trilogy'


An album made of three parts, as good trilogies sometimes are:

Myspace Links..

    Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Part 1 Jake Wellington and the Soldiers of Peace


    Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Part 2 The Devil and the Dirty Feel ...and the Too Dark To Name


    Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Part 3 The Love Making Music Band


The brainchild of Spencer Jude Pearce, London's finest busker,
'the last trilogy' is a stylistically diverse set of songs with an
underlying storyline which does as good a job as words can
when correctly failing to accept the bullshit in this crazy world.

This site is good fun, you can make Spencer dance for one,
you could also invest your hard earned moolah in the CD.
Currently:

Plugging away at being ourselves, all of us.

Gigs here and there, the main three parts were performed
live last year at three seperate purposefully set-up events
and are to be repeated as and when appropriate.
