Hello Swaybone friends,
The band is back in October Oh Nine with a new six-song preview demo from the upcoming album "Life on Earth", which is brimming with the guitar and vocal pyrotechnics of Theo Cedar Jones, the drumming command and fury of Rich D, and the brooding thunderous presence of Surg on bass.
Swaybone have written a new chapter in their songwriting legacy with the fourteen songs on their upcoming album "Life on Earth". Lead off track "Da Light" contains a stunning revelation - that Adi Da is the long awaited Godman of our times, and He has revealed the plan that can save the Earth:
The Great One is here
a new Revelation
the Liberator of all beings...
"Da Light!" is a roaring thundering fanfare for Adi Da, as the Divine Person Himself, and a devotional offering by Theo to his Heart Master and Guru.
Track two, "Not-Two Is Peace" takes its name from the book by Adi Da "Not-Two Is Peace" and includes the lyrics:
How do we save the world?
Not Two Is Peace
everybody force
Not Two Is Peace
stop what must not be
Not Two Is Peace
Stop what must not be...
"Not-Two Is Peace" is Adi Da's plan for world peace, and the song that takes its name is a marching song for the prior unity peace movement, that is dedicated to getting the book to 10 million people by 2012.
Now we are working for
everybody all at once
The "everybody force" and "everybody all at once" in these lyrics are references to the Global Cooperative Forum proposed by Adi Da in "Not-Two Is Peace", a means whereby humanity as a totality can address and manage its collective interests, within a forum that affirms prior unity for all beings.
Theo has found his ultimate singing and songwriting muse in his relationship with Heart Master Adi Da, and the historic significance of His Presence here. Singing is a devotional act for the singer, who practices the opening of the head to the downward descending Presence of the Guru while singing.
"Life on Earth" tackles some of the big issues of our day, including the existence of 21,844 nuclear warheads on planet Earth today (21,149 in "Christian majority countries", plus 695 in "non-Christian countries").
Ban all nuclear weapons from the face of the Earth!
No more nuclear weapons anywhere on Earth!
No more warfare anywhere on Earth!
In addition to tackling some of the big issues of the day, the singer probes into the source of the problems, the ego culture of human egos, including the singer's ego. The singer confesses his status as "narcissus", or the ego, the source of man-made trouble and fault in the world, who can only be released from this activity by the Guru's Grace:
It's not God's fault that I turned away
I am wrong
guilty of everything
"Invite the Light"
nothing I say
nothing I do
makes any difference to Reality
"L'eau de mon coeur"
The demo and the upcoming album also include a personal ballad by the singer to Adi Da, called "Flow in Your Ocean":
A love song
A love song for the human race
I want to show you His Face
the Master of all time and space
"Life on Earth" is a voice shouting about "the Brightness" that is here to help humanity save the world, and about seeing God's Face, face-to-face, and about getting "da book" to "da people" in time to save the world.
This album is a song cycle that celebrates the emergence of the Godman in human affairs, as well as the consequent conversion of humanity from the corruption of ego culture and its end-result of mass self-destruction, towards a culture based on the presumption of prior unity, radical devotion and right life.

We hope you're doing fine and want to let you know that there're some updates on our page :)
Feel free to listen to "Synaptogenesis" and "Enter Dystopia", taken from our latest album “X to the Power of Ten”! You’ll also find a little Making Off and there’s new merch available!!!
As it turns out, I entered a song last week that wasn’t designated as a PINK contest song!! :( Yet, I went ahead and entered a correct choice on the last day of the contest ("So What") and was actually able to get my needed 100 plays to qualify by the end of that very same day! Nonetheless, I still need as many more plays as possible to help in the final contest rating. So, if you can be so kind again, and go to the link below and view this newer entry just once through, that would be so appreciated! Thanks so much, and wishing you all the best in this new year! ~ Felicia Wolfe ~

You asked for it! Now you're going to get it! Mother Climax is going to be interviewed by Loopy and Crew on OzCat radio. The show starts at 3:00 and the Ultimate White Trash Party Band will be interviewed during the 4:00 hour. Who knows what that means, I don't talk radio speak so tune in early so you don't miss it. Lil' Bill will miss the show, he's tied up with his child custody hearing. I think his mom has a great chance of winning, since I'll be in Vallejo on the radio.
We'll bring the beer Loopy, you better have lots of Cheez Whiz!
Tonight! On Goldie's Garage, a segment of Little Steven's Underground Garage (Little Steven isn't just a Soprano) Sean O'Brien and His Dirty Hands will be competing in the first round of the Battle of the Bands.

All we need is for you and everyone you know to go to Goldie’s Garage and click on the "Sean O'Brien" license plate on the left side of the page and vote for the Dirty Hands.

Holy crap! My ID has been hijacked again! DO I LOOK LIKE THE KIND O' GUY WHO WOULD BE INTO PURSES?!?!?!? Well . . . at least outside of the privacy of my own home? Sweet Mother of George Bush! What next? "Hi, ladies! I'm Jd . . . welcome to my Avon page"!?!?!?!
Needless to say (so why the hell am I sayin' it?), I did NOT post that ad for a free purse . . . but it was rather attractive, I must say . . .
