written and performed badly by me .... Thanks to sally for input on the arrangement ;-) 

you can pick and choose your friends.... but you're stuck with your family my son :-)


Im trying

With all the best intensions 
of pre-emptive intervention
for the life of me i couldn't see what was  coming next 
even with the power of predictive text 
the messages i couldn't read 
my hand was bitten with what i feed
with the blood on them all of my own
as the story told became a drone
a monologue with long chapters of angry tirade
this has never made
me feel any better
to cross the T's and dot the I's down to the last letter
i write you an apology 
as part of an anthology 
to sing you in song
i know what i did wrong
though whats the point to it all
when you dont want to hear or take my calls
except to prove to me that im trying

I'm trying-Extinction of the New Dinosaurs

Now recording as https://soundcloud.com/dead_melodies 

Chilled out ambient dub and experimental acoustic stuff, plus various other genre hopping experiments.

I have been a performance artist since 1971 performing as one of the Kipper Kids until 2003.
I have also worked as a solo performance artist collaborating and appearing with Karen Finley, Henry Rollins, Public Image, Genesis P. Orridge, Sex Pistols, Joanna Went, Eric Bogosian, Anne Bean, Bow Gamelan, Lol Coxhill, Paul Burwell, Evan Parker, Derek Bailey and Ian Hinchcliffe among others. 
I currently live in Leicester in the UK and make soundworks and movies.
My digital movies have been presented at the Royal Academy in London-https://vimeo.com/brianrouth and my sound works on BBC radio and at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.

The Kipper Kids have been involved in writing and starring in three projects for HBO and Cinemax and appeared in a number of movies.

Recently I have collaborated with digital artist Patricia Routh on soundtracks for Patricia's animations and video works-https://vimeo.com/channels/wells

I am also working on my soundscapes for my poetry and songs plus instrumental music and sound-works that incorporate vocal soundbites of world leaders, politicians, madmen, poets, rebels, murderers and others. As well as soundtracks for my own low budget movies and musical video poems.

Starved Man and the Begging Beggar is a two piece ambient rock project created by Matthew Flaherty and David Robinson.
We started way back in 2006 recording a few very low quality tracks. SMBB was almost forgotten about until early 2011 when we decided to restart the project with better equipment and take it a little more seriously.
You can buy our 5 track EP on iTunes for £2.49 <a href="http://minlnk.at/smbbitunes" rel="follow" target="_blank">http://minlnk.at/smbbitunes</a>
