Dedicated to my father Jim who would often sing this song sitting around a camp-fire with a rum in hand. He only seemed to know a few of the lines but but he sang them with gusto.

Main vocals by Shenandoah as Jim used to sometimes call her.

Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down

The words are from the closing paragraphs of the Michael C Ruppert book Crossing the Rubicon.

His plea seems more pertinent now than when penned in 2006.

Crossing the Rubicon

Crossing The Rubicon

As the world raced into the future with technology, Clarence and Roscoe stayed behind. No vehicles, no floor in their house, no modern conveniences like running water or indoor toilet. They were a disappearing breed that doesn't exist anymore.
After appearing on the cover of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils album Men From Earth they were subsequently attacked in their home and left for dead by someone who believed they had been paid a large sum of money for the photo shoot.
I found their commitment to adhering to their simple way of life inspiring and in deep contrast to their fate at the hands of greed and this is what I wanted to reflect in this piece.

Occams Razor Dies Suddenly

A light-hearted song about childhood.

The image is me as a kid about to go off camping on my own one weekend but I don't think kids are allowed to do that any more.

A Cowboy's Work Is Never Done

A Cowboys Work Is Never Done

The fractals in the image were formed naturally by a layer of ice in the stainless steel laundry tub on our verandah one morning after a heavy frost. 

Fractals abound in nature and what is music but a form of sonic fractal with bifurcations and orbits stemming from a central theme, ever more complex the closer you listen.

This Fractal Life

Just a light hearted ditty.

My last track was all based on a single note so this track is in the opposite direction.

Future Shock

Now I know that cantankerous old coot C J Hopkins used the very same words to describe the current rift in the western world but I can verify that I wrote the lyrics to this song a good month before he did, he just says it much better, and I will quote him here;

"Yes, there is a divide. A great divide. A chasm. A schism. A gulf. An abyss. A gaping, yawning, unbridgeable fissure. A Grand Canyon-sized fault in the foundation of society. A rupture in the very fabric of reality."

The Schizm

The subject of this article by Kevin McKernan should be headline news all over the world.  The fact that it isn't tells you all you need to know about media and government.

https://anandamide.substack.com/p/spider-webs-in-the-pfizer-closet

If you are wondering who Kevin McKernan is, he has been working in the field of genomic sequencing for 25 years, having managed R&D for the Human Genome Project at Whitehead Institute/MIT and now runs his own company, Medicinal Genomics, as founder and Chief Science Officer. 

So, you know, just your average conspiracy theorist.

His discovery has now been verified by several other scientists around the world including Dr. Phillip Buckhaults, who was initially sceptical of McKernan’s findings. The Surgeon General of Florida also thinks it is an issue of serious concern and has asked the US FDA for answers;

If you need assurance that regulators will act on this, look no further than the 74 page response of redacted data from Australia's TGA to an FOI request pertaining to DNA plasmid contamination of the Pfizer vaccine;

SV40 Reprise

Part 2 of a trilogy dedicated to the medical marvel brought to you by Pfizer, the gift that just keeps on giving.

The track title has been adapted from a statement by David Wiseman and his comments on the following study are printed below.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06800-3#Sec22

"The finding that unintended proteins may be produced as a result of vaccination is sufficient cause for regulators to conduct full risk assessments of past or future harms that may have ensued. We note that regulators have previously failed to insist on the study and assessment of risk of the pharmacology and toxicology of novel spike protein heterotrimers forming after injection of the bivalent COVID-19 modRNA vaccines.
The paper was received by Nature on January 25, 2023, accepted for publication on October 31, 2023 and published today, December 6, 2023. This time frame appears rather protracted given the significance of these findings. The study was funded and conducted by agencies of the United Kingdom. The evidence for the formation of off-target proteins must surely be considered a reportable adverse event.
We must assume UK regulators, manufacturers, and international regulatory agencies, including FDA, were apprised of the data many months ago. We await their account of what steps they have taken to investigate why the formation of off-target proteins was not discovered sooner, what toxic effects they may have caused and what steps they are taken to prevent harm in the future and to inform the public of these findings."

When The Shift Hits The Fan

Part 3 of the trilogy dedicated to Pfizer.

The saga so far.

1. The former head of research at the Human Genome Project Kevin McKernan, discovers high levels of DNA contamination in the mRNA vaccines. Further research shows that the DNA plasmids used in the manufacture of the vaccines contain the SV40 promoter sequence which hitches a ride into human cells via the Lipid Nanoparticles encapsulating the mRNA.

2. Drug regulators and fact checkers around the world deny there is any DNA contamination.

3. More scientists confirm the finding of DNA contamination and the presence of the SV40 promoter sequence. One of these scientists was Dr. Phillip Buckhaults who, as an advocate of the mRNA technology, intended to debunk the claim but ended up confirming it. Others include German Professors Prof Dr. Brigitte König and Prof. Dr. Jürgen Kirschner.

4. Regulators including the FDA, EMA and Health Canada finally confirm that the findings are correct but, without any research, state that there is no cause for concern.

5. Crucially, it is noted that Pfizer did not include the SV40 component of the manufacturing plasmids in their documentation supplied to the FDA prior to the Emergency Use Authorisation.

6. It has been known for many years that the SV40 promoter binds to the human tumor suppressor gene p53. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5288138/

So to quote Kevin here, 

"We have billions of molecules of SV40 Promoters being injected and if they are a sink for p53, then that gene is wasting its time on decoys.

Any non-disclosed contaminant in the vaccine that resembled prior vaccine debacles (like SV40 in the polio vaccine) and also bound to p53 would be grounds for enough people to say.. yah OK… maybe we should consider some precaution here? This is easy to eliminate and easy to track and monitor. Why are we not being cautious here?

It’s as if every contaminant instantly becomes a beneficial adjuvant the moment its found."

Ambire

A song written by my brother Andy and dedicated to our mother Val who passed away earlier this year.

At our mothers written request, Andy, my sister Sharon and old family friend Bop Bell performed this song at the funeral. It was a deeply moving experience and as I watched and and listened, I decided that I needed to share in this expression of love for our mother as well.

Andy used to perform this song with his outfit, The Band That Couldn't Plough Straight, and I have simply followed the arrangement from the recording on his album called Taxi. I have borrowed a small snippet of his acoustic guitar part and the outro melody is based on Veren's violin with the very last few notes fading to Andy and Veren's outro.

My partner and soul mate Susana has chipped in on the backing vocal as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You wealth? It was all an illusion.
Conjured by faith in a mass delusion.
The indices were trending,
You clicked 'BUY' with a mouse.
But then they veered south again,
It was a 'dead cat bounce'.

Jump you fuckers, you didn't pay us no heed.
That when you debts to big, is when fear trumps greed.
Jump you fuckers, we know you can read.
The window is open, and now fear trumps greed.

Here, let me get that for you.
Why don't you use this chair.
UH! Don't look down!
Just focus on the horizon and gently lean forward . . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A remix of an oldie which seemed relevant to our times, tried to extract more groove for a funkier feel and added some dubious vocals as well.

To clarify, I would never really encourage anyone to jump out a window.

I'm Five Years Ahead Of My Time

Video - https://vimeo.com/620536885

Dedicated to all the scientists, health professionals and researchers who have been ignored, maligned and outright cancelled during the last year. Science is not a set of incontrovertible facts be be followed blindly, it is a process of enquiry and the suppression of that process is a tactic of religions, cults and ideologues, not science.

Credit goes to Susana's uncle Sid who, at the age of 84 and with a strong science and technology background,  provided the line, "it's the outward sign of their inner grace". 

A special thank you to C.J. Hopkins for his insightful satire which has helped me keep the last year in perspective. OK, he's not a scientist but his book 'Zone 23' penned in 2015 eerily parallels much of the authoritarianism that is escalating in the world at the moment.  It was in his early 2020 essays that I first encountered the term 'New Normals' to define those who are willingly embracing these political incursions.

The New Normals

I started fiddling with electronic music back in the mid 80's. 

One could argue that I should have learnt something about music by now.
