To THINK "roadie" was The Real Think ./`'

Rudy jr. - 2o2ii BOOMboom

Quite some labour - and I think I am not even done with it. :) 
So many hours on the renewal. 
Hm. 
As I write ... Some things are just too hard...
Tell me what you think. 
THIS is not the final mix!! > So, if you fancy, use "Download" - one day this'll be gone! :)

Rudy jr. - Schøn 2011

A 2002 recording, redone with today's ears. 
Hope the blues finds some mercy? 
But please be honest with commenting on the delivery. 'Nice guy'-remarks don't help improving the craftmanship music deserves... 
Thank you for your precious time!!! :)

Rudy jr. - Fade Away

we've got to turn this thing around
we've got to overcome this frust-a-ration
we've had enough of feeling down
we've got to head into a new direction

the start was good but now we're down

we've got to let a little loose
oh woman let's get rid of too much pressure
or else we're bound to blow a fuse
so let us dance and that's a safety measure

we've got to get rid of this blues

..

you know it's true!

Turn This Thing

i never wanted 
to get on your nerve
now you think 
i got what i deserve

i never wanted 
to go on my knees
so this is it
"return my cds please"

going through some daft times

i never wanted
to shout at the kids
familiar egos
sometimes it's the pits

i never wanted
to have this bad back
my self-conception
is an aching wreck

going through some daft times

yes, i want to learn - 
but hey:
what if i was taught
on another day?
  
i never wanted 
to get on your nerve
..
now you think 
i got what i deserve

Daft Times

"Hate Boat Worldwide, Excorporated"
Collaboration with MK/ Jazzy Breeze, who composed the basis. Guitars, 'lyrics' and very unpro [not even "de-popped"] overdubbed vocals by me.  Recorded on Fostex analog tape, backings programmed with Cubase on an Atari. Fun times! We could have ruled...

hate boat worldwide, exc. - all we got isn't time

MASTERVOLT is the upcoming New Release for the Groundbreaking group Defunkt on ZIP RECORDS/San Francisco. Defunkt began in the early 80's NYC Punk/Funk scene.  After a 35 year touring stint with various Defunkt formations Joseph Bowie brings together the 1st Euro-based incarnation of Defunkt featuring Linley Marthe, Emma Lamadji, Jon Grandcamp, Rocco Zifarelli and Michael Lecoq. In 1980 Joe worked with Hungarian poet/lyricists Janos Gat to create the no-nonsense awareness inspiring legacy of Defunkt.  Working now with artist/writer/lyricist Hilarius Hofstede Joe has written dynamic music to top his extraordinary career maintaining his aspiration to be the people's musician of truth and awareness.  "Africa Now" is a vocal cross cultural masterpiece sculpted and co-composed by singer Emma Lamadji with the music of Joe Bowie and lyrics of Hilarius Hofstede.  Emma, living in Montpellier, FR, originally from Central Africa merges Afro Beat with Funk/Jazz in an incredible display of artistry. Defunkt's Queen!

03 Africa Now

i am a message for the man
who will hear and understand
in the right frame of his mind

i hope it’s going to be me
cause i sometimes cannot see
that we’re able to beat time

i hope it’s going to be you
cause you need a word that’s true
to return to doing fine

everything you know is wrong
cause everything you knew was right
now you know that now go on
you’re so alright

yes you’ve been crying in the night
desperado of the plight
breathing in and breathing out

back on the board where you belong
everything they know is wrong
we will be laughing out loud

Message for the Man

maybe i’m not
one of the clever guys
i used to think i understand

now i think i 
drown in a swamp of lies
could you spare a hand and

help me retrieve
some solid ground cause i was
led to believe
the end is nigh

how i wish that we
simply could agree
that we’re basically the same  

but as it looks
there’s crooks taking holy books
turning it all into shame 

let’s retrieve
some solid ground cause we were
led to believe
the end is nigh

better believe in santa
than in your propaganda

is it lack of love
that our brains go soft
we better make some common sense

better ridicule
agitating fools
and stop to be obsessed with ends

the end is nigh
the end is nigh

The End Is Nigh

a 2020 cover version

SOMETHING
