One of the most hotly debated terms this century is the word woke. It means to be aware, as in, “I have woke up to [this cause].” Formerly, you were not aware; now, you are. Woke is most often used in the context of what some folks believe are the oppressors and the oppressed: “I am awake to your oppression.” Within this group of woke people, you will find a spectrum of adherents. On one end, there are the innocent idealists, and on the other, there are angry activists.

Two Degrees of Woke: The Innocent Idealist and Angry Activist

If there were any press outlets interested in covering the trials and tribulations of a little-known traveling musician trying to sing any songs about Palestine without having people try to cancel his gigs, what might that coverage look like?

Canadian Cancellations

cancelled.exe (Formely Mathematics, Quantum Mechanics - which is now the radio un-friendly version)

The day Mr. Robot Head  got cancelled.

About the song:

* Started out with the clean guitar riff, turned into Alex Jones ranting about Justin Beiber / Magellan. There was no plan or much thought given to this.
* This version is "final" although I was unsure of which solo to use. I recorded 3 - 4 improv solos and chose this solo for the final version as it gives a bit more room for the song to breathe
* Mr. Robot Head shares no spiritual, political or any views. If Alex Jones outrages you consider it art. Mr. Robot Head may get cancelled and call it a good day. Who knows. 
* As always, all instruments performed by me and all midi instruments programmed by me unless stated otherwise

Are you a musician who wants to collaborate? Hit me up, I would love to help out on one of your tracks or have you feature on mine. Particularly singers or bassists, but happy for a more capable guitarist to lay some solos down for future tracks too. 

Transcript from the entire rant:

"Look, when you realize how fake it all is - the football, the basketball, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber... Who gives you these carbon tax messages? They tell your kids they have to love Justin Bieber, and then they say "hand in your guns, pass the cybersecurity act," and "the police state is good."

Your children are turned into mindless vassals who look up to Twitter instead of Thomas Jefferson, Nikola Tesla, or Magellan. I mean, kids, Magellan's a lot cooler than Justin Bieber. He circumnavigated the entire planet with one ship. He was killed by wild natives before they got back to Portugal. When they returned, there were only 11 people alive of the 207 crew, and the entire ship was rotting down to the waterline.

That's destiny, that's will, that's striving, that's being a trailblazer and explorer - going into space, mathematics, quantum mechanics, the sacred unknowns. It's all there. Life is fiery with its beauty, its incredible detail. Tuning into it... They want to shatter your mind talking about Justin Bieber. It's pure evil. They're taking your intellect and your soul and giving you Michael Jordan and Bieber.

Unlock your human potential. Defeat the globalists who want to shutter your mind, your doorways to perception. I want to see you truly live. I want to see you truly be who you are. I don't want my progeny - my unborn grandchildren and great-grandchildren - to live in this nightmare system these control freaks have created, where these wicked globalists are so threatened by human potential. They poison the water, the vaccines, the food to turn us into a bunch of slugs, a bunch of lobotomized sloths so they can control us.

It is a crime. It is the most jealous, envious, greedy, hateful, sickening thing the new world order does. That's why I am so pleased to be committed in the fight against them. That's why I don't care about my own life except I want to continue to live to fight them. That's why I don't have fear. I only have fear of myself and my flesh and not being up to the challenge.

I ask you to look in the mirror and ask yourselves: What are you doing in this time of great challenge? What are you doing to unlock minds? Once you unlock a mind, once you unlock somebody, then they can unlock their soul. We can't unlock a soul - only God can do that - but we can unlock minds. And once the mind is unlocked, once the intellect is turned on, then comes the discernment, then comes the awakening of the soul, then comes true enlightenment and empowerment/"



cancelled.exe [instrumental rock/metal ft. Alex Jones rant]

In this song, I turn my attention to the “world” as my primary audience, directly confronting the issues of abortion, transgenderism, and cancel culture, again holding the gospel out as the answer while also challenging the church to bold witness in the face of these issues. I advocate for the lives of the pre-born, oppose transgenderism and its harm to innocent children, and defend free speech – especially of the kind that seeks to protect and preserve life. This song is a form of peaceful protest, and seeks to spur more reasonable, respectful, and yet resolute Christian participation in the public square.

I Will Never Win a Grammy

Merry Christmas to all my fellow canceled people.  If you're in the club, you'll probably identify with most of the lines in this song, I'll wager -- if you get a chance to hear the song in the first place, that is.

CAPS LOCK – Lyrics

Yo, bro, you fell off, man
Ain’t seen you trend in, like, forever
Twitter say you done, wrapped up, finished
Oh wait—now they call it X... but nobody calls it that

Oh, here we go, another keyboard killer
Throwin’ punches in a thread, but you softer than vanilla
Caps lock loaded, got your fingers on the trigger
All that typin’ but your voice still brittle

They chase every scandal, a fire to feed
Rush to cancel, but never succeed
I keep receipts like a tab unpaid
While they tweet and delete, hoping mistakes fade

How dare he say that, we must take him down
Meanwhile, their bio got quotes from a clown
Ain’t nobody real in these digital towns
But they all throwin’ stones from a WiFi cloud

They got rage in the fingers, ain't a drop in the veins
Type tough in the day, disappear when it rains
They scream from the screen like it matters at all
But when the power goes out, ain't a word in the hall

They TikTok tough? Man, that's all for the views
Same folks talk loud, ain't paid they dues
Every beef is a trend, every fight got a filter
Every post is a script with a Hollywood shimmer

Meta got ‘em locked in a dopamine cage
Chasin’ the high, but they starvin’ for wage
A thousand opinions, but none of ‘em brave
Just echoes of echoes, afraid to engage

And me? I been chillin’, still stackin’ my checks
Watchin’ the timeline implode from a desk
They argue, they scream, they fight for the clicks
But real ones don't need validation from scripts

Go outside
Touch some grass
Let the pixels breathe
Before your lungs collapse

I seen ‘em fold like a lawn chair, tuck tail and run
They say they built different—nah, built like a pun
A whole generation raised on reply-button battles
Swear they got heat, but they fightin' with shadows

I never needed a hashtag to carve out a name
I never needed a panel to validate pain
I never begged for a side to accept where I stand
'Cause the truth don’t need a witness to still be the man

Bro, we gotta cancel him
Bro? Bro, are you listening?
Bro??

Diese Folge wird wehtun. Nicht, weil sie Hass sät – sondern weil sie Wahrheit ausspricht.
Während Medien und Politik pauschal auf den Osten zeigen und die AfD zum alleinigen Sündenbock erklären, schauen wir dahin, wo die eigentliche Gefahr lauert.

Robert Langer spricht über eigene Erfahrungen mit öffentlicher Ausgrenzung, politischem Druck und den schleichenden Verlust demokratischer Streitkultur.

Diese Episode ist kein Angriff – sondern ein Aufruf. An alle, die noch selber denken wollen.

Warum die AfD und die Ossis schuld an dem Untergang unseres Landes sind

In this episode, we connect with the Algorithm to unravel a chain of eerie and unsettling events. It all begins with the Devils on the Run tour and the reemergence of the Annabelle doll, which some she maybe linked to the New Orleans Parish jailbreak and the sudden burning of the Nottoway Plantation. At the center of it all is the synchornity of this occuring around the same time we identified "gingers as Black". Internet fringe or supernatural phenomenon?
From there, we explore whether trans people are a sign that God is real, diving into recent protests like the topless demonstration by trans women outside Scottish Parliament, and the complicated, emotional case of a Black woman who is legally dead but being kept alive to carry her unborn child.
We then head to Berlin, where a newly opened Cyber Brothel raises urgent questions about digital desires and it's implications on empathy. Back in the U.S., we dissect Trump’s false claim of white genocide and expose how Elon Musk programmed Grok AI to amplify that very conspiracy.
Finally, we break down the latest chapter in the Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese rivalry, and close with a reflection on why so many white people still fail to understand what racism is at it's core.
Featuring original music from underground artist Damag3, this episode dives deep into the chaos, connections, and coded signals that shape our world.

Episode 5: Let The Devil Loose

Psychologist and author Scott Barry Kaufman joins Reason's Nick Gillespie to discuss his new book Rise Above, which challenges the growing embrace of victimhood as identity.

Scott Barry Kaufman: Incels, Narcissists, and the Victim Mindset

„Mein Schatten hat 'ne Anzeige bekommen“ ist ein rotziger, überdrehter Punk-Track über Cancel Culture, absurde Triggerpanik und den täglichen Kampf gegen weichgespülte Weltbilder.
Sarkasmus trifft Wahrheit, Lärm trifft Punchlines – Burn the Norm bringt’s wie immer auf den Punkt:
Nicht böse. Nur nicht weichgespült.

⚡ Für alle, die lieber laut leben als leise untergehen.
⚠️ Triggerwarnung: Ehrlichkeit.

Mein Schatten hat 'ne Anzeige bekommen

In a long, sad American tradition, comics have been cancelled, arrested, and harassed for exercising their First Amendment rights. 1974's Lenny starring (the ironically now cancelled Dustin Hoffman) shows how far we've come and how much we've stepped back from progress. What differentiates tasteful subversive comedy from exploitative junk? Was Lenny Bruce a great comic, or was he trying too hard to make a point about censorship? Find out our thoughts here.

The Seven Criteria of Cancel Culture

Say it... you know what I mean. We are one and the same.

Fight Club x Cancel Culture

Bei Meinungsmonopol geht es um echte Diskussionen statt vorgefertigter Empörung. Robert und Sven reden über politische und gesellschaftliche Themen – mal ernsthaft, mal mit einem satirischen Augenzwinkern. Wir glauben nicht an die eine Wahrheit, sondern an die Kraft der Debatte.

Was wir nicht können: langweilige Meinungseinheit.
Was wir lieben: Widerspruch, Reibung und manchmal auch einfach gepflegten Unsinn.

Mr. Robot Head. Cyber anarchist. Retro futurist. Interstellar guitarist. Fresh out of the void & ready to rescue humanity from mediocrity and existential dread. Experimental rock, progressive metal, funk, soundscapes and everything in between. Instrumental. inspired by the tragedy that is: the human condition.  Perth, WA. 

PREVIOUS BIO:

I'm a guitarist and wanna be composer / songwriter- from Perth, Western Australia. I'm currently releasing a bunch of solo material as I have a backlog of older demos and also a new creative streak (thanks life). 

If you enjoy the following you might enjoy some of my work:

Devin Townsend, Porcupine Tree, Ghost, Metallica, Tool, Lofi, game and movie soundtracks, bots, retrofuturism, Eastern philosophy and spirituality, conspiracies (and truths) combined with unique storytelling, riffs or the matrix ...You might like what i put out.

Guess you could say it's prog rock, metal, atmospheric soundscapes, curated samples, synth melodies, stoner rock vibes and storytelling elements like samples and all that good stuff.  But a few killer solos in there too - and riffs. I like riffs....

You won't just see the final, polished product either. I'll release demos, phone memos, whatever - Along with the actual end result so you can take part in this musical journey with me.

That's enough about me. Enjoy the music, let me know what you like/don't like, and say hi over on my socials. Give some love to Code Red too while you're at it. Awesome local band that I miss playing in heaps. Check them out on Spotify or catch one of their upcoming shows here in Perth.

Christian. Rapper.
Christian + Rapper = Christian Rapper.
Christian Rapper ≠ One Thing.

Flinch, Then Ignite:  https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/shiitakeproducts/flinch-then-ignite

I built Shiitake Products because the world needed a home for beautiful nonsense and soul-splitting truth.

- Sometimes that looks like a dancefloor meltdown at 2am.
- Sometimes it’s a button that says “Mildly Okay Human.”
- Sometimes it’s a whispered hymn to grief.

It’s all real. It’s all me. This is my multiverse—and you’re invited.

Here, AI collides with human emotion to create music that actually means something.
From dark trap bangers to cinematic alt-rock anthems, from emo-folk confessionals to glitch-satire ballads—every track is a story, a mood, a moment.
Not built for algorithms.
Built to feel.

🎧 Genres? Trap. EDM. Alt-rock. Rap-rock. Folk. Comedy. Chaos.

🧠 Themes? Rage. Love. ADHD spirals. Existential dread. Healing. Heartbreak. Hope.

🎯 Mission? To punch through the noise—and hit something real.


🔥 Want your story turned into a song? I do that.

🎁 Every listen helps fund more sonic experiments, more weird merch, and more beautiful noise.
