The Global Food System Is a Recipe for Mass Death / George Monbiot

This song was inspired by gangster and florist Charles Dean O'Banion (shot dead in his flower shop on November 10, 1924) and the long defunct Chicago punk bar named after him.

Blood On The Roses (remix)

Released on Linear Obsessional's free download label, my album The Terminal Beach was first conceived in the early 80's.  It is a personal story as much as an attempt to capture JG Ballard's short story.  

A man maroons himself upon a former nuclear test atoll in the Pacific.  The small landscape is festooned with concrete structures.  Lakes, bunkers and two thousand blocks.  Wrecked bombers and more structures than even Ballard gets time to write about.  A story written in the shadow of the cold war, it perfectly captured who and what I was in my early 20's.  Come with me here, and see the sights?
