Shock the Algorithm

Today we are mostly musing on hocus pocus and adding a little cereal box religion to taste.

In the never ending universe
Nothing there at all
Unaware yet dreaming
You'll hear me call

Though you don't remember
You've been here before
Time without a number
Rooms without a door

Take this gift and treasure it
A blend of pleasure and pain
You'll have no way to measure it
Before you're coming round again

Crying as you enter
I whisper in your ear
Live long and prosper
On this new frontier

As your light is fading
Life is on the wane
Have no fear of darkness
You'll be coming round again

Take this gift and treasure it
A blend of pleasure and pain
You'll have no way to measure it
Before you're coming round again

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Trapped Rat

When I was young I remember watching Bob Geldof of The Boomtown Rats on Top Of The Pops rip up a picture of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John from Grease. Summer nights had been at number 1 for seven weeks. The Rats had knocked it off to take the number one spot with Rat Trap. 
I was around 11 and thought this guy is so cool and the music and storytelling lyrics captivated me. 
This is the reason I wanted to be a frontman which lead on my journey of music from playing live at Birmingham’s Nec, releasing singles, albums on various labels and finally my last ever band gig selling out Ronnie Scott’s. 
These days I’m more of a bedroom rockstar recording remotely which suits me fine. It’s a young man’s game.
Trapped Rat is a continued story of Rat Trap and how in my head I thought Billy & Judy ended up 45 years later.
Yes I know it’s a long track but stick with the story as it’s a short story in song.
Noobly said it’s our Jungleland like Springsteen and I agree with him.
Hope you enjoy the journey because Rat Trap still remains one of my favourite all time tunes. 
And Geldof in his early work was a lyrical inspiration to me. 

V1
Billy rocks from side to side sitting in the darkness 
Hes listening to music that now makes him feel worthless 
The songs they remind him of those younger days 
When he thought he had no future 
And needed to change his ways 

Bridge pre chorus 
And Gorgeous  Judy was the only precious thing 
And he don’t see her no more 
Cause he’s a troubled thing 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

V2
Billy don’t leave the house only to go down the offey 
8 on the dot to buy cheap booze and backey 
He still pushes the button to cross that busy road 
He’s now in his early sixties and god he feels the cold 

(Bridge pre chorus )
As the youths are hanging around the yellow streets lights 
In years gone by he would have picked a fight 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

Chorus 
Your still  a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Your still a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Even in your old age x2



V3
Judy made a life with some hot shot lawyer
And her life with Billy is just something that annoys her
And when she arrives she pictures the Italian cafe 
It’s new bricks and mortar shes now visiting her and Billy’s daughter 

V4
Judy now in the bracket of middle classes 
And now drinks her coffee in double walled borosilicate glasses
And now 50p is  the least of her worries & cares 
She lives the highlife with panache grace &  flair

(Bridge pre chorus)
She don’t speak of Billy and nights spent together 
She as her own family from the land of never never 
She knows the rats 
She know the people 
It’s not hard for Judy  to decide these days
These days 

Chorus

Ash to ash
Dust to Dust
Here we go again
I pray to god but I swear
I don't think his listening
I fear the man in the mirror
worse than the Boogie Man!!
I held my mothers rosary inside my hand
Baby if you really know who I am
I don't think you would want to hold really my hand!!

London Bridge has fallen down!!
The sky has turned to red!!
The oceans fill with blood!!
I am the Monster here!!
The mask has fallen down!!
I'm the monster now!!
I hope you run!!

'courage'

Moments often can not be rehearsed. 
And we're left wishing that we could reverse
time to change our ways.
Oh, what I've come to learn with age
is I've had it in myself this whole time. Courage. 

Strength to walk away without resolve.
Pain that dissipates when I'm absolved
solely from the blame.
Yet, how quickly truths can change
when it's rearranged to suit the needs of all. 

I've been living in an opened cage.
My freedom is my own yet I'm afraid
to spread my wings and fly
from all the years I've lived this lie.
But the time has come for me to break these chains.

courage

Doing it now is suicide
that's why I must have tried
but I want to tear it 
from my shoulders

this fucking misery contraption
that I'm mangled within.
Only then could I allow
such a joy in again.

Drowned by the pure.
Injected with grace.
Force my face.
Buried in the mud. 

To feel the flowers love
as it blooms through my ribcage
just so it can show me
what to do with the light.

Words by Riley Robinson

Misery Contraption

A twist on the 'Appearance Medicine' phrase.

APPEARANCE MEDICINE

Tripping round some corridors
Nothing but neon lights
Floor polish and hidden voices
There you are before my eyes
It’s appearance medicine
Like a hormone injects in a vein
It’s appearance medicine
A face that lights a flame
S O B and tachy heart when lightning seeds a body start
That jumps a gate to permeate my actual need 
For you with me - today

This hospital’s a restaurant
Medicine is the menu
God’s own surgeon shaped the face
That walks me to the moon
It’s appearance medicine . . .

Ah-huh Ah Huh da da da da da da da da
It’s appearance medicine
It’s appearance medicine

Everyday it’s much the same
Going on that ward round
Floor polish and hidden voices
Soon my heart it’s on the pound





Appearance Medicine

Cast of Characters:
Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender HSS Telecaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, & production
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass with a plectrum

This song began as one of Joe's catchy songs, originally written with all the instruments. He & SoundCloud musician Michele Ansani wrote the lyrics about becoming a musician. Joe offered this song to Josh who immediately shared it with the EC gang.
Ken went to work first, adding his driving, excting drums. Tez was up next with his clever fills you hear throughout the first half of the song. Stephen then matched Tez's energy with guitar fills in the second half of the song. Then Mark stepped up with his innovative piano solo, using an arpeggiator to get a kind of mechanical sound that matched the AI theme. Finally, one of our resident pros, Stephen, expertly mixed and mastered it. 
This is the first song we've ever done with Joe, & don't expect it to be the last. We all really enjoyed putting it together, in no small part because Joe is such a competent, receptive, & gracious collaborator. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by Michele Ansani & Joe Stroffolino
Music by Joe Stroffolino (@joseph-stroffolino)

When I was thirteen I picked up my first guitar
it was my mother's, it only had one nylon string 
I tried to play it like a rock star
I learned to play the Coca-Cola jingle
So I could teach the world to sing
When I was fourteen, I put on six new strings
I learned to play Beatles, I learned a Bob Dylan song
I sounded out of tune but I tried to carry on
At fifteen I wrote my first original tune 
So bad it sounded like it might have been written by a baboon
When I was sixteen, I got a new guitar for my birthday
The metal strings sawed through my fingers 
But I continued to play
And the calluses formed & every day I learned a brand new chord
I was obsessed with that guitar & I never grew bored.
I wrote songs every day & most of them were a mess
But I believed that through hard work, I could achieve success
Malcom Gladwell wrote a book that said it takes ten thousand hours
To become an expert at your craft
(“Chorus”)
But now all it takes is two commands & an enter
And in two minutes you have ten versions of the same damn new song,
You just have to choose the type
folk, rock, rap, pop, metal, jazz, trap or blues.
You don't even need to write the lyrics, 
your push a few buttons let the AI choose.
And people will think your songs are great even though you didn’t write or play a single note.
When I was 20, I did my first concert, it was time
it occurred in a village square
there were four cats all friends of mine
I was still using the plectrum & sometimes I got the chords wrong
at thirty I finally wrote what I thought was a decent song
It had a very well thought out structure
And a catchy vibe & beat
It was overly verbose but when I played it people tapped their feet
In my forties I stopped wasting my time
Work was more fun I was doing just fine
I had a steady paycheck that could feed me 
And the record companies didn’t need me
In my fifties once again my musical juices started flowing
I bought the necessary equipment 
I was eager to get going
I recorded all my strumming & saved it onto my PC
The internet & technology were advancing rapidly
I took those special songs I’d written of which I was most proud
Posted them Instagram, You Tube, Tik Tok & SoundCloud
I asked myself if a tree falls in the forest & no one’s around
Does it make a sound?
(repeat “Chorus”)

AI Sucks (The Eclectic Collective)

at the disco
goin’ all the way
with a speedball
on an empty day

i wonder if i stopped my cryin’
i wonder if i stopped now

crooked halo
all you’ve got today
your dependents
better back away

i wonder if i stopped my cryin’
i wonder who i’d be now

in the moonlight
goin’ all the way
to the river
gonna watch for day

i wonder if i stop my crying’
i wonder what i’d see now

Lyrics

Two words
Us all
One voice

One love the call
Your choice

I’m with the birds
Dissillusioned
But with hope

New verse
Curbs the confusion
‘Clears the throat


Cruel Creed
The cryptic lier feed
Talk to choke

Two words
One love
Your choice

Any day now
We’ll all decide
Hope must survive
Any day now
We’ll all take time
To look inside and help someone out



Recently I think I've realised that if we became a race of people that are positive and observe each other instead of control... We'll be evolving... I've also considered we just need to be this for ourselves as individuals and great.. Einsteins perfect mind world made for 'me' appears and all is fine! But that's head in the sand. Of course we can feel a perfect world... Doesn't make it the real world 

We can't quite see that utopian observer state for humanity yet... There's too much division! So let's amplify that love around the hate in whatever way we can for the greater good. I believe the greater good is us partaking in evolution. We follow that... Or something fitter replaces us

One Love
