Planet of the Apes 4Brains

Recently I undertook a one-off concert with my band The Good Hurt where we themed the visual side of the show on the movie The Planet of the Apes. By that I mean we dressed up in white boiler suits and had a French VJ (Emmanuelle) broadcast and remix the original movie onto our clothes [...]

Hip Hop (Part 1 of X) : A Miner 7th Revelation

Okay – so I’ve got to thinking about hiphop. What is the nature of the art form and what are the fundamental differences between how it’s done in the US vs. the UK. What’s real what’s hype.
I’ve decided that this is a multi parter…..so this is one of X.
I got to thinking about all [...]

Branding

A quick post …. I dislike the word branding as it pertains to companies trying to get you to buy their product or religion or whatever….
Branding, before marketeer muppets hi-jacked it, used to mean burning your logo into the ass of a animal with hot steel so that everybody knew who owned it.

I left my pimped USB game controller in SanFrancisco

I’m serious. I had it all ready to use as a lightsabre cum play start stop trigger augmentary physical groove device…..anyways I digresss…

Before my recent visit I was looking in on America from the eye of the teleivison and I see how dangerous that can be – in all [...]

Milkshakes, Apple Pie and Japanese Prison Camps

Today I felt splendid. I just finished the last mixes of my record ‘Scale’. Most of the morning and afternoon were spent getting things ready to crank the handle for duplication……along with sessions by Rashinal for another project called ‘The Elements’. I’ve been walking around breaking into smiles and feeling moderately euphoric. I’m sure it [...]
