The cosmic implications of being human, our relationship with nature, the meaning of the Archaic Revival, and what's really going to happen on December 21, 2012.
I love this Goddess of Peace by Shepard Fairey of Obey Giant and believe that a general raising of consciousness around the world is necessary for the survival of any form of humanity.
And I believe that music heals the world!
Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush in the same place, at the same time, without security present! Well, maybe with my own security detail. I could tell both those miserable creeps a thing or two about how they're wrecking the world.
I'd like to thank the artist Shepard Fairey of Obey Giant for his art. Buy the Make Art Not War poster or cards from Syracuse Cultural Workers or see loads and loads of Fairey's posters and other art at Obey Giant . I also thank Digital Blasphemy for the Cosmogony art on this page as well as the Hubble telescope site for the Orion Nebula picture. Lastly but so far from least, my fantastic wife, Laura and her design studio, Studio Strong , for a whole lot of help with design (not that I think that this page is up to her own high standards of graphic perfection!), HTML hacking, and the grooves!
I like a lot of music. At BlackMagicPlasticBullet I have listed 150 of my favourite albums — and discuss why that's not enough to take into account all the music I love.
Believe you me, there's a lot of other great stuff out there to hear. Always keep your ears open!
I'm treating my profile page as a sort of very, very, very slow motion radio station and featuring my old and new friends. G Corp are dubsters supreme who I've loved for ages — ever since I first heard their mix of Original Rockers' "The Underwater World of Jah Custeau"on Earthjuice — Ambient Dub Volume II back in 1993.
I watch about five movies a week from Netflix, down from the ten a week I used to watch in repertory theatres in the 1970s. I like foreign and independent films rather than Hollywood schlock.
Television? This is 2008! Who needs television? Well, Rupert Murdoch does, but that's another story.
I read a lot of books. "World Made By Hand" by James Howard Kunstler is the last one, a very human look at a small part of the world after the shit hits the fan.
Gandhi, James Brown, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Bob Marley, John Lennon, Timothy Leary, Terence McKenna. What they have in common is that they all stood for and expressed their own truth, sometimes at great personal cost.
