marooned on space rock island

About Me

I am also known as SPACELEY - Welcome to my landing zone. *//SCI~FI~N~IF~ICS....* I am award winning visual artist (painter) and a professional musician. I am also a musicologist (collector-researcher-compiler), a recording engineer and producer; a sound effects creator (Foley), a vocalist, a songwriter and composer. I have over 8 years of studio experience.
My main musical spacecraft (band) has been the Guild Navigators for about the past 13 years, which I sing and play guitar for as well as write most of the music.
I was/am also a member of a high speed rock n roll band called My White Bread Mom (1993-1997), (and its psychedelic offshoot My Space Bread Mom (1996-1997))
My White Bread Mom has six vinyl releases on various independent labels; and the first electro industrial punk group from the Chilli-town area called "Gouge" (1991-1994)) and it's current incarnation, Scattered Planets. Doug (of Scattered Planets) and I have been collaborating and or just doing shows together since about 1991. My first live performance was with the band the Agency (1990) in Chillicothe, Ohio, at the Chillicothe Armory (City Park)
I can honestly and openly profess to being one of the first punk rockers from around these parts. My punk rock attitude dates back to the early 80's. Punk rock does not = liberalism in my oppinion. It equates to musical independence, violence, anger, reaction to oppresion and other societal or situational restraints/confines (like society or political correctness) as well as having a strong d.i.y. ethic (do it yourself). Punk does not equal or support politcal correctness in ANY form. Punk attitude can manifest itself in many other genres (ie. Country, Glam), Punk rock music, as its own style, is typically loud and fast, typically non-corporate, (ie. Ramones, Dead Kennedys). Although the lines are often blured with both of these distinctions. "Alternative" is not PUNK, but rather is punk influenced or often called "Post-Punk", but Alternative has been around for ever. Enough about that already.
I own up to a variety of many differing social and political beliefs and current thoughts on things, some of which may be considered by some to be in the "conservative and liberal" milieu, depending upon the topic. I dont vote for parties, I try to vote based on my feelings and information on the differing issues. Which perhaps could make me politically independent.

Spaceley

CMDR.SPACELEY of the Guild Navigators!! An original sci fi story about commander spaceley...
Let me tell you a story of such horror and drama that you may reconsider wanting to read any furthur...But, if you must live without blissful ignorance read on. If you stare into the darkness long enough or use your computer interface device over the space below you will reveal "the Watcher". This timeless being is one of many that watches over humanity from the cracks and shadows that split it's world from yours and holds the earth only inches away from a perilous self disastrous policy of eventual anhihilation... As you may fear, and as truth be told, the earth is on the verge of perilous destruction and the Watcher waits silently, some warn us, some just wait with knashing teeth and unquenchable thirst to consume souls (or possibly just all our energy and resources).
What, may you ask is "the watcher" (besides a really cool Hawkwind/Motorhead song?). The Watcher is an age old sentient being, once of light, but doomed to dwell between hell and the darkness of space. It was cast from the farflung realms of the heavens eons ago and tried tirelessly to assume dominance over all on this particular tiney world called Earth; hiding behind the curtain of reality. Camoflaged by skepticism and our psuedo analytical penchant for explaining such things away for sake of feeling safe, we as a species have evolved into ambivelant,fat and lazy creatures,that lustfully wander around, with few thoughts except for money and food and sex and cool cars that guzzle horribly outdated fossil fuels, all day long, every day, until its soaked up and the atmosphere is beyond repair. Our spacey "friends" are just leisurely hanging around up there, waiting for us to dispose of ourselves, aimlessly trying to find more weopons to hurt them. Well, This may be your only chance to gaze closely into its eyes, for this is the safest view you will ever have (and the longest).
I was a once commisioned knight of the stratophere, defender of Earth, against these "lords of light", or rather lords of air and space, bastard offsprings of Nephilimic/Human genetic hybrids.
Your assumption is right! Yes this is truley an alien of sorts, a minion and once an "angel" out of the pantheon of your mythological beings, decendents and familiers of that one which you refer to as "Lucifer the light bearer". This shadowy figure is a seducer of the innocent and the ignorant as well as a collector of specimens useful and scientific (of sorts. Be forewarned, for the devil rarely sleeps.
These beings can live to be thousands of years in age and are the controllers of the cavernous depths, the oceanic underworlds and more than often, the space and sky around your planet. They are luminous devils, shadowy mists, swimming in air, dematerializing faster than anything we know. They are usually harmless. They are protectors of the Earth and monitors of everything we do. Some are programmers of the false savior machine or what you call the Beast that is rising and will attempt to proclaim dominance and sieze power over all the Earth. The creature is called "Conundrum" ( visualy charachterized as "Cthulu, by H.P.Lovecraft). Perhaps you have been experiencing a reoccurance of numbers recently like 666 or 333 or 555. This is a sign post to destruction. A warning from the infinite dweller. There is a war raging in the sky and dimensions that surround your world. The Reagan era "Star Wars" space weapons are useless against these creatures. We have plasma beams, superfast projectiles, sonic radar waves, lazers...they dont do much.
Some of "The Watchers" are at war with others... A race of humanoid, angelic beings, from nearby star systems, who may care more to help humanity than most government agencies that I know. I am merely a messenger, a harbinger of what will come, to warn you of the possible doom! So, now you know. The stakes are sharp, time is short, and the skies are pregnant with gastly forces of your greatest dreams and...
your worst NIGHTMARES!i!i
I, your hero, your savior machine, your best hope for a world full of nothing. Many will call me a monster, an ASTRO ZOMBIE, a necrotic scourge to the corrupt interplanetary federation...But if you must know the truth, I am the Leader of the Sci-Fi Space Rock Bandeleros the GUILD NAVIGATORS
and we played a gig with this band..
