Black & White Photographs

Black & White Photographs, I’ve always loved them. Which is why ive added a new photography section on the paganfreak website. I like all kinds of photography, but there is something about the black & white medium that makes me sit up & pay attention. I think perhaps its the shading that seems more enhanced in black & white than is expressed in colour pictures. Not to say that I dislike colour photo’s, which I shall also be adding at a later date. Anyway, feel free to take a look comments are welcome.windswept

Busy going nowhere?

So anyhooo, been busy recording, remixing stuff to eventually upload at paganfreak.net, whilst popping down to St Pauls OLSX  & dealing with stuff in the personal Realm..ie, birthdays,hosp visits, dental apps.  Dayum! Oh & remembered  to change the weekly..(more like monthly) track.  Enjoy 🙂

Ancient Equipment

So anyhoo, the main amp I use in my home studio went tits up today!! There is nout worse than when your equipments pretty lights work, but its main reason for existing doesn’t. It wasn’t a flash hardcore amp, in fact it was reasonably priced…but it worked..it was a work horse…wasn’t flash but lasted for years, I’m not one for labels.. so I wont name it. We all have pieces of equipment that we love, regardless of how others may rate it. this particular Amp  was simplistic & straight to the point..no distracting bells & whistles. I shall miss its simplicity & usefulness.  Maybe  that equipment was due for an update???, However, I reckon if you have gear that does exactly what you require of it, you don’t need to replace it all the time….Obviously in regards to my amp….I may as well  upgrade, as I now  need a replacement…BLEAH!!

>Occupy London Stock Exchange

>I ment to update this blog at the weekend, but sadly didn’t have time. Oh
well better late than never. My friend & I didn’t get to St Pauls till quite late
in the day, so no didn’t aee Julian Assange or hear him speak. On arrival
found that the police were blocking the road. However, a nice chap told us
to nip round a back street to where we could get through police lines &
into the Demo. Wasn’t that many Tents erected at the time, though that
had changed before we left later on that evening. Overall the atmosphere
was good, only a couple of scuffles when the police lines started to begin
their kettling manovers, moving in & enclosing people into a smaller &
smaller space. However, people sitting down row upon row, seemed to
stop them from making the enclosure very small. The Police tactic of the
day was to spend a couple of hours not letting anyone in or out, then a
couple of hours letting people in & out. So it wasn’t just a case of trapping
people for hours on end. Contrary to many of the rightwing comments I
have seen flying about the internet stating that the protesters are all
unwashed workshy spongers. The protesters we met are people that have
come together, from all spectrums of society, who have had enough of a
failing global economic system. A System that does not work to give
security or a decent standard of living for the majority of humanity. Neo
Liberal Capitalism has continually shown itself to be a system that works
for the few at the cost of the many. It is evolving in such a ways as to begin
the creation of a Global Feudal Society. A system that privatises profit &
power (for the few) & socialises debt & poverty (too the many). My friend & I cannot stay at the occupation site, however we intend to keep on on
visiting the occupation whenever we can for as long as we can. My hope
is that others will do the same,in regards to all the occupation sites across the UK & where they are taking place around the world, as this will keep numbers up & will not let the impact of this important Global protest fade away.

Finally a Big Shout Out to those people who are on the Jarrow to London March(another social protest not seen or heard much in the mainstream press. This march began 75 years after the original march of October 1936. It is a march for jobs & will be arriving In London on November the 5th ending in a rally at Trafalgar Square.

No politics here…well not much..

This pagan386 blog will concern itself with  my work on the paganfreak.net website &  other posts regarding  Arts & Entertainment  that I have seen, heard, etc.  I shall still update occassionally  We’re all Monkeys , which will still run as the blog for my political ramblings.

The three posts below this are imported from we’re all monkeys as they are more suited to this Blog.

 

>The Great British Whitewash 2011

>The Great British Whitewash

What a Bloody whitewash

Phone hacking (illegal)..isnt a problem, the `incestuous’ relationship between Politicians,Police hierarchy & media isnt a problem?

This is part of a collective problem in the UK

Politicians & Police are supposed to be PUBLIC SERVANTS..this means they serve the public, It’s an important point to understand. So i’ll repeat it

PUBLIC SERVANTS = SERVE THE PUBLIC

That’s us oiks by the way, y’know, those of us that work hard (when we can get employment) & pay our full taxes, & not use loop holes (heck could we ever earn enough) to hide money off shore.

As for the press, Murdoch wants to own a paper, no problem, wants to own a tv station..again no problem.

Murdoch wants to own a majority of news print in uk, wants to have majority in tv, satalite or internet ISP platform in the uk. Well that is not only a big bias problem, its also a monopoly.

Yet throughout all this, we see in all the media apologist for for news corp & neoliberalism capitalism policies which allow for this corporate corruption to keep churning on & on

Yes that even includes The Guardian

A Joke on the British public

>Website edits & Reading

>Been busy going through tunes ive created over the pass decade & have uploaded eight tunes under the heading of “I wanna eat your space cake” over @
Paganfreak.net. The tunes in question were created at various times over the past ten years & a bit dancey & a bit spacey.
Am currently working on some new stuff, but as yet have no idea when i’ll be uploading them. Have to admit things been on a bit of slow in the musical direction of late.This is due to me being lazy with my home studio set up. Have some hardware configurations to play around with & also since Christmas 2010, ive been re reading some classics; Dorian Grey, Cranford, Great Expectations, Samuel Pepys diary, vile bodies, the Nightwatch & all the Vampire Chronicals books, to name a few.
I am one of those people who can dissapear into books for days on end if allowed.

 

Peace xx

As for blogging about politics, both UK & Worldwide, its just far too depressing to even begin really. Hence, today im not going to, in fact I may just ignore all news bullitens altogether. I’ll think of it as a “Stating the bleeding obvious Bull shitting” break.

Peace xx

>21ST Century Customer service;
A)Wait at least 20 mins, someone answers, cant help you/english is painfully obviously a second language.
B) They promise to call back within 24 hrs, They do, just to say Im calling you within the 24hr call back time,cant help you.
C)Answers I cant help, try/you need to call this number.which; Ca) doesnt work; Cb) is the wrong dpt. pls call again.(dead tone)
D)Ringtone, then you get to listen to the whole of Henry the VIII fav tune green Sleeves..then back to B & C

The above WILL happen in no particular order

Modern Tech, used by corporations to piss you off 🙂
