Some videos and music I made messing about with my mac, a drum machine app on my Iphone plugged into a bass amp and a MicroKorg synth plugged into a distortion pedal and run through a fender tube amp.
I cant really call these songs I would call them journeys into the way im feeling about the current world that surrounds me. I say journey because when i start i dont know how or where ill end up, im not really paying attention and its all completely improvised.

Undone
As he lay there surrounded by friends and family, unaware of they're company, his drug addleded brain had never betrayed him to this extent. Slowly dying at at the age of 63 was never his intention he had once youthfuly exclaimed "ill be dead by 25, anything after that is pointless" his memories deny him access to past lives and loves. He cannot speak or hear or even see but just before his time slowly a quietly he whisperd her name......................

See you at the bitter end..........
A Life, a death
a knife in the back
a Love, a breath
Breath with me
hearts beat in time
tears drip like blood on white walls
a scour, a hate, a dream
fantasy forsaken I was mistaken
When awoken I was mislead into a dreamworld
Mislead to believe
to believe the truth?
the lies?
the hate ?
I never believed the hate...... and never pretended to.
a loss, a gain
a new chapter of a failed past
what's next
me? you? him or her
Beginners luck will drive you to place heavy bets
To old, To young stupid and dumb
Its all fun
its all fun
its not fun
ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blood tears lies and bruises heart shaped contortion of counter class dreams
Failed lucid unpredictable dreams
Dreams of fallen heroes
as I was one of yours
and you of mine
Love, Hate, Sex and Lies

WITCH HOUSE
Ive been listening to some of these groups/Bands/Artists for a couple of months and thought i should share a few of my favs so here ya go.
Loving this slowed down hip hop influenced sound it gets to my head. Its been labelled witch house but we all know how much music journos and media types like a good label on something they cant describe.
Its like heavily minimal slowed down hip hop with a goth influence but thats me, some might say its industrial influenced, i just love
Might put a short mixtape together at some point and ill definitely link some of mixtapes ive been checking out soon.
More to come on this subject.
Enjoy xx

I am the Devil and I am here to do the devils work.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=71iRMXG2y_A&feature=related
This is the music video of house of 1000 corpses.
ought to the screen in House of 1000 corpses. Unlike the first film which was a Bizzare and surreal twist on the standard horror movie cliche of 4 lost teens with a broken down car being stalked and prayed on, the devils rejects focuses more on the film aspects rather than the artistic style, darkly comic and funny at times with more dialect it is more a movie than a cult horror music video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB4QICDYC_g
Im not sure if these links will work but the one above shows the run rabbit run scene from house of 1000 corpses and is chilling
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGSw3af2uFw&feature=fvwrel
This link show baby firefly Lip syncing to marilyn monroes i wanna be loved by you.
baby firefly is such an interesting and very funny character
House of 1000 corpses has some amazing scenes but you tube wont let me put them on here so heres a few of the best from devils rejects including the greatest ending to any film EVER.
The links dont work sorry copy n paste if you wanna see em theyre well good.

GROUPLOVE - Never trust a happy song
Grouplove are a los angeles residing band who collectively met in Greece while vocalist and keyboard player Hannah Hooper was taking up an art residency there. She travelled to crete with lead singer Chris Zucconi, the pair had only met a matter of days before the trip. At the residency they met Sean Gadd who is originally from london and Two long time friends from los angeles Rick Rabbin and Andrew Wessen. They spent the summer writing songs and living the high life before eventually departing, it would be another year before the incarnation of Grouplove was formed.
Im very happy to say I was at GROUPLOVE's first UK gig as its not so often a band like this come along let alone play such a small venue. The folky five piece who say they were brought together by fate are bringing back hippy love with an edge. On first listen you automatically liken them to acts such as arcade fire as well as the lo fi summer sounds that seem to be playing out of every indie kids stereo.
We Call It Life...... Oh Yeaa Thats What We Call It....... When We Cant Call It Hell.
With songs like first single 'Colours' which plays on hallucinogenic metaphors "So I pull the switch the switch the switch inside my head and I see black, black, green and brown, brown brown and blue, yellow, violets, red" and tendencies towards madness with discontent towards the modern world "so mistress, mistress have you been up to the roof? he shot him self, self there's blood on the wall coz he couldn't face the truth" the last thing you would label them is hippie, but as the song builds to a climax it becomes a life philosophising mad rush that draws you in and spits you out as it breaks down.
Other songs like 'naked kids' which is a joyous ode to living your dreams freely and a day with friends at the beach are equally as invigorating, 'Dont say oh well' is another more upbeat song about understanding life and the things it brings, "I told my band mates, they are my soul mates" is sung sincerely in a un-cringy way which I think is a testament to they're songwriting ability.
The whole band seemed so down to earth the lead singer christian zucconi even plugged this blog which was nice of him.
Playing through tracks off the Grouplove Ep including some of my favs gold coast and getaway car these eccentric dreamers mesmerized the crowd but it was current single and last song 'Colours' that showed they have a unique, interesting sound and they write amazingly catchy tunes of pure genius.
I would descirbe them as something fresh with a natural spark and instant likability much like the band theyre on tour supporting Los campesinos unique, original yet slightly mad.
Love the video to colours aswell ahh LOVE LOVE LOVE this band get out there and buy they're 7" or just download the GROUPLOVE EP worth every penny.
