  I just read that the band is going to be in my house Feb.29th ! Can't wait !

Hello All,

I have launched my own website, its sort of a digital artist management tool.  I find and discover information that indie musicians and DIY artists can use to sustain a career in music without a record label :) I attend Berklee College of Music in Boston and they have taught me everything I know and are 100% indie and diy academia, best learning experience of my life!

www.ohkera.com :) Enjoy

what does one say on these things? i dunno but i'll begin with my rant and perhaps  i'll find my voice along the way. to be able to express my thoughts and sentiments with a little more clarity and focus, instead of all these random thoughts running about my head, jockeying for position, wanting to come out in the form of verbal expression only to be surpressed by self, fleeting or lingering somewhere in there.

well as with most people these days, things are tough. i find myself for the first time at home alone. not that i have ever stayed home alone ever. this time, i am alone because my wonderful wife just started working at her new job. and i here on the couch, freaking out. you see i had a little accident recently, which cost me the use of my right hand. being that i have worked in the warehouse industry for almost 20 years, i now find myself unable to work. lord knows i've tried to return, tried to get into paperwork until i can make a recovery from this, but to no avail.

we tried to make things happen for ourselves. you see we had our own little bookstore recently (Cliff Notes Bookstore). it was a long held dream of ours. we both had worked for another local bookstore, who over time became more and more about corporate identity and market domination, that they eventually lost their soul. we left struggled and still do to this very day. but managed, with a little help from our friend richard, who i'll get more into detail about later, started our own bookstore.

to make a long story short, we held on for two years. we are in fact still in the process of cleaning our books and stuff out of the store still. it was a great little store, i will miss it. but you can scratch one thing off my bucket list, and owning our bookstore was one. times are a changin'

Any idea how it works?  Do they email you a link the day of?  Or is there a link on their site?  Will their tour page update?  Anyone?

Thanks

The site does not give a time, does anyone know when they go on sale?

Please check out some of my original music and covers :)

Darwin is an Album by B.M.S. (Banco del Mutuo Soccorso) dated 1972. Even if made of single songs it is in fact a unique song describing the evolution of creation, starting from the birth of planet earth. Lyrics match music so beautifully, I wish there was a way to convey the poetry and delicacy of lyrics.

If your not familiar with them I'd suggest you listen to this tracks when you have some spare time, close your eyes and let music take you back in time, million of years back in time.

Once you got familiar with the sound read the lyrics (below) and then watch a few videos available on YT and fall in love with them .

"L'Evoluzione"

Try, try thinking a little different
nothing was made by great gods
The creation created itself
Fiber cells heat and energy.
Rotates the earth in a cloud
Swollen limbs she tends to the heat.
Oh the mother is ready, she will deliver
Already raises her womb
she wants a child and will get one
Son of the soil and electricity.

Gray layers of lava and coral
humid skies without color:
here the world is breathing
mosses and lichens green sponges of the earth
act as a greenhouse to the shoot that will be.

The sea vomits unformed beings
pushed into heaps on putrid beaches
the land is home to flocks turbid
crawling on their similar they rise
and time will change their flaccid bodies
into forms useful to survive.

A miserable sun fades the green
among young bracken loaded with spores
and free sounds move in a circle
acoustic spirals in the virgin air
Me fool still believing
those who tell me that the flesh is dust.

And if in the fossil skull of an ancestral
I rediscover the forms that look like me
then Adam can no longer exist
and seven days are just a few to create
and now tell me if my genesis
was the other men or Quadrumana.

Adam is dead now and my genesis
is not of men but of Quadrumana.

High, drawing arabesques a cormorant
strides above gorses and the sea
the sun now knows who he must heat.

"750.000 anni fa: l'amore"

Already the water swallows the sun

Your breast dances while you run towards the valley

with your herd to the pools.

Come and quench your dry lips

Clear body with wide hips

I'm in the shadows, I'm here to watch you

To possess you, possess you, possess you

 

And I hold my breath

if you saw me you'd run away

So I sink my nails into the ground

red clay  covers my face

but I want to hold you for a moment

Here on my chest

but I can't, you'd run away from me

I can not possess you, possess you

Even for once.

 

If  you were really mine

I'd dress your breast with water drops

then under your feet

veils of wind and leaves I would lay

Clear body, wide hips

I would take you to the green fields and dance

under the moon, I'd dance with you.

 

I know the mind wants

but the inert lips can not say a thing

The sky became dark

you're already leaving, stay and drink some more

Really mine, may it be true,

But who am I, an ape

without reasoning, without reasoning, without reasoning

an ape, you'd run away

an ape an ape with no reasoning

you'd run away, you'd run away.

speak out wherever you are!

is humankind really falling apart? i would like to be optimistic and say that in the past we were never in a peaceful blossomy situation that now we can dream at; if we have the pleasure delighting ourselves with the pink, glorious pages of history, we will find the same old troubles we are confronting today. actually to consider a moment in time an historical fact, it only needs to attribute to it one (or more) of the following activities: fighting for cows, sheep,land, women, gold, oil; fucking the wrong woman, sheep, business; eating, drinking, sleeping and fucking better than yesterday, know everything about all your neighbour's fortunes and misfortunes and get your hands in to whatever is really none of your business. (if there are any aspects that i forgot mentioning, feel free to do so)

so, if we already was in that chapter more than once, then why the heck don't we learn from our mistakes and start changing the way we do things around the world?

because human's development along time has nothing to do with rainbow philosophy, harmony with nature or whatever nice people would prefer to read in the history books. the only developments were for the sake of our own comfort (for example, everything we invented was created so we will enjoy ourselves like no other creature on Earth ((i don't say that it's a bad thing, everyone who enjoys life should burn in hell! but i can picture human happiness without some of the million things that surround us, sometimes annoy us and exhaust the soul out of us)))

of course, we had in the past people that thought differently than others and become subjects of outrageous punishments, so i feel lucky to be part of these times. but today, if i ask, everybody seems unhappy to inhabit this grouchy society and everybody is going to give a pretty damn good reason for their uncontentments. and in present tense (so i won't repeat "today") we don't live in the same fear or lack of knowledge like in the old witch's days, we have more freedom and possibility to change the way the world goes, but still, we don't do anything. we only feast, reproduce and store energy for nothing, allowing manipulation to grow in our minds, to create the feeling that we are not able to live without human life's privileges, to create the feeling that we are not important, we are like everybody else and totally incapable to do something, that only special people with special powers will save the world, people with important names.

but that is shit.  you are special, because you can think for yourself beautiful thoughts that others may not think of, or others won't express . everybody is important, everybody can create a revolution, because revolutions are not created by sea-lions(only in disney's animations), they are created by men and women just like us that weren't afraid to say what they from society(and by "revolution" i don't mean ((necessary)) an armed conflict, i mean, simply, change). people that made a difference didn't carry the ring of power, weren't approached by an oracle who told them they are destined to change generations. they were boring joes and garys that shit and eat (probably the other way around, sorry) just like us.

so, my basic idea for today, boys, girls and undecided forms from out of space is to pursuit whatever you wish for the society to change for you. and remember this guys http://www.life.com/gallery/22806/provocative-political-protests#index/0 are our brothers and sisters of species. nothing much, nothing less.

  sleep tight, tomorrow the sun will still be in the sky, lighting up your day (if you don't leave near the polar circles)!

PS: it would be easy if we would have remained children, but i have the impression that we just think we are grown-ups. we are children that take the game to seriously.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfG_G2O2q40

I hold no knowledge of informations/numbers, only the test of faith and trust

is this enough to take me where I want to go

is this enough to pursue my dream and hope

will I be left in a no man's land

or be caught when I land

Adiòs Garcìa, bye to the fat stupid man.

I didn't get to choose, they threw me here

And when I woke up it was dark

that's why I'll have to kill you Garcìa

There was a time when dad dreamed for me

Mummy has given up babies

I've got to do something good, can't let them down

For sitting at the king's table

I'll have to kill you Garcìa.

For you are too fat to see

If we were all eating this wouldn't be happening.

I'm no better than you, I just stand on the other side Garcìa.
