Speed.

The Dark

It's 1:40am on sunday morning.

When you're tired you go into kind of a trance. Your body ticks over barely but your mind starts to do things it wouldn't normally do. It's almost as if you revert to a childlike state. Colours seem more vivid and shapes seem more interesting. The trails left on window panes by impetuous raindrops become interesting suddenly and the sound of the rain striking the building you're in becomes hypnotic and peaceful.

Amber lamplight has the effect of dowsing the thoughts running in your head and the way the narrow wavelight of light emitted by the sodium tubes cuts through the early morning haze makes an instant connection with me but im not quite sure what that connection is.

I like the night but mostly I like the things that shine that little bit brighter in the dark.

Just a short little thing

Yet another piece of new music. Just a little phrase really. Comments welcome.

Nick Griffin and the state of politics

Nick Griffin was today pelted with eggs by anti-facism protesters.

While I would agree with the sentiment of covering him with various farm yard animal expulsions this is a democracy and the fact of the matter is that the BNP put up candidates and won seats. They have gained legitimacy. They represent someone.

The Lib Dem leader was quoted as saying it was 'sickening' that the BNP won seats and I fully agree with that. It is not, however, the fact that the BNP exists or that the BNP spouts its hatred. It is the fact that people VOTED for the BNP.

A tenet of democracy is that anyone can speak. It is, as the greek roots suggest, the voice of the people. If the people say that they want a facist government then that must be respected just as much as if they was a liberal government or a conservative government.

Let the man speak and then let us expose his nonesense for the hatred that it is. Throwing eggs at him just gives him ammunition to throw back in form of a 'political elite silencing the people'. If we are to defeat facism we must defeat it by democracy and free expression. Not by hurling embryos at him.

Added a rough vocal track. Thoughts?

Another new song

No vocals for this yet.



Lyrics reallly get on my nerves since I can't write for shit.

Any feedback would be welcome
