in the Czech Republic most Czech have decided that God does not exist, so these great public spaces are empty, mostly not used at all, just for the tourists mostly.

Over the last 2 days i traveled to 6 Czech towns and booked what i hope to be 5 shows for May, seems like the best way to get shows, is to get off my but, and on the trains and visit the venues i can. Its great to visit the old gothic towns, train fares are not so much around Czech. The above pic is from Usti station, quite industrial city.

three seasons in hell

I also watched this Czech film a couple of weeks back, good film. Czech with English sub-tittles, it shows an interesting time in Czech/Slovark history, just after the second world war, time when communist government took over in Czech. The story is based on a true story (as i understand things), the wiki page is a little slim on info for this film. Was interesting to see how communism suffocated the arts scene here, though. Many artists at the time probably thought that the communists social reform, would be good for the arts. I reckon this film shows it as it most likely is/was. Its interesting that in Czech, many of the people that were famous during communism, still are.

There will be blood

I watched this film back a couple of weeks (have been meaning to write it in blog), this film is one of the better i have seen in a while, a good film to watch on the big screen. Tells story of an oil tyrant, the film is long, yet did not get slow for me. Its interesting watching how the whole oil thing happens, showing the process of oil exploration from the early years, in the US. The story is kind of grim though, little on the dark side, politics, religion, family, faith and an oil pipe line. Daniel Day-Lewis plays the main character, man obsessed with oil.

the cure is what

Maybe i have spent to longer time far far from the mirror of the Budha, all things being connected. I need to do a retreat soon.

start to make new album-series of production recording

In the next weeks i’m going to choose around 12-15 tracks to record.. get the tempos right, do some rehearal and then take into a studio. What studio and what musicians to record with?

why play music

I was thinking, why i stay with the gig of music, i started to look back through some clips.. this one You Am Ithis one the Sunny Boys. Sure this stuff don’t seem so much now, with so much production, yet still great songs. I remember when a song would hit the waves and i’d listen again and again, these two songs are cool in their own way, both ten years apart and bands from Sydney.
