songs without labels

September 30, 2008

its interesting how the free world is. i mean if you make your art free, and everyone says, yes that is ok to make it free. then its free. yet then if what is free suddenly has a value then everyone comes for their stake of what was free. yet when something is free different laws apply, so when the person that says hey thats cool that that is free, turns and gets angry, what to think? really the best thing to do is make all the noise yourself. as soon as you make any noise with anyone else, then you need a license to use that noise again. i never understood the extream reality of copyright law until what i created had a commercial value. art is really in a situation where only published art can be used. its really not possible for big corporations to use content, i mean how to clear all the mess up. how can the film be sure that all rights are cleared unless the film understands the legal process that pertains to that company. its a catch 22 situation. the corporations want to use free and cheap content, yet really they have to settle for published content, cause at the end of the day what is free, as soon as it has a value everyone wants a part of what is free very quickly. sure they say, go do what you want with it. yet when it comes to crunch everyone wants their peace of the pie even if it means that the pie goes in the bin cause they can’t get a peace of the pie. people can complain about creative commons licenses, yet really these licenses are just for the people, yet when the people are using these licenses they are not using published content. and thats the problem with the CC license from the publishers point of view. yet even when an artist tries to cross the art over, make what he paid for free, a copyright claim can come from any aspect of the production. the rights organizations have all over this tied up as they are the ones that regulate how things are paid out. so if the artist does not agree with the rights organization view of who owns what, what alternative does the artist have. now consider that the rights organization APRA for instance, has a system where for every 500 dollars that an artist/publisher collects they get an extra vote. this means in effect the publishers dictate all policy. so really the artist can only make things free that the artist creates all alone. even if i was to play my own song in the films recording studio, the film company could not be 100 percent that i did not go and take the song from someone else. with copyright law extending and the price for use of content going up and rights organizations outside the US thrusting blanket licenses on companies like youtube and myspace. what hope is there for art that just wants to be.


revenues from film use goto charity

September 30, 2008

rather than taking claim of funds for the use of the song “memories child” in the lattest x-files movie i decided to give the funds to charity direct from the contractor that licensed the song to fox. The same project uses the song “how far” in many of clips as the theme music. I hope more artists start doing similar things with their art, it seems the people in these developing places are the ones that are finding it hard to cope the most, with the material world.

thanks shawn for choosing to use my songs in your clips.


EMI starbucks mixed with starbucks.

September 29, 2008

The same way that someone who owns a cafe and through some freak of nature part of the toilet is owned by some guy that did work on the bathroom. I try to make an extra payment, yet the workers want accept any terms. The organization that regulates all the toilet houses tells me that the bathroom belongs to me and i can make it a free public toilet. The public start to use my toilet and my cafe does more business. A lot of business starts to come to my cafe and the big cafe around the corner “starbucks” starts to loose money. Starbucks have solid agreements in place for all their toilets and much nicer toilet seats that my cafe anyway, yet i have a cake that is ok and people like to come to my cafe cause its the only cafe not called starbucks. Starbucks start to get worried about other people starting up cafes that are the same as mine, if people are going to start ones up the same as mine, then they have to make sure that the people that use the toilet are being paid. The result is that starbucks gives me a big pay off and then change the name of my cafe to starbucks and then everyone copies what i do, cause they can see that i am driving a much better car around and all those women that used to tell me i was a guy with a cafe full of nice pipe dreams all start to notice me cause i have this thing going and they can get in on the action. The way that starbucks is able to own my cafe is because of the people that built my toilet. I have the option of my cafe being shut down or accepting the pay-off. or maybe another way exists that was not on the map.

of course every story is different. yet what if the guy just wanted to have one cafe and did not want the car and thought that all the people that had the nice car and the women were people that he did not want to hang out with them anymore anyway. what if the guy only wanted to build the cafe to burn it down in front of the toilet block workers. what if everything really happens 16 years ago in the desert of north western Australia?

you see the future of ideas is that people actually have their own ideas, if people talk about them ideas at a cafe then wouldn’t it be a good idea if they could build on the ideas and make their homes into cafe’s as well. this is the story about something, yet really i’m not sure what i’m saying cause if i really did then i could laugh more about. its a horror and its a sadness its a laughter all at the same time. yet really none of it has anything to with me anyway.

goodbye.

Today this clash has resulted in the invention of the term pirate radio which now refers to instances when the means of distribution is no longer under the control of IFPI and its associated interests. In the 1960s this clash led to an interesting situation where pirate radio stations were increasing the popularity of IFPI licensed products, and thereby boosting the commercial sales of its member companies. The companies thus began supplying the pirate radio stations while protesting in the newspapers that the pirate radio stations should be shut down. information from this wiki link

The mafia of APRA

September 17, 2008

Its interesting that APRA crime ring in Australia. They are all so puffed up in their glass sandals. I’m not sure what to think anymore. I mean i thought that people in these established copyright organizations were not able to lie and make up stories and if they did that they got put in jail. If you work for APRA and you do something really bad to an artist that is trying to figure out what the word independent means within the context of that monopoly, well you get a good promotion. I don’t like to say them rude words on my blog, yet fuck you APRA and someone go at their building hard with a spray can. What an out of control dina-sore, can it be put on leech? I just don’t care anymore, no dollar that pertains to the music industry is a dollar worth having.

the dream as it is or as it was far from here

September 16, 2008

all the worms on the apples tree covered in ice and loaded with spaghetti all suddenly tasted so good. was it  a dream. it was a nuclear explosion or was it the earth. the water was rushing up and i was running up that hill faster and faster to get away from it all. it seemed like the land was rushing away from me and evryone behind me falling into everything. i felt like i had escaped, then i woke up. was it a dream?


start of a story from my fridge mind many moons ago

September 15, 2008

it was then that it all started to happen. the mushrooms were moldy in the fridge and all the apples were dried up like dead corpses, everything was in a state of slow decay and nothing could rescue thoughts anymore. them thoughts were gone and gone.. and gone way to far, for rescue via any mind near here. the fridge contents, were on par with all them travels. it all could have been consumed in a state of bliss, yet I prefer to watch it all slowly slide into a vortex of misery and sustain everything on take out food. it’s worth shopping to just feel heathy, yet the food thats not a snack always ended up rotten.

The soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
The mirror on the mantelpiece tells me it’s time to leave
Because the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
Why do I feel so much pain
When no-one remembers anything anyway
No-one cares what you say, people within their space
‘Cause the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep

Hey, where’s the beautiful princess going
Really just a snob with a bad attitude
There ain’t no time to tell her the way you feel
Before you know it, a piece of meat on a wheel

The soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
The mirror on the mantelpiece tells me it’s time to leave
‘Cause the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
I wonder what they’ll do when they all wake up
‘Cause the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep

My days, my nights, my dreams throughout my life
Counting stars in my mind, feelings by my side
My higher mind’s talking to the shadows on the wall
Dream from yesterday, you can write any rhythm
Put it in a book, nothing explains the way to feel
When the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
The mirror on the mantelpiece tells me it’s time to leave
‘Cause the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
The soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
The mirror on the mantelpiece tells me it’s time to leave
‘Cause the soldiers have left and gone to sleep

Complicate, liberate, confused by the call
Into the forest where the angels waking
Like the birds in the trees
I only wish we could catch the first plane out of here

Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon

The stars are UFO’s, all eyes neon globes
Everything is watching him
He’s the centre of the dream
The birds are talking to him
Hey, he just worked out telepathy

Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon

Into the stars, back through the sun
Top of the hill where the angels fly
Into the sun, back through the stars
Top of the hill where the angels fly

Terminate the terminal 
We all live so we can fly
That true destination 
Where’s the ticket, anyhow

Take drugs, climb that hill
See the world, a different point of view
Burn the future
Burn a past
Fall into the abyss of that ugly mask

Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon

Into the stars, back through the sun
Top of the hill where the angels fly
Into the sun, back through the stars
Top of the hill where the angels fly

Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon

I walked the main street past the cinema
Walked through the pool hall lookin’ for a perfect place

I walked the main street, the outer suburb
Eyes alive yet nowhere to go
Shadows, breathe, rain does flow
Neon lights, empty streets
Like a current, I was drawn

I walked the streets until the soles of my feet were beat

Lights flicker, ghosts walk, walked to the station
Trains didn’t go, traffic lights went yet no cars drive
Further, further out I must climb

I walked the streets until the soles of my feet were beat
I walked the streets until the soles of my feet were beat
Go walk the streets until the soles of my feet are dead
Go walk the streets until the soles of my feet are dead

Rollin’, rollin’ down thunder from the sky
Dogs did bark as I walk, cold to my bones
Steps did echo, light was bent, time was still, the mist moved in
Movin’ my mind in its twisted vault
Further, further out I must go

I walked the streets until the soles of my feet were beat

The suburbs frozen, moon was lost, sheets of rain, nowhere to go

I walked the streets until the soles of my feet were beat (x3)
Go walk the streets until the soles of my feet are dead (x10)

Come to the island, swim through the sea
Over the waves of the past into the rain with me
We’ll have a good time, nothing’s gonna be the same
All our friends drift into space
Just you and me, hey come to the island

Through the sea, over the waves
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me

9 7:05 4:24, the time the trains leave to go up north
There’s the blue sky we’re circling so high
The air is so cold, there are diamonds on the ground
Four suns falling to the green grass below
It could be the end, hey just explode to the island

Through the sea, over the waves
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me

Memories of silence, light of colour
Beneath it, the grail fountains of heavens
Into the stars, we could explode
You turn your head and you say to the island

Through the sea, over the waves
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea

Thousands of islands to travel between
Oceans of worlds, oceans of worlds
Colour the space, walls are no more
Oceans of worlds, oceans of worlds
Swim to the moon, run through the fields
Oceans of worlds, oceans of worlds
Fall to the breasts of creation
Oceans of worlds, oceans of worlds
Swim to the moon, run through the fields
Oceans of worlds, oceans of worlds

To the island, through the sea
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me
