Tell Me Why (orig. Neil Young)
I don’t know if I’ve ever recorded vocals without being sick.

Where Have All the Flowers Gone (orig. Pete Seeger)
can I sing any more like a douchebag? I’m always too sick to record a good vocal track.

Butterflies (orig. Chumbawamba)
In case you haven’t noticed, Chumbawamba is one of my favorite bands. This is an early demo song of theirs. About how the beauty and the thousands of years work that Nature spent can be taken and abused into something so counter-productive.

Bought a big pack of construction paper yesterday, I’m wanting to try and make a short comic or something.
All I need now is the creativity to write a story…

I bought this as a shirt, here’s the stencil I reverse engineered from it.
For all you DIY commies out there. (click for the hi-res stencils)

…”So what’s your solution?”
People ask this question like if I don’t have a good enough solution, everything I’m talking about is automatically discredited. There is not some single, comprehensive solution that applies to everyone. However, it appears to me that primarily, people need to: learn how to live sustainable on the land where they live, dismantle industrial civilization and remove power from those in power (there is going to be a human population reduction, and it’s going to be way scarier with firm power boundaries still in place), and undergo a radical transformation of consciousness. All of these things are multi-faceted and complex, so I suggest you figure out for yourself what aspects of each goal you are interested in, and go from there. The message I really am trying to get through to you is this: Stop taking civilization for granted. Start thinking.

I was on an eBay store that sells buttons, sticker, patches, et cetera, of kind of peace-punk messages. This was a badge, like the kind you sew on your vest in the boyscouts. I couldn’t buy it, but I saved the image and stenciled it so that I could maybe make it myself some time.
