MUSIC: Devilwoman
This song is one of my favorites and was inspired by a movie poster I bought at a flea market. I have not, in fact, watched this movie yet! This is from my Call It Love album. Here’s the poster I came across so many years ago!
Podcast: Scorpio Energy
Just sharing some thoughts about all the delicious Scorpio energy that will be around. I am sure you can go online and find more information about it.
Song Progress
The songs I am penning are progressively becoming darker. Look, I am not complaining. I am embracing the Mercury in Scorpio energy I was wired with at birth. I remember running into an old lady who was a chemist of sorts and asked her to tell me about everyday…uhm…poisons. You should have seen the look […]
Planetary Energies
Mercury retrograde is coming up…in conjunction with the planet Venus. That means stuff from one’s past finding their way to your door in a most unexpected way. And Venus is the ruler of all things love related. Who needs that crap? The new moon is in Scorpio on October 28th and Mercury is in Scorpio. […]
Black Book
Here are some random scribbles from my notebook. Some will become songs. Others are small insights or things overheard while out with friends. Or some are just pure imaginary pieces of nonsense. * * I know you care he said. Yes […]
The Purge
I was clearing out my phone and stumbled across all the voice notes, videos and photos sent. I was surprised by how much my girlfriend and I swear at each other. Trust me she is worse as she uses very expressive Afrikaans. This is just a fact. I am not trying to be a goody […]
Music: Constellations of Desire
I was reading a book by Hal Duncan called Vellum, feeling sad and it was about 3am…so I decided to put down the book and write music instead. The word that inspired the song was a scene from the book. Imagine..you just made passionate love and you ask your lover if they enjoyed it as […]
Four Women
When it comes to hair in South Africa….things get weird. Yeah, blame it on apartheid conditioning. The smoother your hair and fairer your skin, the better it gets. Still. My daughter did the whole Ramona thang (a character from the awesome movie Scott Pilgrim vs The World) and dyed her hair every conceivable color. I […]
Music:When God Gets Back From Holiday
This was written by my friend Tariq Halim, now and editor of a newspaper in South Africa. His was the first band I belonged to called…Three Rand Coin. Yes, we were three people and such a thing does not exist in SA. This is on my Dreaming Music album. A fantastic song to sing…especially in […]
Ranting About Music
The problem with this album… Why is it that I start every blog post about the new album with that sentence eh? Perhaps because it is impossible for me to put out an album where someone does not die, or where I contemplate murder. Well, at least the one song where I destroyed an entire […]
