Majority rule…. don’t work in mental institutions….
I know this song was originally about Mr Bush, and I know this song was originally a fast punk tune by NoFX.
My version is…. different. Its about politicians in general, and the media led culture that they and their corporate masters have fostered to control us. Mark my words, the new guy is just like the old guy.
Despite how much Barack Obama wants to talk about change, his biggest supporters are the same old white men on wall street, and nothing substantial will be different.
It may even get worse.
Of course, musically my version is also different…. more of an industrial grunge punk dirge…. or something….

Disclaimer: I don’t believe a single word of this song.
So, this is the contrast to last weeks song…. a hymn.
Unlike everything I’ve done, this was recorded all in one take, playing the guitar and singing the vocals simultaneously.
And I wasn’t wearing a shirt….

And now for something completely different…. or not.
Unlike my previous entries in the uncovered series, this is a song that you’d expect me to do. Since it is September, and Metallica is about to release a new album, I thought I’d cover one of their tunes.
I picked Motorbreath because it was the first song that I taught myself…. The one that I practised for hours on end to get the speed and technique (and bad habits) that form the bedrock of my guitar playing. After this I had all I needed to tackle pretty much any other song I wanted. This is me kicking it oldskool, getting back to my roots…. and playing something that is fast, heavy and full of attitude.
Don’t stop for nothing, it’s full speed or nothing….

Wanna get rowdy….
Gonna get a little unruly….
Get it fired up in a hurry….
Wanna get Dirrty….
Me covering Christina Aguilera.
This could be the coolest thing ever…. or the biggest insult to metal since Pat Boone’s “In A Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy”.
Anyway, give it a listen, tell your friends…. and then maybe contact those men in white suits to take me away because I’ve finally lost it

The start of a new year of songs, and the start of a few new features.
Firstly, newly redesigned logos, album art and other miscellaneous pretty things.
Secondly, a new series within the songs. Uncovered. Which is me covering songs written by other people…. and they won’t always be the most obvious source material.
This is THAT song by John Paul Young. Partly I did it to make all your heads explode…. Boom.
