why?

why?
good question - basically the answer is death, ok?

dunno how long the human race or the internet or electricty will exist- to be honest, sometimes I do wish the earth'd have a wipe out moment & nothing exists from our 'time' on earth but hey, is this negative? - suppose it may be construed to be.

i'm basically uploading my tapes *cassettes* (of which I had about 1,000, now I have about 200 [various culls - some i regret losing some i don't]) and some vinyl records I have onto my you tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0JyKitLU7wybEhL1T_qjww?view_as=subscriber

also I have uploaded some zines onto issuu : https://issuu.com/yantree1

and i keep updating youtube & issuu with various stuff occasionally - why?

cuz I wANNA give future generations an archive of what stupid shit we were into & what crazy zines we'd produce - that's it really.

feel like there's a million other words I could/should write right now but my mind is blank - pretty vacant huh

anarchy peace love & freedom xox xo

guitar

this guitar - that became my tool of rebellion in teenage.
my friend - my lover - my waste-of-time - my connection to others.
          sometimes it became special/precious...
                    later it became a weapon (I felt) due to being on the road & seeing many army trucks/vehicles also - I imagined I was an alternative soldier - a soldier of peace...
after such intense times, the guitar became a distraction, occasionally.

To (when I said to members of the) chumbas 'I hung up my guitar' after a last despicable gig in Bristol with Headcore & Blyth Power (I still [did] have it on tape!).

a guitar didn't happen with me for a long long time after.
I don't even know how I happened to have one when Kismet lost a bassist & there was me with a 6 string. Eventually got the 4 string & a 'cooler' one. it became something that others were better at, and a chore for me - but at least I was in a 'punk' band.

Just tidying up & putting the 'family' of instruments away.

There is/was a definate 'warm' feeling towards them.

This machine ain't gonna kill any fascists, but our ideas & action inspired by them & the music - might......         ......bless

all I need...

on y mobile phone to god
She tells me that
the planet is gonna die
so gotta dig a big, big
hole to fill with the corpses
of all the people I ever knew
of course I',m gonna survive
cos I'm writing this stuff.
