I decided to write and record a sub-two-minute slab of political punk rock. Yeah, the mix isn’t great, but it’s punk, it’s supposed to be a bit rough.

If you like it and want to support my music making endeavours, hit the Bandcamp link above to buy the track.

LYRICS

I’m not puttin’ out
You’re rushin’ in
Your tiny hands
and rotten grin

it’s a stranger world
‘Cause you deranged the world
So I’ll deface this wall
And watch you take the fall

Fake news and lies
Propaganda machine
All playing out
Like a tragedy scene

it’s a stranger world
‘Cause you deranged the world
So I’ll deface this wall
And watch you take the fall

Buzzwords fall
from plastic men
We have to go
Through this again

It’s a stranger world
Where flags of lies unfurl
But I will still say Yes
Against a full court press

We stand around
Negotiating table
It’s clear you are
Weak and unstable

It’s a stranger world
Where flags of lies unfurl
But I will still say Yes
Against a full court press

See for yourself
Widen up the view
Check behind the curtain
And you will find the truth

It’s a stranger world
It’s a stranger world
It’s a danger world
It’s a danger world

The meme mashup nobody asked for, but I did it anyway. Kinda wish there was a better instrumental of Enter Sandman out there, but you work with what you get.

Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. Surprised how well this one turned out, frankly. Didn’t even have to change the pitch of the vocals.

Welcome once again to the trip report that never ends.  Well, until this one gets finished, then that’ll be about it.

So, we’re into the last four days of my trip – the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th of April 2016.  Let’s do them in order.

Welcome back to the Ozblogs (as I’ve started internally referring to them) as we get into the final stretch of my trip down under, and the bulk of my exploration of Perth itself.

I can’t really think of a good way to make this into a continuous narrative flow, so we’ll just go day by day and describe the stuff I did and whatnot, mmkay?

I finally did it. I’ve been meaning to do this for ages and I finally got my head around Ableton Live enough to pull it off.

Like this? Feel free to check out my original solo music at http://neilmcdougall.bandcamp.com/ and the debut EP by my band Afterline at http://afterline.bandcamp.com/.

So, when last we spoke, I’d just got back from Sydney, with blistered feet, a scuff on my head and a sore back.  By this point, I was about halfway through my time in Australia, and even though I was ostensibly based in Perth for the trip, I’d hardly spent any time there, between Sydney and the jaunt to Kalbarri.

That was about to change, though.

And so, after two jam-packed days, my time in the Sydney CBD was effectively over. Well, apart from one more afternoon/evening a couple of days later, but we’ll get to that…
