{my music} Darker Ages - Jethro Tull... Remix

I've titled this as a remix, but it's not really. I just total a sample of some "a cappella" vocals from this youtube video and put them to music (as I promised to ages ago in this post). I've also included the demo-demo version of the tune which has a different vibe to it, but is still pretty much the same sort of thing, albeit rougher.

The video is based on footage from the original video the audio is taken from. I wish the original had more footage that I could lip-sync to, but it didn't, so I had to make do.

Oh yeah, one more thing: Anderson blows and I suck... what a combination!

I Wrote A Country & Western Song

I see you plastering on the makeup,
With your milky face gone all brown.
You were doing it at the lights,
Holding up the traffic in the town.

I'm sure sure he's really worth it,
Making yourself look real cheap,
I'm sure he tells you that he loves you,
When your bent over in a heap.

chorus
But I've just got one thing to say,
And I don't mean to be crass,
But honey he ain't be lovin' you,
He's just been fucking you in the ass.

I'm sure he does the same to a minger,
Or even a beached whale,
And once he's done (you know his kind)
Well he's just gonna bail.

chorus
Oh I've just got one thing to say,
And I don't mean to be crass,
But honey he aint be lovin' you,
He's just been fucking you in the ass.

Ohh, you now have the AIDS!


I wrote this on the way home from TESCO one afternoon a few months back. I saw a woman at a stop light lashing the creams and powders onto her face, oblivious to the fact that the lights had since changed to green. She eventually got a few beeps from the drivers in cars behind hers. I wondered about her background; where was she going at such a hour and why was she in such a rush to get her face ready. It could have been for any reason, but I decided she was heading off meeting up with some langball she was trying to impress. I began to sing. I was neither angry nor pernicious, just jovial, and by the time I had gotten home, I had most of the lyrics worked out.

The idea for Daniel O'Donnel singing it came last week.

Stephen Gately & Jan Moir walked into a bar... a gay bar of course!

I wanted to write something on the whole Stephen Gately death Vs. Jan Moir "all gays are evil" thing. I couldn't think of anything other than the comment I left on Stephen Spillane's blog about the article. And it's been sitting me my drafts forlder all this time, annoying me. So rather than delete it, I published it instead. The original article by Jan Moir can be read here.

"lol that article is fabulous darling… Holy fuck! I just realised something!!! Freddie Mercury was gay and he died of AIDS!!! My god, if only he were straight, he’d still be alive today (because straight people live forever!)…. oh why why why Freddie, why did you have to choose to be all gay… Stephen please I beg you, keep away from the gayness… As Freddie might have sang… “Too much gayness will kill you in the end”

Stephen Gately died unnaturally? Well fuck me (not literally of course, I don’t want to die young from the gayness) I always assumed every death was natural. If I cut my wrists and bleed out, is that death any more unnatural than dying from a burst blood vessel in the head. What about a stroke caused by a blood clot as opposed to a lump of cholesterol that broke free after building up from years of fatty burger ingestions… what if the clot broke free during a bout of E taking? Unnatural indeed…. I reckon Jan Moir likes it up her bottom, which is totally “natural”, because she’s not a man. Not that I really care where she sticks cans of lager of course…"

My First Wax

I guess my first ever vinyl would have to be Queen's "A Kind Of Magic". I still clearly remember my father handing me this '45 vinyl single in 1986. It was released in March of 1986 so I must have only been 4 at the time. I remember not being able to understand why The Kurgan (Clancy Brown) pictured on the sleeve wasn't Freddie Mercury. It took me a few years to comprehend that it wasn't. I was always fascinated with the texture effect on the purple areas which looked like little cut pieces of hair. I still get a weird vibe looking at the photo used. Not a Highlander feel, more a "He-Man and Skeletor", or "Conan The Barbarian" thing.

The first vinyl I bought myself came many years later in 2006. I bought a factory test pressing of Jon Lord's 1976 album, "Sarabande", on Ebay. Sarabande is one of my most favorite albums ever, and I think the artwork is quite nice. After that I bought up a good few other records. For a time I was collecting albums which featured artwork painted by HR Giger. I have these sleeves hanging up in my hall. Haven't bought any vinyl in a while.

Just found this photo's lying around in a draft post, felt like putting some words to them :)

Something Went Wrong With Youtube

I don't think Quincy Jones did the music on this one.

Muhammad Was A Paedophile

While we thought calling Pat Kenny a "fat cat" on RTE was explosive last Monday night, Italian politician Daniela Santanchè told it as she sees it: "Muhammad had nine wives, the last was a 9-years-old child. Muhammad was a polygamous and a paedophile" [08.11.2009]

Gammastradamus Strikes Again!

Back in May, I came across this story about kangaroo in Australia with a bolt from a crossbow lodged through its face. I can only assume a scumbag-yobbo did it because no one in their right mind would try to dispatch a kangaroo by shooting it in the head with a crossbow... unless it's in a computer game. Yes, the third post on this blog back in 2005 was a picture of a kangaroo I shot in the head with a crossbow in Atari's "Deer Hunter 2005". A great game back in the day. A reward of AUS$10,000 was offered to anyone who identified those responsible, I wonder if anyone ever collected.

What I can never understand is how aggressive people get over deer hunting games: "Oh you sick cunt, shooting defenceless animals!" Yes, defenceless "virtual-animals"... you know, ones that aren't real (then again Bambi, wasn't real either and people still weep in their pants over that) "Oh man, you're fucked up if you like that shit"... I guess, but maybe you should worry more about the "brilliant" award-winning multi-million dollar selling... a billion users online at anyone time.. Grand Theft Auto series, where the aim of the game is to kill humans by shooting, and mashing them up with your car.

Those people who get upset watching a dog get killed in films annoy me too. They often freely admit their hypocrisy "I don't mind watching a person get killed [fuck them, they deserved it for being human] but I don't want to see anything happening to the poor [little] dog[gy woggy]". Anyway this has nothing to do with the post really, just a general observation.

Actually, the only reason for this post is to highlight another case of life imitating gammagoblin.

Freeze Frame

I have an hour to do a Halloween post...

Ok the pressure is on... got way behind with the Halloween shit and I'll probably not get this done. But lets give it a go.


First here's a makeup video thats totally awesome. A little known fact about about me, when I was younger I wanted to be a makeup artist. Movie or stage makeup and sfx. I'm still fascinated by it and womens makeup is so god damn sexy! This is a Halloween-special video by vintageortacky. She has some real awesome makeup tutorials with really hot eye-art (trademarked term I created). the road-rash looks really awesome here.

Costumes! Too late for you to choose now but costumes are what Halloween is all about. I found a really awesome site of rental costumes a while back. I wanted to do a proper write up but this will have to do now. If Tom Green did costume photography, this would be it. Oh the funz I had with these!

More can be found here. Really awesome modelling don't you think?

A very happy ghoulish couple for the night that's in it [via]
