God Be With You (til we meet again)
by Mystified

God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again (hymn)
Text: Jeremiah E. Rankin, 1828-1904
Music: William G. Tomer, 1833-1896

For those who listen, here and Beyond...
And in memory of "droop"--Paul Lavon Davis (April 21, 1948 – April 22, 2008)

Just as with "Abide With Me," this was a spur-of-the-moment recording, far from perfect, that I wanted to share.

New Love
by BlendWellMusic and amateurpro

New Love:
A dilemma between two women
One love that's safe and comforting
One love that's New and passionate (Sacrificing the other)
If I follow the new love, will I find that I really loved the other more?,
A fork in the road of love

I try and hit a couple of notes that are out of my range, (I know) I needed the song to sound like that, even if couldn't hit them,

Thank you Alex for letting me try something over this beautiful piece of art. I hope you feel the meaning!

Lupi Archive's Bootlegs: Break That Wall!!
by lupiroz, o0o, SELES and Rolando

First extraction from unfinished collaborations lying down on my archive, an old work by the author of this splendid song, o0o, who sings with SELES on guitar, Rolando on drums and me on bass; I call this kind of uploadings “Lupi Archive’s bootlegs” cause I completed the missing parts and posted the tune without asking their permission.......in order to let it looking like that mythical bootlegs in the old days of the record industry.
Of course some of them (collaborators) could not agree my move and in that case I’ll have to remove immediately the tune......a cool reason to download it As Soon As Possible, just like in that old mythical days of the record industry, hihihihihi!!!

The Hanging Tree
by DayForNight, stevel and Mystified

This is actually one of the earliest songs I wrote and recorded, back in 2005. A couple of months ago Mysti sent me an mp3 with her lovely vocal additions. Due to a severe bout of lethargy on my part it took me another couple of months to track down my original GB file, by then I realised I had lost Mysti's vox! Luckily she still had them and resent them through. So finally I got around to getting it all mixed in....so here finally is the dark and folky DFN version of The Hanging Tree.

Tracy Greenbury murder suspect Leigh Robinson faced noose
THE prime suspect in yesterday's callous killing of a Frankston mother was sentenced to death in 1968 for the stabbing murder of a 17-year-old girl.

Police have named Leigh Robinson, 60, as the prime suspect in the shotgun murder of Frankston mother Tracy Greenbury, 33, The Herald Sun reported.

Robinson's death sentence for murdering the teenager was commuted in 1969, and he was released on parole in 1983. In 1991 he pleaded guilty to 14 charges of handling over $100,000 worth of stolen goods.

He received a two-year sentence with a minimum of 18 months.

Actor Gil Tucker - who played a policeman in the popular TV drama Cop Shop - gave evidence on Robinson's behalf, saying Robinson's life had been ''a great tragedy'' and that he had made a "made a great fist of having a go at it" after being released for the 1968 murder.

Swan’s high-wire Budget act by Piers Akerman

TREASURER Wayne Swan will have to perform a fantastic high-wire act to give the Rudd Labor Government’s first Budget some credibility when he brings it down in a fortnight’s time.

The signs are he is still coming to grips with the reality that Australia does not exist in exquisite isolation from the rest of the global economy and that even within our island continent there are major regional and financial variations which affect the politically sensitive hip-pocket nerve.

With the Reserve Bank’s interest rate now set at 7.25 per cent, higher than it has been since 1994 when the former governor Bernie Fraser jacked up interest rates 2.75 per cent in the five months between August and December, many Australians are proclaiming their pain.

Not the pain that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said he could feel when he was on the campaign trail last year, but a far greater pain.

I love Her, She Doesn't Like Me mk 2

When she left, she left behind a bag of things I'd given or loaned her over the years. She included a card and a gift. I hadn't wanted to look at those, partly because it would confirm that she had gone and I hadn't wanted to accept that. But I thought of what might happen if she wasn't gone forever, and I still hadn't opened them, and I, a few months later, decided to open them.
The card was lovely. Home made. Symbols pasted on the outside signifying something I didn't know. But the words were as sharp as I had feared. They cut, and so I put off opening the gift for a few days.

Waking in the mornings is the hardest thing when there is no work. There is work today, and so I do what I must. When she had been overseas, but I thought there was a future, it was so easy to get things done. I could plan. But now I am hesitant and I find it hard to finish anything, or start anything. I do what I must. A few days had passed, and so, last night, I opened the gift. I had intended, at first, to keep it and give it back to her. To tell her that it was thoughtful, but something she should give to someone she likes. But I came to realize that that was hurtful of me.
It was beautiful. Thoughtful and insightful. The markings on the card were related to the gift. Wax candle with colorful glass symbols and a glass jar. I consider the quote by Deepak Chopra

Everything that is happening at this moment is a result of choices you made in the past

Strictly speaking, that isn't true. But if I light the candle, time will pass. Things will become easier. I do what I must.

Stand By Me (Tibet, Olympic Torch)

I love China and Chinese peoples. I have ancestors there. I support the peaceful protests of Chinese Government's human rights abuses, including Tibet. This is a symbolic collage. There is a great wall for this issue. It begins with Tibet, and finishes with what is graceful and beautiful of China. The Olympic Flame can bridge the divide.

How We Can Kill Free Speech Yet Produce More

April 26, 2008 | 11:46 pm

There are more books, but fewer readers. This parallels an extraordinary debate in Australia with the recent election win of the politically liberal Australian Labor Party. Many among the liberal media are claiming they can speak at last. But who is listening?

When Clinton's presidency ended, there was debate about who would be president involving law courts, tally rooms, hanging chads and vanity of a scale Nixon eschewed. Clinton joked "The American people have spoken, but it will take us a while to work out what they said."
The joke Clinton made, made light of the anger many felt, wrongly believing that a swindle was in progress. To this day, there are many who believe something wrong had happened. Similarly in Australia, the previous success of the former PM, John Howard, had led his critics to much self pity. So that one journalist recently commented that he was apparently unable to have a conversation until Kevin Rudd liberated him and his friends last November.
The facts speak for themselves, and it is now that debate has been stifled. A meeting of 1000 left wingers met to discuss Australia's future, and remarkably managed to advocate the new government's agenda or raising taxes and paying friends extortionate amounts of money. Children were allowed to air their fears.

As social conservative columnist Andrew Bolt notes "And finally, do you not find it bizarre that you, in the name of debate, criticise the few prepared to have it? Do you not blush to attack a few defenders of true debate as people who allegedly “are telling us that they, and only they, knew what is best for this country”, while going on to praise a stage-managed gathering and hand-picked like-minders who are advertised by their puppetmaster as the “best and the brightest”, drawing up plans for the rest of us?"

"You attack what you claim to defend, and betray what you claim to honor. You seek no conversation, only the mute acceptance of the mass to the chatter of your elite."

Bolt supports the Australian Labor Party. But he doesn't have to like it.

A Forgotten Scandal

What is the controversy over the U.N. Oil-for-Food Program?
The UN Security Council started the Oil-for-Food program in 1996 to allow Iraq to sell enough oil to pay for food and other necessities for its population, which was suffering under strict UN sanctions imposed after the first Gulf War. But Saddam Hussein exploited the program, earning some $1.7 billion through kickbacks and surcharges, and $10.9 billion through illegal oil smuggling, according to a 2004 Central Intelligence Agency investigation. Wide-scale mismanagement and unethical conduct on the part of some UN employees also plagued the program, according to the UN Independent Inquiry Committee.

This song started off as a metronome counting at 180 bpm - a running exercise. But then, like a true composer with lots of free time, I modeled a song around it. It was basically a collection of hard rock clichés, but after a while it started growing on me.

It's a little experimental in nature, but I hope there's some merit to it. Please let me know what you think about this little adventure.

Brian Greene: The universe on a string

http://www.ted.com In clear, nontechnical language, string theorist Brian Greene explains how our understanding of the universe has evolved from Einstein's notions of gravity and space-time to superstring theory, where minuscule strands of energy vibrating in 11 dimensions create every particle and force in the universe. (This mind-bending theory may soon be put to the test at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva.)

Dr. Dean Ornish: Your genes are not your fate

And new findings show that a healthier lifestyle can turn off disease-provoking genes and turn on the good ones.

For Anzac Day Friday 25th April 2008

Made for the coming ANZAC Day celebrations. I have nothing but respect for soldiers. I think things are worth fighting for. I don't like war, but sometimes we gotta.
"And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is a song, written by Eric Bogle in 1972, describing the futility, gruesome reality and the destruction of war, while criticising those who seek to glorify it.
I became a citizen of Australia on 12th April. Little fanfare. Only one visitor was allowed to the ceremony, and no one wished to go, although I promised 2GB if someone came along I'd shout them a beer. Both my grandparents were said to have fought at Gallipolli, although I only believe one of them did. The other got himself blinded in a bar room brawl or some such and claimed a pension. With so many wounded, no one was to argue over the years. Still, he married a good woman and took her parent's house and land, selling it for grog. He despised Churchill, whom he blamed for the loss, and his infirmity. Truth was, though, that it was nearly a success, and it was made a defeat by a political campaign and a loss of will, thanks to the newspapers of the day. No one was killed in the retreat, as apparently the Turks were forced to conserve ammo.
Substantial debates are occurring regarding diggers marching. Family are being asked to march behind the diggers. One might think that an honor, but those wishing to stop it altogether claim it is a crime.
A toast, that the sacrifice of many will not be in vain.
===
The citizenship ceremony was ok. No food or drink. Barely enough chairs. People rushed in and out. Crowded. The speakers were all English as a second language speakers, and so it was halting. People were cheerful. Bureaucratic nonsense was present, with a minor bureaucrat apologizing for not having a politician on hand to have their fingers licked. For ANZAC Day, ALP politicans are present. There is plenty of seats, food and drinks. One feels like joining the ALP, for many of the same reasons as one might have felt like joining the communist or Nazi party, in another time or place.

Broadway Rag (1922)
by georgeptingley

From the tail end of the ragtime era comes James Scott's BROADWAY RAG (1922), one of my favorite rags. Listen close and you will hear a level of energy and optimism that is very, very New York.

I did a bit of quantizing on this one to give it a piano role sound. On the other hand, I did no compressing of piano velocities so we get a wide range of softs to louds (in MIDI terms velocities ranging from here 10 to around 120). This latter helps maintain some of that human feel.

Talk that mortgage rates could go to more than nine and a half per cent. Wayne Swan, the treasurer and the government saying they can understand the pain people are feeling around the kitchen table. But of course, Wayne Swan and Kevin Rudd were at pains during an election campaign only months ago to blame the then government for petrol prices, food prices, house prices, rent increases and child care increases, to name a few.

Bantam Step (New York Style)

Harry Jantes great New York piano rag BANTAM STEP (1916) is given the royal treatment here in a second mix. Listen for added doublings in both treble and bass, more ornaments, and even some boogie patterns. New Yorkers don't want no reverent classical rags; they want their piano rags played fast and intense, and surely not with the usual limitation of ten fingers if more are available. This version goes out to all my NY friends.
