Listening party with the fam last night. Thought we’d get the little girl started on the good stuff early. Playlist included Sam Cooke, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Cash and Thomas Tallis.

Most of my musician friends have probably seen the pic going round of the cobwebbed skeleton sitting at the mixing board, searching for thee perfect mix. That was Cory and myself with this new PFU joint. It was madness, but it was worth it.

And now, the fruits of said madness…

 
Compassion and Insight. What the Buddhists call our greatest weapons against ignorance, hatred and greed.

May we all go about with two guns blazing…

TWO GUNS

Up in the morning, sun shining
Branches in the autumn breeze
Clickin’ like some bones
Steam rising, Ol’ Muddy
Sunday feeling a little bit battered
A little bit bloody

Old Man Trouble he’s working double time
To bring us down, to keep us apart
It might get tricky when I’m hurt + angry
But I’m gonna stick to my guns
I’m gonna stick to my guns

These two things are all we need
To make our way through these crazy days, uh-huh

Cocked and loaded, exploded
Landmine people been blowin’ up everyday
You gotta stick to your guns
You might be smote by a smouldering bolt from the sky
Whatcha gonna do?
You gotta stick to your guns
Stick to your guns

These two things…

I found myself thinking about tomorrow
With all this living left to do today
With a little kindness and a little vision
I think we’re gonna be okay

Evening arriving
Kiss and make up you made it through
Alive and a little bit broken
The words you’d spoken
The hog you were ropin’
The champ was dopin’
The hope was hopin’
The chimp was smokin’
Froggy was croakin’
The joker was tokin’

Hello All. I hope this finds you well. I am writing to you all to spread the news, and perhaps begin a dialogue, about some disturbing stuff.

Many of you are familiar with the damage that Monsanto continues to cause globally, to the planet and it’s people. Well, the terror continues.

Here is the link to the latest:

 Monsanto Monkey Business

Please read and sign. And share. This is important stuff. As a not so small side note, beware of the turd who runs Nestle. He has on his agenda the privatization of the world’s water supply.

I will be taking part in the Toronto Occupy Monsanto march on Saturday, May 25th. I’ve never demonstrated for anything before, but am now compelled to do so, as this type of corporate activity is out of control. My inspiration also stems from my imminent fatherhood and the kind of place I’d like to leave for the new generations that will follow us.

We and our babies will be slaves to the lost and corrupt if we do not act, organize and speak out against what is ours as a basic human right.

Please join in and sign the petition and/or march against Monsanto. Let our voices be heard.

Love, Light and Rock ‘n’ Roll,

K.

Come on down to Kensington for an early evening of PFU tunes.

Avro gig was sweet!!! Great vibes. Thanks to all of you who came out. Cheers to Bruce and Rachel for a great three year run.

…is coming together nicely. Join us Tuesday, April 2 at The Avro (750 Queen St. E.)

One week til The Avro show! Sadly, this great little space will be closing at the end of April due to exorbitant rent inflation.

Please come join us for a final throwdown hoedown…Tuesday, April 2/9p
