Month: February 2022

Ladoo or Burfee? You decide. I am talking about integrity or principles. Ladoo and Burfee are sweets. Very nice they are. Integrity and principles are how we live our life do our art or how we make money. That funny paper that is not a joke. The front of a book given to me as a gift says all you need to know about me in a way, principles and integrity are a double edged sword. Hard to live by and almost impossible to comprehend.

The album above is going to be a very DIY type of affair. Mr. Dortmund decided to put that together it is a live album. I dont have any live albums in me discography of late. Thinking about it there was a dvd and also another dvd of two videos now sold out. But the above wil be sold in true DIY style at shows for those who like to have some Luck to take home with them. We are looking for shows for that unit above. We have one on 15th July 2022 in London camden Underworld supporting Popes of chilitown https://www.songkick.com/concerts/40255251-popes-of-chillitown-at-underworld We are looking for more shows for that unit. Folk clubs folk festivals world music places and venues???

That leads nicely to the picture above. That sweet cat in in front of a wicked axe. The electric guitar we hope will be used by our riddim guitarist and fellow musicologist in East End Trinity. We have been kindly asked by mr. smith at the NXI london uk Fri April 1st 2022 to be main support to the amazing Riskee and the Ridicule https://newcrosslive.com/events/riskee-the-ridicule Babar Luck’s East End Trinity will be there. That link is to buy the ticket for that show it will have other wonderful bands. We had a good chat with those Riskee and the Ridicule chaps the other day supporting the amazing Random Hand. That night will be a banger. East End Trinity our electrick punk/rock/alt band are looking for shows in 2022 get in touch.

Talking about principles and integrity that chap above is selling some Babar Luck stuff. He runs a shop devoted to punk/hardcore/alternative sounds. He sadly like many felt the harsh winds of a storm that took place last weekend that damaged his shop. https://gofund.me/0adab7c9 that is a link to assist him and his wonderful shop in repairing the damage done. Do go against the grain of mainstream popular culture and support DIY shops and dare I say Babar Luck type creatives.

Here is a link to kinspirit our duo acoustic ep our latest musical collaborative work. https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/album/kinspirit-origins we are supporting sunday 4th sep 2022 at Islington Academy http://www.joshuaraywalker.com/ that is our country folk rock Ballads and heartfelt outpourings we wish play as a combo that evening . We are looking for shows as a acoustic duo or as a combo. We enjoy and love making music in diff styles as we like and play diff styles of music.

Those bunch of flowers were given by a son to a mother. The mother gives that son Unconditional love. Mothers are usually on this earth the only ones who can give that. Fathers can also give that unconditional love sometimes. The mother of that son works tirelessly with ex soldiers from all places in this world. She understands the vulgarity and needlessness of war. She also understands how sometimes we must take up arms. The leaders of this world want us to jump to this tune and that tune. The innocent are the children and the widows that are left behind. No matter where on this earth. So we shed tears for the innocent who are caught up in pointless and endless wars all over this world. Here is a link talking about such things again a chap I genuinely respect as a journalist and writer and a former war correspondent being interviewed and discussing what goes on in this earth. https://youtu.be/lQTZnL4A8_I

The world has always been unjust and unfair. The picture above is to make U smile. The flag behind me is a Mexican flag. It belongs to a true Rastaa. The good of the world make this world go round. Music is a remedy and healer it is a joyful noise unto the creator or the Devine force or Mother earth. Or simply fate and chance. However you see it. All our music is all inclusive we live in the house of LOVE. Everbody is welcome. The link below is to all our albums. Please investigate. Hit us up for shows and concerts we are about.

That is a pretty picture. In our brown hands we hold the first Vinyl we ever made. It had a pink cover & it was a double A side. The tracks were called Easy come/Big Boy It was by a band called Melisma. We were a pop/prog band with Intelligent lyrics. I simply played bass in that band. It was very well produced by a chap called Peter Peck from our collective memory,who was the third producer on the classic album The wall by Pink Floyd. Another album incidently and a band universally loved I call them “A English Reggae band”. If you think about that you Wil get it if you dont think about that then you wont. All our music is downloadable via https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/. Two cds can be purchsed via this website. One can get 3 different cds from http://allagesrecords.com/ which is a wonderful oasis of alternative culture in Camden London uk.

It is impossible to erase memories and failings/ bad experiences in life. Goof off like that product does to Staines and unsightly things. We have to learn to live with what we have done or not done. We have to accept who we were then and to change what we are now. It is a slow gradual process. There is not a instant remedy. We are all works in progress. We can only effect this moment and the future. No amount of talking discussing paying vast amounts of money to so called “therapists” will change that fact. Only we can fix or change ourselves. Acceptance and moving forward and forgiving and being forgiven. Sincere and honest. At times we have to be brutally honest.

The above is the World citizen folk band we have recently recorded a new album with the chap who is in the first picture. Below is a direct link to our last album with that “sci-fi folk sound” https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/rastaa We have also managed to salvage a live set of the Tolpuddle Martyr festival 2021. We Wil in some form release the sett. We have naturally edited most of my speaking in between the songs. I use the word we but it was done by mr. Dortmund(not his real name his real name quintessentially English,he is British??? he was born in Germany ) in one of his creative and brilliant outburst. In the bits in between the songs I was pointing out the sadnesses of this world and how we need to be more loving and caring to all humanity. One can watch the whole concert in its entirety on the internet but if one easily offended or does not like bad jokes I suggest dont. As it has been pointed out to me throughout my amazing career and life “you are a truly unique person”. I do not wish to upset or cause anyone upset. I do wish to make you forget the sorrows of this world or simply take our music to be shield to protect you in this world. Music is our remedy and are healers. We also can speak brutal truths. Truth over love.

The above is a sticker with picture of newest collaborative work. Kinspirit i suggest chk listen and involve oneself we are playing as a 4 piece where possible we recorded it as a acoustic Duo. They are wonderful sentimental emotional songs. https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/album/kinspirit-origins

The above is the snap of completion of the keyboard parts by Mark the Hook Hook studios London. It took 6 months. The bass which took 6 months were done by Michael Okot pictured below with Marc once again at the helm. The guitar vocals and drums were 6 months before that. This all took extra long due to certain world pandemic which is still with us. We hope it all seizes soon. If during these times we have learnt if nothing else Enjoy the simple things. Health is paramount. Governments cant be trusted. Leaders are all self serving fools. The world is very unjust and unfair. Which is why the character Jhon Brute exists aka Babar Luck he is a fictional/amalgamation of humans who I have met feared and loved. It is the second part of the chronicles of Jhon Brute the first was written ten years ago. This time the Brute has all the trimmings and technical shazam we can muster. It is me sgt peppers me ziggy stardust me Tijuana Moods me Ogdens nuttflake. We hope to have that completed this year.

Below is something that has been added to our discography section of our website I recalled I did that and found it. Thanks to Curv who were wonderful to me and I enjoyed singing on some heavy thrash metal music. https://youtu.be/H-CDd4U-s1Q The song is also a depiction of this world which could be so much easier and nicer and sweeter. Alas we have we have we have. We must march on and do our very to be the best we can be. Chk that and all of our amazing discography Mr. R suggested we have a discography well it was suggested by the “Borgz” and other well meaning advisors many moons ago. It took me a while to value/enjoy all I have done musically. Once again thanks to all those wonderful humans and truly amazing times and places. We hope to create more of that. We look forward.

The above is sent by a friend Farah who is the sibling of Shaed who has made contact with us after many years . It has been good to talk discuss and have a larf. I also must say that I dont practice anything or follow anything structured I just try and be a better human. I do practice me guitar and me songs and do know it is all joyful noise unto the creator. However whatever that may be. I do love that quote and I think we all in way can get that.

I leave this slog/blog with that image which I love and I am sure you have seen in me writings and ramblings. The above is our electric Rock band. Like all our music it changes and transforms. A track that I love from our latest release of that musical family. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/the-runner We try and stay alert and attentive to the sounds and contemporary music. We are also aware of how it all goes in cycles.

We are looking for live shows for all of our three musical units. So hit us up. lets communicate. babarluck(at)gmail.com is our email the best way for me. We are continually writing and creating new music . We will be releasing these and you can obtain them. As expressed above. so till next time love you all be well

Those who worked tirelessly their whole lives for the greater good. I do respect them. Those who stood in a crowded pub and tore down those who did not speak the truth I do respect them. Whilst I stood down and you lifted me up. I thank you and the choices you made to defend what could not be defended I also understand. Babar Luck is a style a way of living with unconditional love at the heart. Because truth is always the One We are going for the One. Always the One. That picture/street art/Graffiti is about the NHS which is One of the things that makes this united Kingdom a green and pleasant land. Thanks to all those who work within it support it and want it to grow not diminish. A song from kinspirit https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/track/green-pleasant-land

Those who in wisdom from when young knew like that wonderful man above. That is “Uncle Ron” he has a hash tagg #uncleronisneverwrong . He is never wrong apart from his support of a certain London football team. Many like him “aunties” and “uncles” Have expressed the dice are loaded and we all have been exploited but that is NOT a excuse for giving in or giving up. There is no greater effort then trying. The lifting one up and getting back on it. Those who worked tirelessly for the greater good and simply to feed their families as well as to build a shield to defend those who wanted to take what was not theirs. Defend what is ours honestly won. “If you take what’s mine I sure as hell will retaliate” recognise that famous song lyric?

Music is greater then and it is conduit to talk to the One. No matter what comes and what came it is powerful force ones harnessed Wil build a shield to protect all those who trespass. That man above is in one of them. He is a DJing in the picture above and wears his colours with pride what colours are those? We are fresh with new styles and flavours and new songs and new flavours but still going for the one. Love at the heart of all things.

Love animals I was raised by them in Canning Town united Kingdom . That is Frankie on one side of the glass and Billy on the other. They are loved and cherished cats.

We have 2 albums available via this website via paypal. We also have twenty one albums in all downloadable form https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/ We have made one every year for the last twenty years. We make one a year on average. But we are anything but average. check them all it is diverse styles what we do there be something that lifts you makes you feel something something that takes away the sorrow the pain and the simple fact of living in this challenging world. Many help me to make those albums. Each is a miracle.

We have also managed to get some actual albums to a shop that is close to those Punk/Alternative/Bohemian lifestyles we cherish and wish to support – Nick is the chap who controls that shop. With his brilliant staff. If you go into this shop in Camden London uk and ask for some Babar Luck stuff you may find some Babar Luck stuff I left it there some East End Trinity some World citizen folk and some Kinspirit – http://allagesrecords.com/ The address is 27A Pratt Street, Camden Town, London, GB NW1 0BG It is a place worth checking anytime you feel to hear that music that says something that means something. Something real. Something exciting.

Thanks to the wide diverse characters that have joined our spaceship now and over the years. It has been a pleasure the Galaxy and stars we have toured and seen. Like the Academic anarchist Azam khan funky Al Mark the hook Michael the soft spoken Irishman world citizen TJ Divers many many others some brief and some long some still with me those who are with me me with you. Nah forget I am going for the One. I always wish those who have been in me spaceship the greatest success and the best times and you are all in me big old heart me heart is bigger then London it has the capacity to include all of you.

There we are supporting a game. A sport. A illusion a distraction something that stops us from crying although it makes us cry. Real men dont cry….ha ha hee hee …you get me? Samajghei? Undericht? Overstand? You know what I mean ?

” WE TOOK A TRAIN TO A AWAY GAME OUR TEAM IT WON AND WE CAME HOME AGAIN,HAPPINESS WHEN IT COMES IT COMES IN THE BRIEFEST OF MOMENTS AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT IT IS GONE.”- Those lyrics are from one of me songs it could be a Babar Luck quiz which is that ONE from?

Silence is approval dont be afraid to take a stand. Speak whilst other dont speak. Teach while others dont teach. There is the One to go to Honesty above all. Till next time

Something excites. We are musicologists born without power we make our own earth signals via the “Borgs” who document the future of tomorrow. We have recorded again. We are making new things. I have to recall that city life even when it stands in front of me. Love that city life. Love that countryside. Love this green and pleasant land.

The multicultural world I am always in. We are judged by the way we look and i stand amongst everybody with abandonment. There is no cloak or costume. There is love in abundance. There is dance in that word abundance. Even if you cant dance throw some shapes. I cant dance I throw shapes and laugh at myself like the first time you so me flying in me spaceship.

Went to Camden a place I frequented many times,met a nice man. Had a chat. Did not take photos of the first chap Jon at the Underworld took photo of the other chap Nick. Camden is a place when you are a visitor you end up there. It is a place to visit. All ages records shop is a Punk Alternative musical affair. Top place for that kinda sound. None more Punk or alternative then I. I am jazz. Jazz like the beast it was was like Punk was . Punk Jazz like Mozart and Mingus Mohammed Rafi and the Beatles in their primal Deutch best. I love it all the music speaks to me. Took me away from the corner of that room made me take centre stage.

Wide awake there is Nick with that East End Trinity album and in the last slog blog we were playing on a stage. You can order that cd via this spaceship. Or check our many albums all on one platform https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/ to download. Also from next week you should be able to buy the cds we do have 3 (different cds) in all from that shop in Camden London uk. Details Wil follow. So for those who ask me for the actual stuff. It is good stuff made with love and care. There is very little care in this world. It is a kill or be killed world my love. Sadly. The good of the world still make the world go round. Thank you the good of the world. Count those blessing. Accept those facts. #forgiveandmoveon #dontforgivebutmoveon

There is another link for you thats kinspirit a duo we make music together. It is teamwork all our music. This is the link to the Kinspirit https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/album/kinspirit-origins Jason is independent does his great music as well as our Kinspirit. Whilst he is about in me life it is good to make our special little songs. About special peoples like you and yes YOU!!!

That’s me with the edge of a telecaster guitar showing. We are putting some keyboards down with Mark The Hook and this is the third album he is playing on. This time it is the second part of Chronicles of Jhon Brute those who wil rememeber the first adecade ago. It is my Ziggy Stardust aka David Bowie mine is Jhon Brute aka Babar Luck. A amalgamation of other peoples lives and fictional transformations. It does have a happy ending. Jhon Brute deserves one. Also Jhon Brute deserves greater instrumentation and musical density. We have putt much blood sweat and tears into this as well lots of funny paper. Funnily enough that’s what makes the world go round as well. Thank you funny paper.

The guitar above is a Chinese guitar. The body is Chinese. The electrics and toggles have been putt in by Mark the Hook. He also plays bass but what he is best at is writing songs. Also embellishing and finding hooks within other peoples songs. He is a team player like all me dear musician friends and associates. So when you find Babar Luck music please recall and remember those wonderful musicians who graft and sweat for me an get very little rewards apart from my wonderful humour my brilliant jokes and my smouldering beauty and most importantly my humility. They get very little funny paper if anything at all in fact some of them would say they loose more then they gain. I would say they gain more then they loose. It is Interior work not exterior work. I have my feelings. They have theirs. The music is a miracle. Each album I make is a miracle it happens. Miracles make the world go round. Thank you Miracles.

The picture above was took candidly by me. In another house. I was with a dear friend who showed me to another friends house. They will remain unknown but the point being made by me is that reality is stranger then fiction. Sometimes it takes bad men to get bad men. who is worse or better. Those who get to tell the tale I suppose. Or the last one standing. For all those standing. Those who are standing make the world go round. Thank you those who stand.

That was the Babsocaster guitar neck. It has seen better days the truss rod could not keep it straight. Or stable any more. Wear and tear. It was made to be played with my electric music. The guitar has a new neck now. Thank you to Uncle for fixing that. It is like a new guitar. Some areas I grew up in have the term “reign your neck in” it is said when one is being too annoying or being rude about something or someone. Those who “Reign their neck in” do so for countless reasons. It is best to not let that situation reach that point. Best to be a peacemaker. Power to the peaceful.

Like that street art. It made me smile. That’s important to me. Those who are too serious need to do what I say in the above paragraph. Life for us in our decadent western culture is a easy one compared to most of the world. Our two party systems with those who rule us being vulgar contradictory and shallow beyond reason. They are the mighty and strong they have shown that we must abide by their ideas and indoctrinations. Some of us have the sight to see. yes eye. Most of us just follow. It is a choice. we are lucky to be able to speak and raise our voices. Silence is approval. We can make a better world. choose your battles wisely and dont give up. Those who dont give up make the world go round. Thank you those who dont give up.

I love you all 100% Some more then 100% is that numerical mathematically possible? you figure it out. Incidently we do have three live working musical units. We are ready and willing to play so get in touch. Communicate. We love to edutain and entertain. Till next time …
