Month: October 2024

Singing songs for “auntie” and our little “cuzz”. This is one of me extended families . A very dear friend we are close as we disentangle the world as it is. Like the realest friends we have discussions. These discussions cover vast territories.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/choices

All the links are from our music. It is made with love, with a wide variety of sounds and genres. With incredible musicians. Investigate further …

It is a matriarchal household. This is also something that can cause a dispute or two. It is a dual heritage household. A household built on trying ones best. Built on creating positive change. Also being aware of the stark realities of this world. There is love there is humor.

The above painting is by Papp Norbert he is a artist. Our friend knew him from years ago and he is doing very well as a artist nowadays. That painting was framed by our friend Scrim ages and ages ago…… Art is one of things that can give our soul sustenance in this challenging world.

That chap above reached reached great success on a level. To achieve anything in the world of show business requires much compromise and much good fortune. Even if one has all the business acumen cash and strategy. Done a few top tunes that chap above. That book was passed to me from someone who works to bring humans together via music and to celebrate diversity.

Truth is subjective . Idealism and the pursuit of change is slow. Justice is very difficult it can always get worse. It is hard to explain to humans from different backgrounds and cultures their story. Most are simply not interested. Or simply working so hard to feed their families they dont have TIME to wake up. That is also understandable.

……..Well below is me pouting to look as sexy as possible. We try and distract and cause some thought. We try and live love and be loved. We can make a difference…..there u go me “sesame street politics”…..

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/surrender

Our’s is a house of love. We try and live that ideal. It is not easy. We can forgive and we can let things go. This can take a long time. We are far from perfect and within us there needs to be a greater change. We continue to seek forgiveness and acceptance and create a better world the best we can ….Good Luck out there. ……till next time

Love animals. They do cause me much joy. The animal above is Hettie we met for the first time the other day. Was making music with mr. Beardsworth a creative person. Music based association. Tuning into things. Idealists in a room.

Graffiti art painting….so hidden it may not be seen….that’s a abstract sentence…but me point.

There is nothing more or less. Part of things we hope to continue. All the links in this slog/blog are from our vast catalogue. We have discussed that many times. All our albums are on one platform. Do investigate.

That is Stan above a lovey character also requires much love and attention. That is one of Borgs associates. The lady who looks after Stan is music maker and does amazing sounds. Watch this space I am sure I shall share some of her music. Stan has abandonment issues. Many peoples do. Heart of life to be wanted and loved. We all need human contact. Some more then others…

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/awoken-2

Free to do what we like. That is what cats like to do. Most cats. That little lovely and her mate who also looks the same. I am more of a cat person. I know we have a array of hounds on this weekly writing. Objective being to try and raise awareness of my music and ideas. It is one thing I try and do. As everything is digitalized and I am told it is the future more then the past. We shall see.

Some peoples n this earth dont have water or food. And we are digitalized. Ever resource is being controlled by a select few. I know them those select few. Those untouchables.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/gs-for-life-2

…….That man above what a nice chap. He knows Gea. wow!!! St Anns late 80’s early 90’s. Oh what linear line. what painting. live the life. Nottingham.

The untouchables. The privileged. They come to my shows and hang out with me and I with them. It cant be helped they have time to reach my shows and expendable income. As I have time to do the shows and try and show them about LOVE. They genuinely are so removed from friendship and love in their pursuit of money power and control their addictions are so obscene. I am so obscene. We are the same sometimes. I tell them this and they dont like it. I know I should be quiet. And behave. Be told. They tell me how to behave. They are the real G’s. Not me. Me Desi. I eat with my hands.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/king-of-london-town

Mother earth. The protection of her and how we use she. It is what we are about. As all indigenous peoples as all truth seekers are. It is apparent all the thing we do in all of our back and forth. That is what we care about. That is why chaos war cruelty and obscene and nasty behavior distracts us. We bow down to the machine. We can be free. We can make the change. We try and break the chains.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/dream-on

I have studied many before me. I know where the real rebels and their ilk end up. I have also been to the promise land ha ha hee hee …Not even close to that one. Yes so you know many greater and brilliant agitators came before me. I am humbled. The sacrifice they made is greater then I can do. I am Canning Town heart. Steel works 1805. I dont even know any players in that team. What team?. It dont matter.

We make the world what it is. There is no excuse. Don’t make any ….Till next time …

We all come from women. We all have mothers. Most of our mothers will love and protect us. There are exceptions to those rules . But 99% of mothers give unconditional love. It may be harsh but it is a mothers love. Above is a mother with her extended family and friends and of course there is food being prepared….Karoly is a family friend the powerhouse mother of his is pictured above. She deserves front page billing. Bless she and those amazing mothers.

Ukraine war began almost three years ago. People at the time amongst the media and ruling elites were adamant that Russia a huge power would somehow loose. The fact that there was genuine concern from most detractors who pointed out the complicit behavior of NATO America UK Germany other western nations. Biden (usa leader) and his crew were the heroes I am told. Ukraine with a actor boss like Reagan (who was the lover of the “Iron lady” Margaret Thatcher) Ronald Reagan was a B movie one. A good B movie actor. I recall my step father Keith J Luck getting very upset with me when out of my mouth I uttered some words to defend that Ronald McDonald type guy.

I was young then and being indoctrinated to buy the Sun (a daily comic rascist misogynistic vulgar which is read by a huge UK audience defended by them loved by them it is a Bible of sorts) then support me football team and teach my children to be like everyone else….learn to behave possibly get a wife a dog dream of my “shiny metal boxes” …like Cass Pennant ….canning town heart. West Ham FC 1805 steel metal works…working class hero….tra la la la Appy dayz..

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/working-class-roots-2

The billionaire class/ruling elites really really wanted that Ukraine Russia war. The desire to make profit from war and thirst for blood is unquenchable. This is common knowledge. Now as we stand 2024 peoples/friends/associates and billionaire western media dont like to talk about Ukraine. The country has been decimated those poor innocent. The problem with war is the innocent and the vast majority are the bullet catchers for the masters. Courage is always required whether to persist or desist. That’s the world all over since time sadly …peace love compassion forgiveness is no where to be seen….Love Idealism is mocked ridiculed and violently opposed.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/slaves-be-free

I am aware of all faiths respect them and dont question them. It is easier life then. Gods/Goddesses and all some would say human made stories and fantasy and moral tales…that we idolize whether it is a bloke on a cross or some Sanskrit that no one can read or some chants that no one can pronounce. Collectively we twist and turn and seek out some Divine designs before humankind. If they did not exist we would make them up. Above that’s that Goddess Kala. These are used as tools to oppress and control our freedoms. Usually by those that wield the biggest bat or biggest gun.

Below is a quote from a recently deceased musician. Ka hipp hopp close to spoken word. Close to our heart. Brownsville new York. Grief pedigree. A creative ghost of Gill Scott Heron. A eloquent brother of Sean Price who was equally great. But totally different. Hipp hopp is a vast universe. It is the most influential musical art form of recent times. Of course the mainstream populist artists you may be aware off are nothing to do with what we need. To name them there is no need. They like most pop music throughout the entertainment industry has no validity or soul or compassion. It grooves us moves us and leaves us empty and unfulfilled. Like bad food like Netflox and other bollocks….of which I enjoy I am addicted. Sometimes.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/when-two-worlds-collide-2

Below is a cute black dog. Looking out the window. The chap on the “one eyed monster” is Noam Finklestein he is someone who seeks out truth. Truth is subjective if you have a closed mind. I sometimes use that word “subjective” to not get into a argument with some fool. I cant debate. I cant argue. I get angry or uppset. Or simply walk away. I have learnt to be silent. I have learnt to walk away. I have learnt to let sleeping dogs be alone. Sometimes. I am no saint. There we go…Again I do point out that chap for greater study and truth speaking. It is not kool or attractive but it is truth. As someone who seeks knowledge it is important to get wide variety of information dissect it and come to a perspective. Not to be rigid but flexible. Be like paanee. Be like water.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/working-class-roots-2

Below is song written with Tina Turner by a chap I met a few times. Part of the music industry. He played the music and not the game. Possibly both. I dont know. Got lucky worked hard wrote songs. Lovely bloke I met him via another lovely bloke who has assisted us in making use of my talents.

https://www.instagram.com/repairs_on_the_bench/

My musical talents. He said “carry on do your music”. or words to that effect. As all those who love and have passion for something that does not involve killing another human or belittling others or being a greedy pig or taking advantage of others or being a snob ……..you get the drift….. it is nice to be nice and good to be good and it is very difficult thing to do….TRUST.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/trust-2

Below we are revisiting a project based in Nottingham with another James and we are hooking up with some top musicians. Babar Luck and the Lovers. That’s the project title. We are also friends with some wonderful humans in Nottingham. I do try and get shows from time to time. Some feel I need to to do something onstage. I enjoy performance. So thanks to Acoustical we shall be doing some tunes onstage. At https://www.instagram.com/theoldbusdepot/ on sunday 20thoct 2024. 7.40pm

https://www.acoustickle.com/

So we come to another ending like beginnings and we count the things we have around us and our friendships and fellowships. Those are precious and much needed. Should be valued. we continue to raise awareness of what effects us and makes us sad or happy.

Please do chk the links they are not in any order or on a persuasive mission. We want peace and harmony for all nations we want to make a better world for all the children. Not just the select few. Till next time.

Our last full band album, is the second part of John Brute aka Babar Luck.

This is a fictional character based on peoples I valued and admired whilst young. John Brute aka Babar luck. David Bowie had Ziggy Stardust I got John Brute.

Uncle “Nutts” one of the inspiration for John Brute and his mantra was….

“ The whole world is gangster there are no rules make your own rules. Money is God. Who wields the largest Gun gets the price.”
Sadly the world lives by that mantra.
Other awe inspiring words of wisdom I learnt when growing up. “No one respects a coward.” And … “Get them before they get you.” And of course “Real men don’t cry.”

As a sensitive and rebellious child I thought I would combat that in me own way with words and songs and living to the other “examples” other then violence and the pain the sorrow the fear that comes with that.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/the-chronicles-of-john-brute-part-2

So we have tried and continue to try what I call the “Trying ballet” and countless other things over the years. Contrived Evil which is the killing of innocent lives continues. The decadent vulgar political democracy based on profit margins and corruption the veil of morality “ Do as we say not as we do.” Continues. War and hate is a profitable business module.

I am also aware that the sign posts of morality via ancient ideas is ignored. The peace maker and seeker of peaceful resolutions are mocked attacked or even killed.

Most are so afraid of facing reality we continue to build walls around ourselves and others. Continue to throw stones each one insisting we are on the right side.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/they-dont-live-that-lifestyle

Of course I am told in this world “death dance” we have to take sides.

Oft I say what side are you on?

If u don’t choose u have still made a choice. That non choosing usually means the bully will win. We have taken sides. We have compromised. We have chosen to be meek in front of vulgar brutal violence. We have chosen to justify injustice rather than oppose it. Well we have learnt to obey oppression.

That image above is the first album of John Brute above. I have made some T shirt to celebrate that. The latest is thirteen years later the same character. But a full band of musicians. Do investigate the explore Luck world. There are also moments of Joy. It cant be all violence and bloodshed.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/king-of-london-town

Seek Idealism. Truth over love. Truth with love. We know empathy humility forgiveness.

It is recognizing we shall have to contradict oppose stop by any means necessary to what we cant agree with. Does that mean more war? Does that mean pacifism where we will be incarcerated ignored or simply killed.

To most of us that’s pacifism and its end result. It is apparent VIOLENCE is what we have chosen or were forced to choose…… Below a bit of artwork n the music I make to heal ….ALL OUR MUSIC is that …..Healing straight talking but Healing.

There have been heroic and inspiring pacifism throughout history. Do we have statues in this earth to celebrate them? Or books easily attained that are taught in colleges and halls of power? NO. NO. NO.

Pacifism has defo caused others to pass Us by.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/love-is-the-greatest-force-on-this-earth

Excuse me I use the royal we.

Again we love to love we use that.

Don’t we all try and make that happen. Live our lives with LOVE in the world. Love makes it bearable. Love has many qualities inside that is idealism.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/equal-share

Regardless of our institutions n system we seek LOVE as a truth. I do love you all I know it is not possible for all of us to fulfill those roles of heroic sacrifice for the greater good. To save those innocent overseas and in our nations. This vast universe of pain and sorrow.

BUT To those of us who can SPEAK who have a voice who can CHOOSE. THOSE in power. ALSO their children can speak to their mothers and fathers and say something. I know this is happening. We have to TRY MORE. Keep talking about your passions your belief systems and how LOVE is crucial.

We can make a better world for all the children not just the select few. Continue the best u can till next time ….

I am Romeo and you are Juliet. How we love. It never needs to end. We have lived through those tragedies failure of words and then spears then knives then guns. The poisoned chalice in all it’s variant forms. We love we dance and when we embrace we cant let go.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/wear-my-crown

Shujat Ali Khan is a singer with the lineage of 500 years. Honored to hear him and his crew the other day. Great what they do. Like African Groit singers one of me faves is Salif Keita to name one. That’s what they do and those Ghazal’s and Kawaalees are stories of love unrequited celebrated but always remembering the Divine. However peoples calls it is down to you to feel it. If you feel it then get it. If you dont dont worry about it.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/no-truer-words-2

Lone rogue states have tried in the past. It seems very likely India other parts sub continent and china and Africa will unify, have their own currency and the USA and European monopoly will fall. I live in the decadent west with all the blood my family gave to build this wonderful Empire I feel that I sit and relax and watch it fall. Preferably sipping a “Halal Whisky in me left and the Herb stick in my right.” A song Jason and I sing when we do sing together….

https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/track/empires-fall

Pauline Black above has a OBE. For her services to the empire. I am sure Pauline would be equally happy singing songs in squats or mansions as long as she was given respect and love. Her music is defiant human compassionate British uniquely “two tone”. Personal stories and history make us. How far do we dare look back? The further we study the crueler it gets. But what remains is love. Only love. We fought by any means necessary we fought we embedded we diluted ourselves to be able to breath to be able to move to be free.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/travel-that-road

Newall or Noel above is a top musician wide spread geography amazing musicality. That night that passed was good one. One of me friends who has forgiven me for me uselessness took me out. It was very good. The standard was high. All the musician played well. The power of music has that effect if used wisely it can heal and it can help us to forget the pain the sorrow the pointless and endless wars. In the right hands which are used to embrace to build to assist to care.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/winners

Excuse these two photos but their blur-redness is like the shadows that are created when lovers embrace. When tears are shed and when shame is no more. I tell all no better then anybody and nobody is better then me. Like Dream time mother earth is divine. Like crazy Horse going into battle “what a glorious day to die”. I could not forget did you think I would? Did you think my mother raised a coward? What did you think evil can come and kill us all? No way. Be on the right side of history make that choice. Speak that truth. Truth over love. Always for all the children on this wonderful earth. Not the select few.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/trust-2

Dreamers and me sesame street politics. Lott of you who may read this may think that. I am blessed to have correspondence from time to time from all over the world. The words I get are Thank you. Because those voices and those untold stories are important. The search for freedom one vote for one human. Lets say democracy. Lets say a more equal earth in the sense we try and save her. Point being the point of being. When we say that it genuinely will upset most people in power as they are complicit as we are in creating change. Or stalling blocking stopping and building false truths. Respect mother earth.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/respect-mother-earth

Thanks to the Slackers are a band from the USA for playing a brilliant set the other night. Good to see Vic and David do their thing. George thanks. Also Jon at that venue for calling me and telling me “I like you not many do but I do.” It all helps Jon. I wish like wise I was well oiled machine with pragmatic skills and the ability to bring things together. Feed everybody. Look after myself and me family. My amazing children. Their even more amazing mothers. Alas I can just about brush me teeth and comb me beard……I can speak n I can shout. We are all good at diff things I suppose.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/i-comitted-a-robbery

Music has kept me out of those puzzle rooms. Those prison cells. Too many of my friends have been tricked out of freedom. Listen young ones hold it down. Bite that lip. Write it down. Write down what you want to do to them. Write it down how it made you feel when your “uncle” the hardest man you knew stepped to the side, to protect you. There will always be consequences when bullies are battled. The main thing as me uncle said “Never become like them”. Live love be loved be brave.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/wanna-be-like-me

Romeo and Juliet you and I…..or are we continuing the trying ballet I have me pink tutu…shall we dance one two three…..till next time….

We are looking for live shows for our three working musical units. The approach the communication and some money is essential. We look forward.
