Space Dude, In Your Space Suit, In Your Space Boots, Space Dude





Is Miley Cyrus the new David Bowie

Probably not, but Space Boots is an indication that someone's creativity resonates with authenticity and art on this track, and that took me by surprise.


I realise contemporary celebrity music requires a phalanx of songwriters, posses of producers, session musicians, mixers, voice artists, plug junkies, electrical engineers, processed audio cheese slices, studio rats, money worshippers, Sleb sycophants, groupie thinkers, OCD fame mania, explicit soul selling and relentless veneration of drugs and sexual promiscuity aimed at our impressionable young, who are least able to discern dystopian social engineering from pop culture.

However I claim Space Boots is not only punctuated with moments of brilliance but to my simple ear has the quirkiness and counter-intuitive solutions that emerge when a real artist takes control and externalizes their interpretation through song. I hope that artist is Miley Cyrus as not much else is wholesome in the globe trotting music biz.

Thailand at the International Criminal Court on Crimes Against Humanity

I'd appreciate it if any of my United Kingdom readers could raise an objection to David Cameron's intended holiday in Thailand as a guest of Prime Mininister Abhisit Vejjajiva in any way they see fit. I assume that's why Dave didn't book a vacation with Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe and so the same principle applies here.
