The past few weeks have been very busy. The new deadline for my
still under construction album is only 3
weeks away. I'm getting excited again!
And I don't care about trying to make an album for the marketing people anymore.
What they want appeals to a very narrow segment of the population anyway.
And since I love all kinds of music, I find it boring listening to bands that write
different versions of the same song 12 times over!
Is it the fault of the Record companies or the bands for being so one dimensional?
I think we should be told.
Continuing on the theme of Webfullness:
Mac Fix it is a site that brings you
the latest
news about all of your Macintosh software. Almost every peice of software you use is
constantly being updated.
This is a most webfull site.
Spend an hour bringing yourself up to date on the latest system and application software.
The season is well under way, and other than Eddie Irvine, looks to
be a
great one! The TWR Arrows seem to have found enough reliabilty to at least allow Damon to
test for a
few days.
The improvement in Brazil was massive. When is the new Yamaha V10 coming?
Stewart GP
have also shown some speed, but it seems that a bit more testing would be in order.
The big question is when will Ford get their V10 on a par with the Yamaha, let alone the
Renault,
and will Ferrari sort out their chassis? ( The Sauber goes well enough with last years
Ferrari engine!)
Thanks to my brother Dr Charles Jones, Boole Fellow in Political
Philosophy, Department
of Philosophy, University College Cork, Ireland for this weeks lovely quote, and where he
found it!
"Your site of the week should be the Public
Information Research homepage,
where I found the Alex Carey quotation.
It's full of references for people interested in big business, government, CIA, etc. The
source for the Carey
quote was their article called Along
Came the Transnationals.
Also worth a look is the Left Business Observer."
Thanks Charles!
"The twentieth century has been characterised by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy."
