My Times


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.


I've heard more of the new Duran Duran album Medazzaland.
It's a very energetic album, and seems certain to be well received by the press and public.
Check out the new track from The Saint.


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!
