Hello to all the lovely people. At long last the new P puNk album is finally being mixed and should be ready for your ear very soon. I am very excited as I feel this is the best music project I have ever put my mind to.

It has been a pleasure working with Funky John and Donna Williams again. I feel we have an album in the bag thats going to grab the attention of a lot of people. My words are loaded against the establishment as usual and as for Funky Jonhs sounds and beats, well the man's gifted as far as I'm concerned. I asked him to make it sound like a circus meets chaos meets technology meets greed meets insanity, and the funny thing is, he has. I mean you tell me where you'd start with all of that and only 12 notes to play with?

We started with the title Zombie God Delicious two years back and worked our way forward from that concept bascially. The title speaks for itself and really you'll have to hear it for yourself to see how we've managed to capture the meaning of it in essense.

Over the next few years I plan to release many different projects. I am half way through my new book and I will be making another spoken word documentry very soon. All of my work is of a political/philosophical/educational/revolutioary nature and as much as I hope it will give you a better insight into the world in which you live, I also hope it will help open your eyes to the important work of many others.

In saying all that a young lady that goes by the name of Excentral Tempest features on the new Zombie God album. I wanted to feature her simply because she is one of only a handful of individuals I get the highest kind of inspiration from. She is a beautiful, lovely, intelligent, considerate, powerful young lady and I hope above so many things she is listened to by a huge audience over the coming years. Mother Nature really is fighting back. I'm so blessed that she is a friend.

Our world is filled with lies and truth. The air you choose to breathe is bottled in two ways. One bottle will fill the belly in the minds eye with mediocrity and one will fill it up with poetry. You get to choose the grail you want your brain to drink from.  pEACE AND lovEly frOm Yap.

Pink Punk’s second album, Zombie God Delicious, has now completed recording and is being mixed down by Funky John.

New tracks, new myspace, new web site, new videos all coming soon.....

Peace

Hi Lovely People. I hope all is well and lovely in your day. I will keep this on the brief side.

Tara Ireland; beautiful heritage site being destroyed by motorway. "They stole paradice and put up a parking lot" Is that how the song we all sing goes? I can't rememeber.

Anyhow the poetic troops are gathering on the hill of Tara, just outside Dublin, on the 31st of oct. The protest is on going and all are welcome to call and lend their support at anytime, however the next big gathering is on the date mentioned only two lines above.

I hope I can make it over there again on the 31st. I hope many more will come and join the people's party on the hill. Peace and lovely with jam on top.

For reasons I can't go into here, so I will

prostitution media
what do you mean what do I mean?
surely, surely, surely you see it?
city slick pricks tailoring the seams to fit what seems to be
moulding the dream to fit what's said to be
and it's always been this way or so they tell us

Who decides? you decide, why sure you do,
brand A, brand B, brand C....Pope bubblegum
high fashion Jesus in a bottle, wait it gets better

Jesus naked on a catwalk, that's my favourite one right there
hey ho, the apple is mine to bite, Tarantino pulp sculpt
the mucketh that runneth the cuppeth over
Tyson bite sized chunk, a pennies worth too small for the mention really...really?
the tiniest of the tiniest playing the tiniest of the tiniest
just the way you like it, rolled the way ya pipe it up
I mean who wants a lolipop?
'and the award goes to the black man with the Nike swastika on his shoulder'
what do you mean what do I mean?

I've seen it with my own eyes

Sin City brains popping out all over the place

fun for all the family
virtual Kissinger package

bags and bags of racket in a bottle
fifty different kinds of soda, fifty different kinds of pop, we want more
shop till you drop from our shop

buy your little piece of posh from our floor
wait it gets better, better off wallpaper-people setting the standards

as if
sisters screaming out for new tits
the mind boggles
choose life, choose life above illusion

choose a big new dandy dick for daddy baby

choose botox baby

rubber lip heaven
rubber lip heaven if ya don't mind
where was I?

The apple is mine to bite,
Gary-Gordon-Glitter-Brown types raping our children,
I know it, you know it, they know it, and do ya know what?
no one wants to listen, no one wants to listen
third world poverty Glasgow city
what do you mean what do I mean?
look out your bloody windows, plush costs
count the costs yourself
surely, surely, surely you see it
fee-fiefdom-foe-fumble-glory-hunters up to all kinds of naughty, naughty
bellicose, Berlusconi lots spoiling the pot for everyone
"what's the frequency Kenneth?" is right - at least they're not killing our children

that's who's mother?

that's your mother?

surely not?
your father, your brother, your sister, your God

how does one spell reality?

Enterprise Utopia

how to take the bull down by the horns and out
believe you me I'm already talking it
I'm walking it right now at the time of
turning old dimes over and nailing them down
hum your haws, hum your haws

tell me what's wrong with that
and to think Mary the Virgin almost had me
Anthropos Metron Panton

the apple is mine to bite
my world

my page

my day

my night

my family
my table to cut bread

my temple to burn.

Advertising, no sir, no way, nobody ever falls for the advertising,
like the whole worlds one step perfect up on parrot bubble verse,
life the show you can't rehearse for, closed until further notice, but in the mean time - advertising, advertising, no sir, no way, good lord, nobody ever falls for the advertising - Nature despise her face in life's - mirror mirror on the wall-too fat, too tall, too- how does one say this and keep a straight face? - Too plain for our table.

Taste the rainbow - try our bird and our bee - wear our shirt on your sleeve -
become the man you were designed to be - transform your life today -
Are you over thirty and still single? - whose norm were you born to fit anyway?
Advertising, no sir, no Mrs, no maybes, nobody ever falls for the advertising -
Brad Pittizing the man into six pack category hell - Poisoning the well -

Life style choices I can't afford to buy - price tags I can't afford to fly -
not for all the candy in the window - you get the picture - spin it- do not adjust your sets.

Advertising - splicing the dice to throw hands that add no weight to our lives -
patriotic, patriarchal snot bling - the shark so slllick these days one can't even see its fin coming - the virtual kings of channel sap pumping out empty - try the link effect - hotwiring the airwaves to tell us that, greed is good - saturation, masturbation, mutilation mind holocaust - the sheep running for the pen again cause the sheep are still lost - blind mice running towards the farmers knife - the plight of ignorance- super duper, uber alas, jingoistic fetishization packages - personality to order- fetishization packages - personality to order - can-ob-you-fu-not-sca-see-sion-it - the whole biscuit crumbling into monkey jumble - right there dead in front of you - blunder in our poetry - once you pop you can't stop - red sock dying the wash - loading language in a way that leaves one licked - tossed - in a bubble - the trouble here with you lot is that you don't listen- pro's selling their tise-ments to us in bad faith - enticing the mice with icing but no cake - twenty three black birds to the pie accurate- and that's right, party pooper, party pooper, come on, party pooper me- how does one strike the so-called pose.
