Wednesday, 15 April 2009. BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY. Captain’s blog. Stardate: Spring 2009. Six months have passed already. I can’t believe it. What a ride. This shall be my last post from the mountain. I’ll be here for a week or so still, but that time will be full with packing down and saying goodbyes. When I have time for thinking, I’d like to be free just to think. And I’d like to say goodbye to the place privately. But do not be alarmed! Earlier today, as I sat watching the river run through my kitchen (se...

Monday, 30 March 2009. PADMA'S EARTH HOUR 2009. Here is my little contribution. As you can hear, it was raining outside! It rained solid for 24 hours and the spring is now running well again. Thank you weather system! Friday, 27 March 2009. Just wanted to break from my usual one post a week to say that tomorrow (March 28th) at 8.30pm, you are warmly invited to turn off your lights for one hour. This is will be going on all over the planet: http:/ www.earthhour.org/. Tuesday, 24 March 2009. Unlike an elec...

Padma's blog: The music that they constantly play, it says nothing to me about my life
http://padmamusic.blogspot.com/2010/04/music-that-they-constantly-play-it-says.html
Thursday, 1 April 2010. The music that they constantly play, it says nothing to me about my life. I'm starting to look at booking a UK tour for later in the year. Where should I play? Who should I approach? I care about music so much that most of it drives me insane. Most of what I hear on the radio makes me want to smash things up. So it is perhaps unsurprising that my music does not sit comfortably in the standard live music scene. What's the music like? What are the lyrics about? My music is not enter...

Padma's blog: The winding road to album release: Latest news
http://padmamusic.blogspot.com/2010/04/winding-road-to-album-release-latest.html
Tuesday, 20 April 2010. The winding road to album release: Latest news. I was supposed to be filming and doing a photo shoot this weekend. In the end the photo shoot got postponed, which worked out well since I was totally exhausted and it was chucking it down with rain all day. The filming went pretty smoothly though:. Beautiful weather, beautiful room, did a nice live version of 'Consumers of the World, Unite! Complete with loop pedal, plus an interview for the EPK (electronic press kit). My name is Pa...

Wednesday, 28 January 2009. Video blog: Back in the UK. Here is this week's video blog at last! Had some trouble getting it uploaded. Thursday, 22 January 2009. I have just realised that I left my copy of Walden in the studio at the BBC, so here's a quote from The Smiths:. 8216;Fame, fame, fatal fame. It can play hideous tricks on the brain. But still I’d rather be famous than righteous or holy, anyday anyday anyday.’ Morrissey, Frankly Mr Shankly. The actor is incredulous. ‘But why? 8216;Because, not on...

Monday, 23 February 2009. AUTONOMY, AND HOW LOVELY IT IS. This week's quote is not from Thoreau, but from a Buddhist academic called David Loy, basically because I read an article. Of his this week and found it interesting. Also, an article of my own has been published on Off-Grid.ne. And now for the blog:. Buddhist Reflections on Technology. I am free to do all this as I see fit. I can’t get sacked, sued or passed over for promotion. And I don’t need to hire a contractor with a certi...There is a genera...

Saturday, 20 June 2009. First video from Vancouver. Saturday, 13 June 2009. WOODY GUTHRIE, A HUMMING BIRD, AND OTHER STUFF. Things have been quite busy of late. Went to a seminar on placing your music in TV, film and computer games. A couple of music producers came up from LA to talk about their work. So I am taking advantage of being on the West coast. To sign this band! I’ve also been outside of Vancouver for the first time. Out into the wilds. Saw a bear! Amazingly there were a couple of tourists who ...

Sunday, 31 May 2009. SITTING ON A GOLDMINE. Mike Reynolds, the architect who designed the Earthship, quoted in Chris Turner’s exellent ‘The Geography of Hope’. Yesterday I was out trekking on Bowen Island, which is a small island off the coast of Vancouver. Amazingly beautiful and chilled. Lovely. The sun was shining, the breeze light, birds singing, huge trees providing shade. Anyway, my life in the city is going fine. I am happy. The older I get and the more I move on, the clearer it is to me t...Went ...

Thursday, 16 July 2009. Sorry I'm being a terrible blogger at the moment. Got so much on with life and recording demos and writing the book that there isn't much time left for other things. So, quick brain dump for you:. I interviewed two of the world's leading speakers on co-housing the other week. It was fascinating. I got back to my apartment and found out that my video camera had run out of space for the first time ever, so the interview was lost! The founder of the cohousing movement. I will write s...
