New Alluswe music – follow up to last Sean Bell blog

Briefly mentioned this song ‘Inflation’ in the last blog and that it wouldnt be heard….well, here it is.

This is basically a demo we recorded on an iPod microphone in a rehearsal room, 4/15/07.

Lorne Behrman on guitar
Terrence Jones on bass
Myself on the sloppy, drunken drums. Apologies to Kevin “TheGoodReverendDrJ” Nicholson who also drummed in this session. This was a recording we made before he got to the session. The recording we made with J had my scratch vocals all over it so couldn’t really use it.

Looped up and EQ’d what I could, added the keys this weekend and recorded a cleaner version of the lyrics (see previous blog).

Left the long intro so you could get a feel for the loose nature of this recording and also could sit in the session with us.

Emcees….there’s a blank 2nd verse there…. and the track is available for download from last.fm. Would love for you to collaborate and to hear you speak out on this situation.

We’ll post up every version we get sent in.

Some of the best news I’ve heard all week

The IMF is facing some structural readjustment of its own!

Robert Weissman notes that a bloc of countries has repaid its debts to the IMF and have not taken out new money. This is leaving the IMF with a budget crunch of its own. It’s need to correct the situation may result in large scale changes to it’s policies (being forced upon it) which could benefit a large portion of the world’s poorest. This piece is a great read and great news.
