http://islandsofecstasy.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Life in music. Music in life. By Shiffi Le Soy. Thursday, March 18, 2010. The John Lennon Museum. As an artist and rebel John Lennon has exerted a huge influence on my life. So there was no way I was going to miss an opportunity to visit the museum devoted to his life and work which is rather curiously located in Saitama near Tokyo. Rickenbacker guitars were a key ingredient of The Beatles’ early sound and Lennon’s first 'Rick' - surprisingly small in scale - is also on display. I became ...Other highlig...

Life in music. Music in life. By Shiffi Le Soy. Thursday, September 24, 2009. The Music of the Bulls. As I take my seat in the arena I notice I am situated directly opposite the bandstand. A chorus of trumpets plays popular tunes and heady Sevillan fanfares. But this is no concerto, opera or pantomime. It's the music of the bulls. A dance of death. An excited international crowd is eating snacks, drinking beer and chattering in Spanish, Italian and German. It's a fearsome, majestic sight, a primal force ...

Islands of Ecstasy: Atheist Manifesto
http://islandsofecstasy.blogspot.com/2010/02/concept-by-which-we-measure-our-pain_18.html
Life in music. Music in life. By Shiffi Le Soy. Saturday, February 27, 2010. Music and Religion Part 1:. John Lennon and 'God'. The success of the recent wave of atheistic books by writers like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens suggests that a vast number of non-believers are mighty tired of having religion stuffed down their throats. And - combined with his prodigious intake of LSD and canonization by fans - led to some bewildering episodes such as the famous occasion in 1968 when he ...

It Might Get Loud. On the creative side, It Might Get Loud. Tries to explain how a guitarist discovers his inner and outer space.

Life in music. Music in life. By Shiffi Le Soy. Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Somebody's sins but not mine. Music and Religion Part 2:. The Omnipotent Sky Wizard. This posting is in reply to Samuel's comment on my recent blog Atheist Manifesto. 1 Why have people in all cultures believed in God? If there is no God where do you get your morality? This has been demonstrated convincingly in instances of the collision between technologically advanced cultures and traditional tribal societies - so-called 'cargo cult...

Life in music. Music in life. By Shiffi Le Soy. Tuesday, December 22, 2009. Album of the Year. Last night the moon came dropping its clothes in the street. Jon Hassell's dreamy, meditative “Fourth World“ music has long been admired by discriminating listeners. Last night the moon came dropping its clothes In the street. Is Hassell's first recording for ECM since 1985, and is merely the latest in a long series of jaw-dropping experiments - including the astounding Power Spot. As he disdains fear, judgemen...
