I originally wanted to post in my blog here once a week, I did for a while but that went out the window. I just saw a news story with Musk talking about the latest chips that they are implanting in pigs etc. Reality catching up with my “Mymynd” sci-fi story. Anyway other than that not much going on, well, there’s now half a million dead in the US from covid. Oh and monster storms across the country causing mayhem, etc etc. A few things I guess.

Musicians are screwed worse than ever now.  I can just hear the club owners telling the bands, “now I’ll book youse guys but I hope you won’t draw a crowd!” Twilight Zone all the way.

All my music recording gear has become obsolete, not supported, and incompatible not to mention that both my computers went down for the count. So I’m on a learning curve to catch up with what I have to, to be a “Youtube recording artist”. Hopefully sooner rather than later I will have more music to offer on the net for a nominal fee, ha! Any promises made in past blog entries are subject to change or whatever…

If the virus goes away the future will be on us instantly and still no real forethought by our “leaders”. What is it about humans that we need “leaders”?

Well, the times are changing for better or worse and it’s all up to us, the number one species on the planet. How comforting.

So in keeping with the times here is the latest durantula news:

1. I have finally decided that my sci-fi short story, (My Mynd) started in installments featured on early Blogs will be better suited elsewhere, stay tuned for updates

2. AI is taking over, if not already. We will not know when the transition will take place, it is all top secret and misinformation makes it impossible to know the truth. Everyone will soon need a microchip implant to verify vital signs to prevent future pandemics.

3. On a brighter note, I am trying to fight the new tech challenges and produce an EP of songs about death performed in an upbeat, joyful way! Should be ready for streaming soon, check back.

4. You tube seems like the future now at least for a while, maybe if my staff would come in to work instead of worrying about getting sick we could get some progress going here!

I guess I predicted all this in song without knowing it.

I am posting another FREE song .mp3 right here called “I Wonder”. I might come up with an EP for the times, I could call it Mass Extinction maybe, ha. anyway I hope this works and thanks for listening. I wrote this song in the 1960’s and never even recorded it at home until I put down this track as part of the”Welcome to Earth” CD in 2002.

I am not a fan of mp3s let alone streaming sound so I just hope your shitty computer speakers sound better than mine!

Everyone knows I have a warped sense of humor so don’t get mad at me for posting this MP3 of a song that I wrote and recorded almost forty years ago called “Wash Your Hands”. It’s really about sleazy music industry guys but seems oddly appropriate now. Don’t try to rip this off though, you know how I am, Ha!    ©1981

Recently some “vintage” durantula merch has been found and now offered on the Store page of this site.
A small number of NOS durantula CDs and EPs with the Moaimen and Aliens also have turned up along with some durantula T-shirts, I am selling them myself to those of you interested. Most people nowdays are listening to these tunes available on the streaming media sites but I still greatly prefer CD sound quality over mp3 and streaming sources at this point. Along with the vinyl revival will come the CD revival, and now you can get in on the ground floor right here! These collector’s items are sure to appreciate in value substantially in the future, right?

Anyone with questions can always E-mail me at durantula@durantula.com
So check out the store and more updates that are ongoing across the site here in 2020!

2020 marks the 18th anniversary of the Durantula.com website! Thanks for all your support.

Serious inquires about durantula guitar pickups are welcome for those who would like to see this innovation in sound change the status quo for modern guitarists!

So more to come…

2020 Time to revamp and renew the website. Look for new music on sale here on “old formats”. All durantula music is still available on music download sites of course. More to come…

2019!

Welcome to the future, it’s going to be a wild ride!

Trying to stay positive in this world of so much misery is a real challenge. Most of us here in America have it good compared to others so we need to count our blessings but to people expecting to immigrate here, good luck to you. Our politicians are mostly corrupt and just looking to make themselves and their friends rich off the backs of the poor and middle class, I guess it’s always been that way but with the population of so many more humans now, problems are multiplied. Hopefully the future will bring solutions. We will see…

2018  Time marches on…New guitar pickup announcements expected soon, stay tuned, and thanks for all the recent birthday wishes!
