about

Throughout human history, the belief that unhappy gods punish us with natural disasters has been a prevalent feature in most cultures where there is a deity-based belief system in place.

Based on an astonishing conversation I overheard recently, the character featured in this offering explores the idea that the erratic, extreme weather conditions we are increasingly experiencing may be the work of an unhappy deity, and perhaps changes need to be made to accommodate this notion.

This folky/reggae influenced one, I like a lot.

lyrics

How about the weather?
Crazy weather? We’ve got snow in July

What have we done to earn this?
What have we done to earn this?

What have we done to earn this?
What have we done to earn this?

What have we done to earn this?
What have we done to earn this?

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
