Potentially, yes. Really – do you think the suits in high places like us being able to disrupt industries, undermine monopolies and overthrow governments using upstart technology that they have no control over?

The Wrong Voice tells you to do things to make money. It says “Make money first, then you will be free to pursue your dreams”. But the Wrong Voice is full of crap. The Wrong Voice comes from your Lizard Brain, the amygdale. It’s the reptilian part of your brain that is not very intelligent [...]

by Seamus on November 28, 2011
in Fluff, Music Business, Music marketing
Brains are sticky, and unfortunately this means that as you suffer the inevitable rolls in the dust piles of life, fluff sticks to your brain and starts to build up. This is especially true for creative types. I think that this is because the ideas in our brains are inherently stickier, thus attracting more fluff. [...]

Yesterday I sat in meeting with my two business mentors and realised that despite what I like to tell myself to the contrary, I am a fluffy-brained creative type, not a hard-nose businessman. Both of these guys are very successful businessmen but in a grounded low-ego kind of way. When I say successful I mean [...]

in Music
A new recording and youtube video by Seamus Anthony (err, as in, me) I wrote “Creatures from the Bog” while driving in the country one day.

When Peter and Tony and I committed to starting a band, the search for a name was the order of the day. It had to be unique, not too long and we need to be able to buy the dot com … and (more of a challenge) we all needed to agree. Well it took [...]

By Seamus Anthony Yesterday, walking down our driveway, I came face to face to with a fox!

By Seamus Anthony Yes, it’s a cliche, but regardless, it is very important to realise that Life is all a game: if you play by the rules and play well, you score points and win prizes. The other day I was emailing my partner to tell her I had deposited some money into our shared [...]

in Motivation, passion
By Seamus Anthony We’ve all heard the cliché “it’s all about results”. But is it? It’s easy to have a passion for results. Bank robbers have a passion for results, so do suicide bombers.

By Seamus Anthony Things run in cycles – what was will cease to be, before coming around again into its time, back into existence.
