OFFICIAL OFFLINE COVER ARTWORK

Over summer I spent many, many long days painting a great big canvas with all the album song titles in layers of gold paint and then doing a photo shoot dressed as a dominatrix hermaphrodite and printing that on large transparent film and then two weeks digitally combining both to finally settle on this artwork. I have named it Meta Hermaphrodite the thought being if we all move into the safe and fake metaverse everyone is going to remake their body with perfect body with great boobs and a large penis and the ability to fly etc - hope y'all dig the complexity:

No Lies - OFFLINE teaser single artwork

It is not on Spotify - they are dead to me after a year ago secretly pushing through several new rules that make it impossible for independent artists tracks to qualify for their already paltry and disrespectful streaming royalties - fuck pleeeease ditch Spotify if you can - YouTube Music is way better for the same fee BTY.

No Lies is the name of the song and let us call it the ballad of the album, no drums really and the slowest song on the album.

It is a song about the mega-greed all around us and just highlights how the senators and the elites earn billions of billions selling arms that kill innocent babies and children and women and men and they are on the stock market in plain sight getting rich off of war! It is fucked, evil and no bloody right.

Here are the lyrics:

NEW FARKING GFR MERCH!

Holy 1960s-era-superheros-in-tights Batman!

So said Robin in high pitched exclamation after Alfred the butler put their aforsaid tights in the hot wash and dryer cycle (I never understood why Bruce Wayne could only afford a butler with all those billions and meanwhile The Joker had an unending supply of henchmen) - I digress my gentle readers, forgive me I am very, very tired. This album has come to consume my life and my perception is so narrow it has taken to wearing extra layers of clothes less it disappear or fall down a grate or something.

Bah here is some new merch - available late April or pre-order now just shoot me - great show really, Nina Van Horn was the best female character of the 90s I reckon - here she is:

Nina Van Horn is a fictional character from the 90s sitcom Just Shoot Me! and was portrayed by Wendie Malick.

you forgot the merch..

My apologies what little time I have off I spend staring at Sons of Anarchy episodes in a daze threatening to light the unlit cig I rolled an hour previously, I shall get to the merch after a quick pick of Chips and Happi for the SAMCRO fans amoungst you:

And here is Jaxx all sweaty for the ladies:

you forgot the merch. Again..

You live my life and see how short your attention span is! awlrighty here is the new OFFLINE T-shirts (possibly the only ever GF merch not in black?):

..and to paraphrase Roy & HG "Too much merch is barely enough" so here is some more new merch being in the guise of new GUILTFILTER RECORDS bumper stickers:

& ONE LAST THING - SPIRIT RAISING PROTEST GIG

Keeping with the theme of criminal farking politicians step right up Vic ALP who are tearing down commission flats left right and centre (without consulting anyone as usual) and fucking up lives of good people for no other reason than they flushed so many trillion down the mouths of the richest 1% during their overlong and, lets be honest, fascist lockdown that they now are crying broke (they are not they have literally trillions in land they can sell that should have been given back to first nations years ago but remember what the Marquis De Sade famously said:

The richest, most corrupt and most morally evil members of society never fail to hold themselves up as paragons of virtue

Guiltfilter head honcho Magnus S. Morris (yes my new solo stage name is heavily inspired by my favorite duo of late and lamented drug guzzling authors with a S. in the middle of their pen-names, can you guess them?) is playing some solo tunes and some baritone guitar for F.U.N. at aforsaid protest gig later this month sunday arvo 26th April and yes I was absolutely stoked to be invited to play by my fave artist and painter Viv - thanks and please everyone come along a bunch of great bands are playing.

OK it's goodnight from me and it's goodnight from him ;)
