the site is gone and the musics gone on petes myspace
whats going on?
The site is back
I took down my music on myspace for I was starting to get hooked on how many plays I was getting a day and in danger of trying to make ego music that would keep the numbers up like all the bands and artists who get ruined by fame and sales. I would get cheers for the amount of plays a day, when what I need to do is make art and hide it so those who seek the truth will find it, and those who wait for what the masses like can follow that school of fish. I respect the lone fish or biker, I ride my Harley alone and I like it. I think about a gang or bike club and realize, I ride for the wind, freedom, economy, safety and peace going through traffic, all other ideas for riding are ego.

Me too. I was listening to songs from Integrity today. "Mexico" has that tropical trippy atmosphere. I love it.

Peter and Steve do unplugged concert on sandy Beach like street musicians. Then somebody film it. This fun I know.

So much for our ride. We'll have to meet for that plate. But, I understand!

Christ Pete, that must have taken some doing. I totally get what you're saying and i truthfully respect it... but it must have been hard. I mean, it's human nature to want to feel wanted and to get some level of adoration, even if it's only "faceless" via a web-site or whatever. To get that and then remove yourself from it??? Wow. I can easily see that it would be addictive, looking at the play count etc. Just don't make your beautiful music too fucking hard to find ok... i still remember when i picked up the Gratitude cd in summer '05 - Blown. Away. Played it to within a spin of it's life in just the first week. You're all time mate... all time.

Next Pete's gonna bury his music in a vault in the basement, and stand at the door with a shotgun. Maybe spread a few mines around the front yard. "If they really want it, they can come and get it."
JK, Pete. Respek!

I dig the "surf" leads in that one. So laid back and nice. He's onto something there
