Ask Alfie Birmingham




I love people that have the gumption to get out there, I love people who have dreams and strive to make those dreams a reality, I love people who flourish, who have such a unique talent and recognise that they have that talent.

Ask Alfie, are a band from my hometown of Birmingham, UK. Their genre is unique, it's not pop, it's not rock, it's not hip hop - it's a combination of all three, a refreshing sound from a hard working band who are making waves across Birmingham's music circuit.

So, why is a pharmaceutical/regulator activist writing about an unknown bunch of musicians from Birmingham?

Two reasons:

1. They're bloody good

and

2. My nephew formed the band

He's a hard working kid, a family man, a talented lyricist.

Hey, maybe I'm biased but I have always had a love for music, from hard rock to classical. When I hear something that pleases the ear I like to tell people about it.

Ask Alfie have played the O2 Academy in Birmingham twice now, they are expected to headline their next gig there.

They are prospering but they need guidance, they need a manager to take them to that next level.

Who needs Britain's Got Talent when there are so many hard-working bands playing the local circuits every night across all the major cities in the UK?

Ask Alfie are one of those bands.

Two tracks below are:

Awkward Love and Karaoke.

Big Pharma—Define 'Better'



This needs airplay.

The message is simplistic. Word is getting out.

Maximum respect to Chill EB

Please feel free to share on your Facebook walls and Twitter accounts.

There is power in music...and in video:

From the CCHR stable of drug busting advocates.


Chill EB...I salute You!


CCHR...You already know what I think about you.

NO GUTS, NO GLORY - AIRBOURNE


Image: roadrunnerrecords.co.uk

Totally unrelated post today folks. Sometimes writing about GlaxoSmithKline, the MHRA and Seroxat, leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Thankfully, there is music in my life to take away such bile. Today I want to promote a band that not many of my readers will have heard of, not many will like them, particularly if loud rock isn't your 'thang'.


I remember when I first heard this band, kinda blew my socks off as AC/DC hadn't released an album or even toured in years.

Back then, as a myspace user, I joined the 'Airbourne' group page, it had about 24 members, today it has over 48,000.

I've been to see them twice in my home town and even reviewed their debut studio album, 'Runnin Wild'

It was ballbustin' pub rock at its best and time to clear off the cobwebs of the air guitar.

Airbourne will be releasing their second studio effort later this month. No Guts, No Glory is available to stream online at Road Runner Records. My first impressions? It rocks. It will take a few plays before I can review it.

If you are a fan of straight laced rock n' roll with guitars turned to eleven and vocals turned to twelve then you may just enjoy Airbourne's new offering.

You can listen to the whole album HERE

MY NEPHEW





This is the première of my nephew's new video, 'Hometown Heartbr'ache'.

'Grimes', known to me as Ash, has been busting his guts for the past few years to get a record deal.

A talented writer and a great work ethic should see him snapped up pretty soon.

Proud of you 'Grimes'

Drinks later.

GSK - A Catalogue of Disasters!

Holocaust - an act of mass destruction and loss of life.

Paxil
GSK misrepresented the results of its research to its sales representatives, saying it had "remarkable efficacy and safety in the treatment of adolescent depression".

Zyban
Eighteen smokers have died after taking Zyban - the new 'wonder cure' for nicotine addiction.

Wellbutrin
Wellbutrin was withdrawn in 1986 because of an unacceptable incidence of seizures. It was released back to the market in 1986 for unknown reasons.

Imitrex
Plaintiffs are Ronnie J. Brown, individually, as curator for his wife, Sharon GayDavis Brown, and as natural tutor for their son, Cory H. Brown. Plaintiffs sued for damages to Mrs. Brown caused by her use of the drug Imitrex.

Raxar
In 1999 Raxar was removed from the market after questions regarding its safety were raised. Raxar was shown to prolong the heart's QT interval.

Relenza
The FDA found 115 cases of psychiatric side effects linked to Relenza, including 74 in children. Most of the reports were from Japan.

Lotronex
After meetings with Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Glaxo Wellcome has made the decision to pull Lotronex (alosetron hydrochloride) from the market.

Myodil
Between 1946 and 1988 Glaxo made and sold a spinal x-ray contrast medium called Myodil. Injected into the spinal canal in order to show up problems on x-rays, the drug was sold in approximately fifty countries including the UK. But Myodil, an oil-based yellow dye, was far from harmless itself – once injected into the spine it has been shown to cause a disease called Adhesive Arachnoiditis.

Trivax vaccine
British drug giant GlaxoSmithKline has finally admitted that thousands of babies in this country were inoculated with a batch of toxic whooping cough vaccines in the 1970s. Some experts believe that these Trivax vaccines - which had not passed critical company safety tests - may have caused permanent brain damage and even fatalities in young children.

LYMErix vaccine
Jenny Marra, a New Jersey hospice nurse positive for HLA-DR4, said she had been living with "severe joint and muscle pain since vaccination in 1999. SmithKline did not include a warning about the potential risk for this information in the product labeling or inform the health care providers of this concern. Had I known this I personally would not have taken the vaccine." Physicians aware of the political controversy, she added, are turning the LYMErix vaccine victims away "with statements like, 'I don't want to get involved.'"

Serevent
FDA documents released yesterday indicate that about a year ago, the agency asked Glaxo to strengthen Serevent's existing so-called black box warning, the most serious a drug label can carry. The FDA wanted the label to say that a study found a "a small but significant" risk for asthma-related deaths in all Serevent users and not just African-Americans, as previously indicated.

Advair
Recent medical studies indicate that Advair and it's sister drug Serevent asthma inhaler may be responsible for increased number of asthma deaths in adults & children. The active ingredient salmeterol is also found in Advair, Serevent or Foradil maybe responsible for many of these asthma related deaths. Advair is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline,(GSK). Advair (fluticasone/salmeterol) is an inhaled medication used to treat asthma and COPD. It is a combination medication consisting of an inhaled steroid and a long-acting form of albuterol, called salmeterol.

Avandia
A prominent US clinician has concluded that a diabetes drug produced by UK pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) increases the risks of heart attack and death. Steven Nissen from the Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, undertook a meta-analysis of clinical studies comparing patients treated with GSK's Avandia (rosiglitazone maleate) with controls. He concluded that Avandia was associated with a 43 per cent increase in the risk of heart attack. His article, published in the 14 June edition of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), was released early by the journal's editors due to its public health concern.

Cervarix vaccine
A GROUP of British teenagers has launched the first legal action against the makers of a controversial ­cervical cancer jab.They have suffered symptoms ranging from paralysis and ­seizures to fatigue and muscle aches since being given the Cervarix vaccine.

Never Forget

NEVER FORGET (See Song of the Day - Top of right hand column)

Been on this path of life for so long, Feel I've walked a thousand miles
Sometimes strolled hand in hand with love, Everybody's been there
With danger on my mind I would stand on the line of hope, I knew I could make it
Once I knew the boundaries I looked into the clouds and saw,
My face in the moonlight
Just then I realised what a fool I could be
Just cause I look so high I don't have to see me
Finding a paradise wasn't easy but still
There's a road going down the other side of this hill

Never forget where you've come here from
Never pretend that it's all real
Someday soon this will be someone else's dream

Been safe from the arms of disappointment for so long,
Feel each day we've come too far
Yet each day seems to make much more, Sure is good to be here
I understand the meaning of "I can't explain this feeling", Now it feels so unreal
At night I see the hand that reminds me of the stand I make
The fact of reality

REPEAT CHORUS

We've come so far and we've reached so high
And we've looked each day and night in the eye
And we're still so young and we hope for more, But remember this
We're not invincible, we're not invincible, no
We're only people, we're only people
Hey we're not invincible, we're not invincible


TAKE THAT

Dedicated to all those who feel they have come to the end of the road.

Sicko from Australia!

This one is for the Australian using Telstra Internet who thinks it highly amusing to send me death threats - asuming he/she is an Australian?

Quite why anyone would want to send me lyrics to a band called Patrick Park and at the same time threaten me by saying they wish to stab me is the work of someone who is deranged!

Anyway, enjoy your 10 minutes of fame. You don't scare me... whoever you are and whatever your intentions are!
