Did you have a nice Christmas?

Oh. Really, dear reader(s)? Oh, okay. Never mind. 'Ha! You can't hear them, boss.' What, Voice? 'You can't hear what the readers are saying.' You'd be surprised. 'Would I?' No, no. It's only a joke, man. Why do you take everything so seriously? 'I don't know.' Did you have a nice Christmas, Voice? 'Yeah, it was all right.' Okay.

Okay, uh ... no finance today, kook(s), obviously. I have a couple of PR emails. I suppose I could save one until Wednesday. On Tuesday, I'll be writing a big double conceptual. Nothing tomorrow though.

Music? I'll put something on in the minute. Give me a chance! But my music? I didn't fancy doing any recording. I still have bad memories of Christmas 2012. So I just relaxed a bit, you dig? [Well, a lot.] However, I've put fresh strings on my guitar. Elixirs! This means I will have to try recording soon or those strings will be wasted. I've done ten and half hours on them so far. I reckon they'll be okay for recording up to the thirty-hour mark. So, uh ... maybe I'll have a go at doing my songs at the end of this week.

Er, of course ... ... ... I'll be starting my FRESH START(!!!) on New Year's Day. 'Ha!' Just like everyone else in the world, sure, but I mean it, man! 'Oh.' This is the year, uh, next year, that I'll set myself on the path to becoming a superstar. 'Nice one!' I was flicking through a book in a Chiswick bookstore yesterday. Something about the end of the rock stars. 'Oh dear.' Their time is over, apparently. 'Ha! No one knows about you, boss.' I know, I know. And this is all to my advantage. I'll be the last man standing. 'Brilliant!' Actually, I've got to stand up first, and then, uh ... 'You'll be the last man standing.' Exactly! This year coming. So, stay tuned, pop and rock fan(s).

Oh, by the way, I am going to make more of an effort next year to write solely about finance (except for the conceptuals), in the time that this blog has left, like, before it becomes, uh ... an occasional thing of album news and tour dates, etc. You dig? So no music stuff! I'm on Twitter. That's where all the action will be.

Anyway, let's put something on ...

When Doves Cry and Purple Rain. Two big iconic songs that established Prince as a major rock star. He never reached these heights again. / [At my age, and in the current music business, I will need three or four big songs on every album I release.]

Let's Dance. (Long album version, same as the two Prince ones.) This is the song that turned David Bowie into a global superstar. He went from playing arenas to playing stadiums.

Like a Rolling Stone. With this one song Bob Dylan invented serious rock music. After recording it he spent the whole night playing it to his friends over and over again. / Alas, you really can't do anything new in music any more. You can only be great. Greater than anything that's come before.

Billie Jean. The performance of this song at Motown 25 made Michael Jackson the biggest star since Elvis. / Great dancing, but ...

Do you see what I'm getting at here? Songs are the most important thing, man. Forget one white glove! Or orange hair! You dig?

Okay, laters.

Music, thoughts

What else? Nothing else. It's the last post before Christmas. Then I'll be taking a week off. I suggest that you ... yes, YOU(!) ... do the same, man. All right?

Of course, I'll still be playing my guitar, dear reader(s). But no blogging! And, uh ... no finance today.

Music! Let me put a few songs on ...

Boots of Spanish Leather. One of Bob Dylan's best early songs.

L-O-V-E (Love) by Al Green. / I'm glad "love" is in brackets. It could have been very confusing.

Get Down. Gilbert O'Sullivan.

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) by Darlene Love. From the Phil Spector Christmas album. / I'll put this on repeat for a bit ...

Thoughts? I'm not sure I've got too many, to tell you the truth, kook(s). I'm actually in a confused state today. That's why I was so pleased that our Al had put "love" in brackets. / The Voice? Where is he? Oh, he's gone now. Christmas with his folks on the astral plane. I hope he has a nice time. He needs a rest.

The army? Man, I'm so looking forward to seeing the army on the streets next year when Brexit happens. / What will you be doing for food, reader(s)? I'll probably see you down the empty supermarket. We can fight each other for the last loaf of bread. / By the way, don't get ill. There won't be any medicine. What a shitshow, eh?!

Okay, okay. Pack it in, Darlene, love!

Between the Bars. Elliott Smith. His best song, I think.

A Design for Life. Manic Street Preachers.

Tempted. Squeeze.

My music? I'll have a go at recording next Thursday, and a couple of days after - if needed. I'm hoping I won't have to do loads of takes. I'm pretty good now.

I've got to get the fuck to Malibu, man! I ain't worried about Trump. He won't be President forever. Ha! Unless he makes himself President for Life, of course. Anything is possible.

Hotel California. The Eagles, obviously. Oh, my song Malibu is better, yes! However, I'll put this on repeat because I love the iconic guitar solo at the end.

Yes, yes, I've got four songs that are - let me be honest for a moment - better than anybody's songs. It was a decision I made. You dig? It's not rocket science.

Okay, okay. I hope you have a nice Christmas, kook(s)!

Laters!

Expert knowledge

Who needs it?! In the world of business, like. Not you, dear reader(s)! I mean, you've got me. I'm the expert, your expert. You only need me, surely? / Anyway ...

Inex One, the global Expert Management System (EMS), today(?) announces the launch of its Approved Network Program (ANP) for selected expert networks.

Today? Er, yesterday, actually. Never mind.

The Approved Network Program (ANP) is a partnership program between Inex One and selected expert networks. The program allows clients to access specialized, high-quality experts from multiple networks in different niche industries and geographies, in one digital platform. 

Yeah, yeah, it's, uh ... 'A PR email, boss?' Yes, Voice. But, er ... 'What?' My readers don't need all this, you dig? 'They've got you.' Exactly! I'm the only expert that guys and girls in the business world will ever need.

"We've seen that many clients only use one expert network. They're locked into expensive contracts, paid annually up-front. Thanks to the Approved Network Program, these clients can access unique experts from specialist expert networks - without having to negotiate each contract individually or pay expensive yearly fees up-front" says Max Friberg, CEO and co-founder of Inex One.

Ah, well, I do charge quite a bit for personal one-to-one consultations, but all the content on this blog, dear reader(s), all the fucking wisdom, is ... free - !!!

The Approved Network Program will function as an extension of the Inex One EMS, launched earlier this year. The EMS is a SaaS platform for procurement and administration of expert network services, allowing clients to manage all of their expert network suppliers within one closed ecosystem. 

Oh, fair enough. Well, dear reader(s), at least you know about it now. No endorsement, obviously. I would just ask you to bear in mind that, uh, I am the world's foremost financial shaman. What I know can't even be taught, these days. 'You're a master, boss.' Yes. I am. / Which reminds me ... 'What?' I used to have a voice on here, Voice, who called me Master. 'Yeah. You got rid of him.' Yes. I did. And then a little while later, you showed up. Showed up uninvited, I might add. 'Ha! Them's the breaks, boss.' Yeah. 'That's shamanism. Love it or hate it, but can you live without it?' I suppose not.

...

Anything else? Music? My music?! Eh?! This is a finance blog, man. 'Tell them, boss!' Oh, all right. If I don't try to record my songs within the next couple of days, I may have to do a bit during my week off next week. 'That's out of order!' Not on Christmas Day, or Boxing Day, obviously, Voice. 'Thank God for that!' Why do you care? 'You need a rest, boss.' Yeah, yeah. I need to get shit done, son. That's what I need. And there's no rest for the wicked, remember.

Okay, laters!

Electric car vision!

It's pretty much the same as Elon's vision, but that's okay. 'What's this, boss?' A PR email, Voice. Blackstone Resources. Batteries. Open-source. 'Oh.' Yeah. Take a look -

Blackstone Resources has a vision that one day all cars will run on electricity and that renewable energy will become sustainable and available in abundance. It is this vision that drove the company to build its portfolio of mining interests in battery metals. However, the company also realizes that part of the solution is to encourage and nurture technological advances in rechargeable batteries.

Just like Elon! 'There's nothing new under the sun, boss.' Of course there isn't!

Through its battery technology research, Blackstone Resources has developed an international battery code system that identifies the battery metal mix, chemistry and technology used within various rechargeable batteries. This system is known as the Blackstone Resource Battery Codes (BBC) system.

Oh. BBC. People might get confused they're making TV programmes. But it's their life, you know?

The BBC coding system was initially intended to be used internally to improve business efficiency within Blackstone Resources. However, in 2018 the company made the decision to make the coding system open-source.

Great! They're sharing it with everyone! 'Isn't Elon sharing Tesla stuff, too?' Yes, he is, Voice. Ha! There's NOTHING(!!!) new under the sun, as King Solomon knew. / Okay, okay, Ulrich, have your say, man!

"The coding system could have important application within the battery industry. For instance, it could help facilitate the commoditization of ion class rechargeable batteries, which may one day be available in a single form-factor and purchasable over the counter. This similar to how standard battery nomenclature is used today in retail batteries, such as the AA and AAA lettering that comes from the American standard specification for dry cells."

All right. That's enough. Thanks, Ulrich!

...

Anything else? Music? My music?! I should have a go at recording my songs this week. Before Christmas, like. I don't know if I will though. I really enjoy rehearsing them, dear reader(s), but the thought of recording them fills me with anxiety. 'Why, Mikey?!' I don't know why, Voice. Anxiety is irrational.

Oh, Malibu is my favourite now. And I'm sad I won't get another one like it. 'Ha!' What? 'You were sad you wouldn't get another one like Nothing.' I know, I know. It's all sadness, man.

Never mind. I'm going to cheer myself up by listening to ... hang on, kook(s) ... One Fine Day by The Chiffons, on repeat. 'I love this song!' Yeah. Me, too!

Laters!
