THE POWER OF MUSIC ON LOCKDOWN: MARK DEVLIN GUESTS ON ESH TV

I recently guested on ESH TV with host Nir Shoshany, where I got to speak about the power of inspirational message music to help sustain us through challenging and uncertain times. The chat was centred around Show 96 in my Sound of Freedom series. I also offered a few thoughts on how we can all cope best with the enforced isolation we all find ourselves in, focusing on staying physically, emotionally and mentally well.

Episode 96 of The Sound of Freedom can be downloaded from this link:

THE CAUSE & THE CURE AUDIO BOOK VERSION

Well, having had a bit of unexpected extra time on my hands, (!) I’ve put it to good use and have narrated an audiobook version of The Cause & The Cure. I hope to have this available on Audible (and iTunes) soon. In the meantime, however, if anyone would like to get a copy from me direct, I’d be happy to mail out an mp3. It clocks in at just over six and a half hours in length.

The audiobook is priced at £8.00. The easiest thing would be to pay by Paypal, and the e-mail address you need to find me on there is mark@markdevlin.co.uk (If you don’t use Paypal, however, we could do things by BACS transfer. Just drop me an e-mail to arrange.)

URBAN ANTHEMS SAMPLE-FEST, FIRST FM, EASTER MONDAY

Just about the only thing that's not cancelled in the coming weeks!

I'm pleased to say I'll be doing another Urban Anthems Sample-Fest on First FM on Easter Monday from 7 to 10pm. I'll be paying tribute to the lost art-form of sampling, by playing a load of familiar rap and hip-hop tunes, plus the original records that were sampled to create their memorable beats. 

When words fail, music speaks.

REFLECTIONS ON OUR CURRENT SHARED PREDICAMENT

In response to a few requests for my take on the situation in which we all find ourselves, a few thoughts, reflections and perspectives ... and some good advice.

Here’s the new edition of The Sound of Freedom that I put out yesterday, consisting of empowering and inspirational music for these times:

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 154: SANTOS BONACCI/ CHARLIE FREAK - WHY LAPSED VEGANS FAIL

Listen to "GVP #154 - Santos Bonacci - Charlie Freak: Why Lapsed Vegans Fail" on Spreaker.

Why is there such a trend towards former vegans, who say they embarked on that lifestyle out of love and compassion, turning back to eating animal products and bashing the values which they once espoused? Is there validity to their claims that a plant-based diet ruined their health, and eating the animals they once said they cared about is the only way to restore it?

Here to address these issues - and no strangers to the controversy and polarised opinions that this topic ALWAYS creates - are former guests Santos Bonacci and Charlie Freak, who come at the subject from a spiritual and metaphysical standpoint, as well as from a practical nutrition stance.

Charlie ends by observing that 'coronavirus' is a direct anagram of 'carnivorous.' This won't be a coincidence.
