INTRODUCTION

This is the first Nigel Parry News mailing for over a
year. If you are on this list, you subscribed to it at
some point in the distant past.

It's been quite a while, so if you no longer wish to be on
this list, there is a one-click unsubscribe link at the
bottom of this e-mail, which will remove you instantly
without the need for a confirmation e-mail.

Please note that I don't monitor who is on this list, who
may have changed their addresses, add anyone without
asking, etc., -- which means that it's always entirely up
to you to be on this list or not.

If you have problems unsubscribing, drop a quick e-mail to
news@nigelparry.com and I'll manually unsubscribe you, or
you can manage your subscription at:

Apologies for any inconvenience.

At some point this mailing list system will change to one hosted
on either nigelparry.net or nigelparry.com. Only those still
subscribed will be transferred, then this list and its archives will
be deleted.

Below you'll find news of a new lyrics archive, an semi-Easter
message :-) and random news shorts about what I've been up to.



RELAUNCH OF LARGEST LYRICS ARCHIVE FOR TEN YEARS

For the first time in a decade, the largest and most
comprehensive public archive of Nigel Parry's songs &
lyrics has been published on the web. Including many
unreleased songs and lyric explanations, this brand new
archive is the beginning of a refocussing of the
nigelparry.com website.

of live bootlegs here --for free and without
registration-- and browse songs & lyrics from as long ago
as two decades....

SONGS & LYRICS: GRAVEYARD OF FORGOTTEN SOULS

This is the closest thing you'll get to an Easter message
anytime soon. :-)

This song is an indictment of the U.S. criminal justice
system and this society's utterly misguided notion that
jails and prisons are performing any service other than
carrying on the war of the rich against poor. The song was
inspired by time I spent in the largest penal colony in
the world—Rikers Island Correctional Facility.

The title of the song comes from the name that a prisoner
called "UN" gave to Rikers during a conversation I had
with him. More information follows the lyrics.

RANDOM NEWS SHORTS

Following an uninsured hospitaI trip in late 2006/early
2007, I left New York City, and have been living in Minnesota
since February 2007. Yes, I am fine, thank you. :-)

I am still on sabbatical from working on the alternative
media projects that I had been working on since 2001. It's
been a good rest. For over a year, I have not done any
writing, interviews, or public appearances on the
Palestine issue, and have no plans to. Last time I did this
was in 1998, ten years ago.

I am only working on the Palestine issue these days
insofar as I am continuing to help select
Palestine-related NGOs build their online presence. Other
current nigelparry.net clients include teachers' support
networks, art organizations, and local organizations, as
well as progressive local businesses, and individual
artists and writers.

I will no longer be taking any photographs, commercially
or as a hobby, both due to equipment loss and a permanent
decision to focus my time and energy more on other areas
of life.

I am really looking forward to winter being over. Many
thanks to all the friends who helped me out this last
year! It made all the difference. To those who didn't,
fuck you very much.

Best wishes for 2008!
