MAY 2006
The book is pending one or two new press articles ; the recent events in France might motivate
another book , or a rewriting ... The film script is also in the process of re writing by an agent
friend in the U.S.
An exponential " crossover " linking authors , film script around books ( " Filmties " ) , and
" Myspace " is coming of age , with thousands of friends . See the link under on this topic from
the " Authors Lounge " of Publish America :
DECEMBER 2005
Here is a list of all the websites of the author :
The main websites of Dave Adrian :
My birthday this month is a round figure , and gives me a retrospection insight
I would like to share , not fully outlined in my book ...
All my activities the last few years are compiled on 1
website ( " Myspace " ) , it will reach 5000 visitors friends
within a month ! ( opened January 2006 ) .
2 other main
interactive " Umbrella Websites " support that site ,, the later comprising appx. 10
" Yahoo " sites on the various aspects of my works :
Book(s) , CD'(s) , Film script , Artwork , plays , etc...
I have has 100.000's of people seing me " live " , on the YV , in the
National press , appx. 10.000 visitors on my main website , 4
corporate contracts in the U.S. , 4 major Independents ; 100.000
various exchanges of secondary importance on Internet , more than
100 major press articles , etc...
At infra local level , I have had very little help , and have many
crticism as a " parasite " of society .
At national level many positive support , but nothing to substantiate
any financial help .
At International level , much support in all directions , mainly from
teh U.S. and England .
Today , I have found a local venue , that also books my old saxophone
player and others I know . Another contact is also coming back with
the same topic .
I intend to reform a band with these people if possible .
Meanwhile my wife is compelled to clean some farm premisises in
exchange for the repair of her teeth . She is handicaped , I am just
beyond words with anger and frustration at this insanity , when I
see the huge amounts of money invested on rubbbish art and music and
books and films everywhere . As I am stuck in the steets to earn
every dime possible for our family and children .
But with the help of God , and my contacts and contracts , I keep
fighting against all odds .
Bottom end story , that all starts on :
Who wants to know more , just spring from one link to the other ,
" join " groups , on a boring festive day , I guarantee something
completely out of the ordinary . The other side of the coin ...
Dave Adrian
NOVEMBER 2005
Update general news in Europe , and comments around the book " The Man from
Nowhere "
Partly off topic , but relevant :
This Explains a lot about all
my difficulies , including the film script .
Busy prolific period , with many exchanges with French people coming
for week ends to get awy from the turmoil in France .
The unease and riots are spreading to Belgium ...
It brings a certain awareness that is good for my music ; a " full
circle " millenium dimension of the sixties and seventies .
But I am still in the streets , and no one offers any gigs ...
A frozen situation that is explained under .
A double sided media on all topics ; music reduced mainly to very
commercial products , with always the same artists at national level .
A twofold system where U.S. and British imports get airplay and
viewing , but local material is profiled in a narrow " who fits the
entertainment picture " . An interesting idea from a U.S. partner is
to try on his side to open the door with a major distribution network
over there , and then " fold back " through this approach on Europe
to give me the ticket . I like that idea very much , as I am getting
nowhere fast .
Now for the U.S. members and other , please read under a review of the
situation in France :
The recent riots in France make Worldwide news .
It shows the incapability of the political class on all sides for
the last 30 years to deal with racial equality and adjustments .
Quote from the International press .
A hidden segregation going back to the generation born after the
independence wars of Algeria , Tunisia , Morocco , etc ... ) , after
their parents moved th France .
This has a this stage little to do with the other terrorists ; it is
more of a local issue , but could become dangerous if linked with the
above mentioned , especially after the expulsion of the country of
120 offenders . The various medias of different countries give all
different figures and interpretations of these events , that have
caused very serious material damage on the European scale .
( 10 of thousands cars burned , curfew laws , many factories , schools
buildings , etc ... burned down . ) .
A very complex state of affairs , that will not improve in a hurry .
More than likely get worse before it gets better . This is not
pessimistic , just realistic . And half know , the other half ignore
it , hence the divide of society .
Added to students miscontent , Unions everywhere in protest , it is
a reflexion of what is going on over here . The cost of living is
much higher since the introduction of the Euro .
Also , the man responsible for all
this mess , according to the young generatio, is a Minister called
N.Sarkosy . Amongst other things , he was the Lord Mayor of the
residential area where my mother died , the unexplained " cover
up " of a death by shotgun , core of my book .
Coincidence ?
I do not have to post more at this stage , general strikes in Belgium
and France after last month again to come ...
After the " no " vote " from Holland and France to the European
Constitution , a rather strong signal of things to come . Upcoming
events will be followed by the International media .
The U.S. has at least one Constitution , one language as a whole ,
one dollar , one federal reserve , and a relative freedom of
enterprise . Publish America would be a difficult business venture
over here . In France , there were appx. 100 publishers 10 years ago :
only appx. 10 main ones subside , and to get a book to sell , it
needs a review called a " bonne feuille " in the serious press .
But the press is very often profiled in favour of ... etc ...
I am as an artist apolitical , I only reflect through my books and
the glass eye of love relationships the general surroundings
implementing the changes on the run .
Also positive new contracts in the U.S. . More on that later .

THE AUTHOR HAS MOVED , HERE IS THE NEW DATA :

adress :
Cornelis Everaertstraat 40
8000 / Brugge
BELGIUM
JUNE 2005
Dave Adrian is moving houses again , to a better location around Brugge in Belgium , this for the 42nd time due to this awesome story outlined in the book . Also a time for reflexion , as all the main 2 " umbrella " websites of Dave and his 10 individual artistic activities " Yahoo " subsites are now interactive with many icons and links .
Millions know the author , through TV documentaries , live music , websites , written press ... And 5 corporate U.S. contracts in the U.S. on all aspects of his artistic activities . So what has the future in store after the summer of 2005 ? . He only needs to be able to adjust his creations with the right people , and get that " break " rightly deserved ... Appx. 100 songs , artwork , 3 or 4 books more or less completed , film script , DVD , promotional revealing DVD , poems , and a family , there are the odds for reasonable recognition and the need for money to go further ; difficult to find another one like him ...
March 2005
Evolution on the film script on the book , for the members :
These are recent exchanges on the moves regarding the audio visual
aspect of the book ( Roy Hagen MDA , writer of " Autopsy " , the film
script , Eve Adams from ACMrecords , KidAntrimmusic , etc... )
Roy ,
This remains between us please . ( read under ) .
I have last month signed another contract , a promotional
corporate company .
One of my songs , " sweetheart unlimited " will be on a cd
in a few months . This is good , because it is targeted at
major US / FM radios and corporate record companies .
I have the full list .
Not the usual " independent " world of another
university radio type compilation I have also out now ;
great people , but not enough realistic corporate approach .
Good for the young ones out there , but not for us .
I have a family with kids , and I want results urgently , this
is survival at it's best , in the elusive old mother Europe
collapsing system .
If something comes out of it , I will try a get the interested party
to produce a new CD with new songs . My deal with acm records remains
solid ,
they have the rights for the first cd , good , they were the first
to react . I really hope Eve can pull something off , I like them .
But performing results is what counts , aand I have appx. 60 songs
still available .
( read under very recent e mail from them :
Hi Patrick:
Nothing to worry about..as soon as something happens you will be the
first to know..promise..
will have a read of the script as soon as time permits.
Best regards and hang in there I haven't abandoned you..just insanely
busy..the tunes, photo etc..will be on the site soon.
Eve )
Tootie , ( " sweetheart records " ) in Connecticut is coming over
here soon , I am busy with his book " White Glove " , also a great
film potential thing .
This in no way affects what I said , we move together on " Autopsy " .
For me , the film is essential , you know that .
Feedback ?

Sean seems to be getting good response on his film. He's a great guy so that's good to see.
Don't forget to send me your new recordings when they come out.
All the best,
