6 Ways to Avoid the Evil Eye

I was listening to Ed Yazijian’s ‘6 Ways to Avoid the Evil Eye’ (sound advice these days!), but by the time I got to track 5, it was too late!

I went to pick up a Chicken Biriani from Fred’s last night & started chatting in Arabic to the Kurds & the Palestinian lad, who has just started there. The Palestinian wants to attend university in Glasgow to study art. He has been given an instruction from the English home office to go home as his visa is just about to expire.

Of course he has no homeland & his family are exiled in Jordan, so he has to go back there & re-apply for another visa. He went to his MP & his local councillor, foolishly thinking that, if Scotland had its own government, then surely they would have the power to sort things for him. He was naïve in thinking this as they told him, in effect; they have no power as this really rests with Tony Blair & the English Ministers. So he has no alternative.

This Palestinian is constantly exposed to this ‘Scottish Labour’ campaign, which is a total misnomer & it is there to dupe the voting public. This is very much an English Labour party especially when it comes to immigration & double plus plus when it comes to 1) Palestinians & 2) Moslems

"Six Ways To Avoid The Evil Eye"
by Ed Yazijian

Limited Edition Lp by One Tree (2007)
Released on Limited Edition CDR originally on Feed and Seed Records (2006)



"Wanted to make the world aware of a new release of vinyl called Six Ways To Avoid The Evil Eye. This album is a reissue of a super limited CDR from last year.


These are mysterious recordings that seem to be immersed in an innerspace composed entirely of serious reverb jello, all instrumental-style with loads of tabla and slide guitar and international/continental/other worldly instruments & sounds.


The artist is Dr. E'weerd Yijji (aka Ed Yazijian) who should be known for his work with serious folks like Dredd Foole and Pete Prescott (Mission of Burma, Volcano Suns) and many others(not to mention occasional live performances with the mighty Sun City Girls).


This is his first solo release."

Ed is a teacher of Asian Studies in South Carolina
