in my last comic (which I haven’t posted, because I want to send it out), i drew pigeons as triangles, now i’m experimenting with boiling other animals down to shapes. bears on the brain, right now.
- Lester Bangs once said, “In the history of rock n’ roll, no artist has squandered his talent so completely as Rod Stewart.” (Bangs also wrote a mini-biography of Stewart that I’m trying to get my hands on.) I can honestly say that EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY is one of my favorite albums ever. Seriously. Get it.
- The Walkmen are doing a live concert on NPR. Although I’m disappointed by the new album (the boring songs, the way-out-of-register singing…Pitchfork had a good review), I’m still looking forward to seeing them later this month.
- Article in VQR on Little Nemo In Slumberland, a favorite read before bed.
- Dancing On Fly Ash is two fellas who post daily 100-word stories. I like some of the stories a lot, and they post to some good-looking magazines I’d never heard of.
That NPR page you linked to claims that the Walkmen are putting out their fourth album “later this year.” Maybe they saved their rockin’ material for that one.
I agree with you that “Hundred Miles Off” is kinda dull, although there’s some cool stuff on the second half. I especially like “Always After You (‘Til You Started After Me).”
nope. it’s a cover of Harry Nilsson’s PUSSY CATS:
