DRAWING CRUMBY COMICS AND LISTENING TO KID A

Friday, March 10, 2006

$Year\'s Best Graphic Novels, Comics & Manga$

“Actually, a lot of these poses in these panels I took from freeze-framing the Fly Girls on In Living Color.” – R. Crumb
Meghan says KID A is the ultimate work-in-the-studio-with-headphones album. If, like me, you’ve been out of touch with your Radiohead fandom, check out their blog. Lots of cool pictures recording the new album. Also, check out Stanley Donwood’s slowly downward. His photoshop work and site design for Radiohead…big inspiration for me when I was 17.
Ray Kurzweil on Science Friday: the singularity is near.
Short story: Eric Puchner reading “Animals Here Below.”
Short story: Etgar Keret, “Actually, I’ve had some phenomenal hard-ons lately.”

Sean on “Tonight You Belong to Me,” from The Jerk.
Virtual drum machines. Awesome.
Great interview with Dan Savage from a while back.
Oh, Project Runway. It was probably the safe bet to give Chloe the money, but damn, I really liked Santino. (Andre and Tim at Red Lobster, Tim Gunn singing Closer, the musical numbers…)

IT HAD BEEN A PLACE

“Maybe it hadn’t been a community, but it had been a place. Now there weren’t any places left, just separate houses with separate televisions and separate telephones and less and less dropping by.”

– Toni Morrison, Sula

And: sad robots and blondes going extinct (good thing I have mine…)
