New graphic!
I’ve always been told I should have a general “writer’s graphic”, but I never knew what it would be or how it would be done. To my rescue came Dany Yáñez, @ashesafirewoken on Twitter, who made this great graphic for me. (He also did that great fan art of Roan I posted a while back. Talk to him, he loves making art.)
Read More5 Song Shuffle Thursday – Please, Can’t You Stop Being Weird?
Of course, that’s a trick question, as the answer is always no. Apparently I can’t stop it. Kinski – Last Day On Earth A bit of shaggy rock, with no overarching message. And at under two minutes, it makes its point and gets the hell out. Dead Milkmen - Stuart A classic bit of punk comedy, where the redneck of the song begs Stuart to listen to him about what the “queers are doing to the soil”. In concert with gay aliens, of course. Everybody who talks about gay marriage being the ruin of society always reminds me of this guy. Thanks, Dead Milkmen. Porcupine Tree - Synesthesia Mopey prog rock! I don’t like a lot of it, but I do like Porcupine Tree, who always try and do something interesting with it. Bear In Heaven -...

Read More5 Song Shuffle – Musical Mayhem Edition
The only connecting thread here is gloom, doom, noise, and weirdness. Which figures. ** Nine Black Alps - Cosmopolitan Quite possibly the most “normal” song on this list, a straight ahead rock song … until you realize it’s totally taking the piss out of women’s magazines. Which is pretty cool, just weird from an all male rock band. The Sisters of Mercy – This Corrosion A piece of weirdly pop-y goth rock from the masters of weirdly pop-y goth rock. My ipod has the standard length song, which means almost ten minutes of this nonsense, which is honestly great fun. But check out this so ’80′s post-apocalyptic video! Goddamn it. It didn’t matter that it was the ’80′s, they fucking refused to be...
Read MoreA Roan & Dylan short – Art, Interrupted
Just a brief, fluffy story, but I felt it’s the least I owe everyone. ** Roan put his finger against the plastic fishbowl, wondering if the big goldfish inside would see it. He wasn’t going to tap it, because that seemed cruel, and non-humans had to stick together, right? Unless one was dinner, but that was another story. Besides, if Dyl had his way, he’d be the first vegetarian lion in existence. (Possibly also the last.) Dylan pulled out one of the red leather stools and sat beside him. “We’re not so bored we’re taunting the fish, are we?” For whatever reason, the goldfish and its habitat were planted on the bar of this art gallery/bar. It wasn’t a part of the exhibition; it was just the pet of the gallery. Or more...
