SDCC 2010: Imaginary twitterings

Twitter didn’t work for me so well on the show floor, and my phone wouldn’t take the strain anyways. So here’s the first half of my imagined tweets from the floor. The second half of this may or may not ever appear.

The triple chili-cheese at Tommy’s is unnecessary. Structural integrity starts low and slides from [...]

SDCC 2010: ALL FIRE IS THE SAME FIRE

All due apologies to Mr. Grant Morrison, from whom I nicked the above title. In turn, that phrase came out of his notes that constantly writes to himself, or at least pretends to when the documentary camera is turned upon him. Yes, I’m fanboy enough that I went to that panel. But I’m ahead of [...]

DAY OF RADIANCE

That’s just what happens to be playing right now. I can imagine that it’d be good for clearing rooms, though I find it kinda soothing once I get past the jangly bits.
Returned from sudden trip back to the ancestral Maxwell family homeland of Redlands, California. And yes, it was that kind of a sudden trip. [...]

Conversation Fear - I am Jack’s Creeping Dread

As originally posted on Dark, But Shining.
“People are always asking me if I know Tyler Durden.”
If this is a horror blog, then why the hell am I talking about Fight Club, you ask. It’s not a horror movie. It’s a mixed-up jumble of nihilism and pop culture and pop fascism, stylishly directed and pretentious, right?
Oh, the [...]

FULL BLEED 2000-2010 - 4

PART FOUR: WITH CRACKLING FIRES AND QUIET PLAINS
Ah, BLACKLISTED, you never disappoint. Along with Calexico’s FEAST OF WIRE, certainly the top alt/country/folk/whatever album of the decade.
Yes, comics. What’s the story of the decade in the industry? The rise of webcomics? Diamond’s consolidation and dreaded minimums? The fight for pre-eminence outside of the Big Two? Double-dipping [...]

Strangeways - Winter Solstice (4)

The Strangeways Christmas special comes to a close.

RIP Kali

1989-2009

I had to put down family cat Kali today, a cat that has been with me (and my wife when she was my girlfriend, then fianceé) for twenty years now. I knew it was coming, and really, she’d dodged a lot of bullets already, including unexplained seizures, an attack of diabetes and making the move [...]

I share with you. I share Link Wray.

An ultra-sludgy version of “Rumble” from 1978, some twenty years, that’s TWENTY YEARS after the original. Just wow.
Tip of the hat to Paul Tobin for bringing Wray’s name up in the conversation.
