BACK IN THE HABIT..........

Fo Sho.....

Look how cool I am and the cool people I hang around with.
Real life is shit. Car problems, financial problems, health problems, I got problems coming out my ears. My nose as well if I didn't have this damn lurgy.
So some emotional, violent escapism with a message I reckon.

We3 is a awesome 3-part graphic novel I have just finished. The reliable team of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely released this back in 2004 I believe. It tells the tale of 3 household pets. A dog, a cat and arabbit. Appropriated by the goverment for a research project. They are encased in high tech suits, armed to the teeth and deployed as a covert strike unit in dangerous situations. The story follows they're escape and journey home. Avoiding the military and other nasty stuff. Its been described as "Universal Soldier meets Homeward Bound" which is a pretty silly description but does fit it immensly. Its one of the nicest, most heart warming stories I have read in a long time. The range of emotions expressed by the animals in the few words they utter and the detail of the art stands out more than the sudden bursts of violent brutality. I hope you enjoy this....

WOOF WOOF BANG

Allegedly there is a script penned by Morrison being developed with a green light to begin shooting next year. Imagine that.
Cheers to Lucid Media for this one.

FROM THE VAULTS!

I have finally uploaded something that I highly doubt anyone has heard. other than those of us cool enough to get into it on its original release.
There used to be a guy called Kevin Stewart panko who wrote for Terrorizer and some other things. He is still alive, so don't worry. he had a band in his home country of Canada called Association Area. They had 2 bassists, released a 7" and EP, lost a bassist and then created this piece of "art".
Lothsome Deco is a strange beast indeed. Not aligning itself with any particular style. They have a free form approach to song structure. Mixing a huge noise rock element with snippets of grind, surf rock, white noise and whatever they fancied, leaving you with one of my most prized finds. As far as I know its still knocking around on some ditro's here and there and Lunasound Records may still possess copies. other than that, finding any information about them is pretty hard.



ASSOCIATION AREA - Lothsome Deco

Give it a listen, absord it and throw it up again.
