Alien Versus Pooh

ALIEN VERSUS POOH is a webcomic by one "Giant Hamburger." It starts off gentle. Becomes funny. Gets really fucking warped. It is Recommended.

Good Old Mark

Mark Millar does love playing the publicity game. There's a level of promotion that I just can't face, but that Mark embraces like a Scotsman on a freshly-deepfried Mars bar. That said, I have to admit, I wish I'd thought of and could afford his latest stunt:

That is indeed Mark and Steve McNiven's new comics serial NEMESIS on a billboard in Times Square.

I dunno that I would have chosen Times Square, and you could nitpick about the tagline if you felt like it… but that is a fine stunt...

Brandon Graham Day

Good morning, scumbubbles. This is warren ellis dot com. And Brandon Graham has posted one of his huge lovely blog entries overnight. So go and read that instead.

Night Music: She Just Likes To Fight

"She Just Likes To Fight" is currently my favourite piece off the new Four Tet album, THERE IS LOVE IN YOU, which Domino Records were kind enough to provide me.

MAP 002 Released

David Garcia Studio releases the second of their MAP publications, pamphlets that unfold into an A1 infoviz poster. Details on how to find a copy at the link. Me, I'll have to try and get to the Architecture Association bookshop sometime soon.

This programme of sounds and voices is an attempt to re-create in five movements some sensations of dreaming – running away, falling, landscape, underwater and colour. All the voices were recorded from life (by Barry Bermange) and arranged in a setting of...

I am failing at recording all the stuff that's coming into the office. Which is bad, because my office is a dump and stuff gets lost or forgotten or possibly reproduces in the corners.

As noted a couple of days ago, I'm on a Delia Derbyshire kick again. The TOMORROW PEOPLE CD there contains a bunch of Derbyshire stuff under the name Li De La Russe (she was still under contract to the BBC at the time, and TOMORROW PEOPLE was an ITV show). The red CD is "classic" Radiophonic Workshop, and the ...
