GI JOE: RESOLUTE - DVD
The GI JOE miniseries thing what I wrote is out on DVD in the USA today, apparently. This was serialised on the web (you can probably still find all the episodes on YouTube) and broadcast as a whole piece on Adult Swim over there. It's a weird sort of telepod fusion of the cartoons and the comics, filtered through whatever I found interesting about the franchise. I altered a fair amount of stuff, including characters, to amuse myself and to meet the brief of producing a slightly more...
Station Ident: Yes, Still Here
Yesterday got pretty much swallowed up. Today, I huddle here under the plastic roof in the pub smoking compound, as the weather shifts from torrential rain to sunlight and back again every five minutes. The workload's pretty hairy today, but let's see if we can't do some embloggening in between the usual shouting and crying. Probably mostly linkblogging, as I fight to get my RSS reader under 1000 articles… but, as usual, probably also mostly about my friends and fellow-travellers. Jamais ...

Grouper: Hold The Way
Grouper's DRAGGING A DEAD DEER UP THE HILL was a high point for 2008 for me, an album deeply stoned on its own doomed beauty. I'd like to be seeing Grouper (which is actually just Liz Harris) live this week, but I don't have the time, and it's pissing me off immensely. The only improvement on my mood has been discovering, just now, that a new EP is due this winter. And here's a piece from it:

T-Shirt Of The Week #002: HUMAN BACON
TOTW is basically a joke that Ariana and I pull each week in our joint guise as the International Electrophonic Unit. Basically, we take some of the stupider things I've said on Twitter and elsewhere, often in a state of extreme alcoholic refreshment or severe sleep deprivation, and put them on a t-shirt. Ariana set up a Cafe Press store (because this is a joke and engaging with a serious maker of t-shirts would be less funny to us), and… well, once a week, here we are.

BLACK SUMMER Optioned For Film
I swear, these stories always break when I'm least ready for them. From Variety this morning:
Newly minted banner Vigilante Entertainment is launching operations by developing Warren Ellis' comicbook series "Black Summer" with Ryne Pearson ("Knowing") tapped to adapt.
"Summer," published by Avatar Press in 2007, centers on superhero team the Seven Guns, a group of scientist-adventurers who modified their own bodies for street-fighting in order to take back their West Coast city from a corrupt...

"The fly had been buzzing around the room during a strategy conference in July 1944, irritating the Nazi leader. Hitler ordered Mr Darges to get rid of it, but the SS adjutant suggested that as it was an "airborne pest" the job should go to Luftwaffe adjutant, Nicolaus von Below. He said Hitler then flew into a rage and dismissed him, saying: "You're for the eastern front." "
