Radio Freefall is the rocksteady first novel by Mathew Jarpe. Once again it alls upon rock and roll to save the world, this time from an evil net security tyrant. This is a rollicking good read and even though The OverDrone knew how it would end he postponed posting to get to the satisfying end. Buy it and read it.

The OverDrone apologizes for the lateness of this post. It was meant to go out yesterday but The OverDrone was finishing a book for review. Blogger is not cooperating with my HTML and THe OverDrone cannot post it currently.
Instead look at this chilling tale about the power of belief. If you have not been following this unicorn saga you wil not know that the production values have gone up two hundred percent compared to the last one. Enjoy.

Detrocboi’s Detrocgurls – a photoset on Flickr

Detrocboi’s Detrocgurls – a photoset on Flickr

The OverDrone first came across Detrocboi’s work in the softcore/art photo blog ponyXpress, but the delicious lines and naive subject matter drew The OverDrone back to the Flickr stream from whence it came.
According to his Flickr profile Detrocboi is male but he clearly cares about the rights of woman, depicting them as he does embedded in various machines and stuffed animals. Their disembodied heads oversee cities and weather. Are they more than they were before? Where are their bodies?
In the end, or the beginning of the set (I can’t tell) the heads float in spirals of entrails, their faces twisted in anger. This enslavement/empowerment motif runs through most of the photoset. This series is a wry take on the roles of women in society but the line work and coloring is that of the flash that hangs on most tattoo shop walls and on the backs and ankles of many young women.

One month ago The OverDrone reached across the Atlantic to a group of mop-topped kids in a band called overdrone. The OverDrone’s attempt to join their fan club and get a keychain or a badge met with failure. According to their guest book they are at university now. Will The OverDrone ever hear from these punk grungers? overdrone, the band
