I know it has been a long time since I published a music post but now is as good a time as any.
Mechanical Asparagus Project- As near as I can tell this is just one guy making lots of songs. I would say they are often ironic if his vocals didn’t ooze sincerity. If I had to compare it to other music I would say that M.A.P. rocks the deadpan manner and sweet guitarings of the Violent Femmes combined with the dreamlike lyrics of Ween.
Ellmatic- Antique Fork Mix sixty eight minutes of songs with bizarre titles. A mix created for T’ Nieuwe Werck.
The Death Set- I don’t know what it is about these eighties sounding bands that gets my blood flowing but it sure sounds good.
Crystal Castles- More eighties tinged stuff. Tricked out Synth grooves.
Apes & Androids- If you ever wondered what would happen if Adamski produced a SuperTramp album you will frickin’ love this band.
Well, that is it for now as I can’t be bothered to track down any more links.
Sorry folks, technical difficulties with blogger’s image upload. Just click here.
… because i don’t have enough cats on this blog …
Well, it finally happened, The OverDrone has infected yet another blogging tool. Now you can find examples of the OverDrone’s work on
LiveJournal. The reason I use LJ for the webcomic is the poor resolution Blogger has for pictures and images. Admittedly, LJ is kind of frustrating. The layouts are crap and I don’t have enough css skills to truly own my page. If anyone wants to help me out in that respect, drop me a line. other critiques I have of my own work include:
Paper: The paper I used for this first comic bled too much. That should be fixed by the next one.
Word Bubbles: Too large and the writing is too spindly. again I should have that fixed by the next time.
Black/white balance: just way too much white space. finding the right balance will take some time.
Ratio: again this should be fixed soon.
In the meantime enjoy the first effort and anxiously await the next posting, ok? As soon as the lil’ G story arc finishes I will be introducing recurring characters. If you are interested in my influences and where I want to take this strip go
here to see the absolute master of political satire and parody. I think it is about time someone published a vicious political strip in America. and I have high hopes of offending everyone in this upcoming election season.
