Music Roundup


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.

OverDrone Inhabits LiveJournal

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.
