Hey guys, I'm really sorry about last week. Its the first week in a long long time that I haven't posted ANYTHING and I feel extra crummy about it. I had somethings that needed to be sorted out last week and fitting a comic into that just didn't work out. Wont happen again. Promise.
I've made a personal promise recently to be better about updating on time. It's a pledge I'm pretty determined to keep... although I'm already off to a bad start... I'm pretty sure I win at life. =P
TSOL was one of the late greats of the 80's Hardcore scene. They still, to this day, hold a special place in my heart... even though I was, like 5 when Dance With Me and I only picked up the album about a year ago, and had only heard of them like a 2 years before that... *cough cough* POSER! *cough* Who said that!
Honestly, I'm a little ashamed to be the target audience for this soul-numming promotion and corporate pandering.
Apparently you can also RSVP at Denny's across the country for Warped Tour afterparties at select locations... so ya know, be sure to get on that bandwagon... yeah. =P
Alright so enough sarcasm and ranting for one day, now I'd like to talk about something I actually enjoy. It's a webcomic called Savage Chickens. It's funny. You should read it. Think Toothpaste for Dinner, but with chickens... and slightly better art. http://www.savagechickens.com/ =D
Just when you thought it was ok to like France again. SURPRISE! Nicolas Sarkozy decides to hate Muslims. Why don't you just go ahead and outlaw Islam while your at it? Huh, how about it?! Or better yet, why not just demand that everyone start worshiping the Great Old Ones? Why not make Cthulhu worship the state religion as long as you're going to be doing things that arbitrarily restrict and dictate peoples religious practices.
...Actually, that last bit might be pretty sweet. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh C'thulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
In other news, Direct Hit! is offering their latest ep free for download on their myspace ( http://www.myspace.com/getpumpeditsdirecthit ). I'd take advantage of this if I was yous. Those guys rock!
(This is technically Monday's update, not an early Friday update. I will be updating this Friday as well, so stay tuned!)
