Come On Feel The Burn

Remember that Lemonheads strip I promised forever ago? Well here it is!

Evan Dando is actually a really great musician with some super ideas, but I've always had a weakness for representing, respected members of a community, as dunces in my attempts at humor.

Hell it works for Kate Beaton: http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php

(Psst, that a plug. That means read her shit!)

RIP LP

Do you ever get the impression that Glen does stuff just to fuck with Sam sometimes? I know I do.

Seeing as Les Paul was from Waukesha WI, I couldn't let his passing go unnoted. He was a great musician with a phenomenally innovative mind (invested the eclectic guitar for god sakes). He had a pretty good run at this whole life business, and he accomplished a hellova lot in the time he spent down here with us mortals. Thanks for everything man, you will be missed. RIP LP

Delayed Reaction

I'm a little ashamed. Green Day is such an easy target but the ol' imagination is a little dry at the moment.

I might have something about the Lemonheads ready come Monday though. So if you like them, ya know... stay tuned and stuff...

Saw The Roman Line on Thursday. They were pretty tight. I got a copy of their album sampler and their up coming release is defiantly going to be something to look forward to come fall. If you like D4 I'd recommend you check them out - http://www.myspace.com/theromanline

100 Noise Pollutions! Woooooooot! Yeah! Alright! Yeah, that's um... wow, yeah... um K I guess it's not that exciting. Although It's been a fun ride thus far. I appreciate all the comments and support you, my fellow internet users (and abusers), have lumped on me and me and this lovely little waste of time I like to call a comic. It's been a good couple of months, and I'm looking forward to many more to come. Thanks for Reading. =)

Lessons in Sticken It To The Man

(Click Image To View In Full)

I'm not a big time advocate for the violation of copy right laws, but I do admit to taking every opportunity to stick it to Billy Corgan. Seriously, the guy sucks.

Last week was probably the best week for punk rock Green Bay (my home town encase you didn't already know) has seen since the 80's. Beginning with Sun July 26th and ending Aug 2nd I had the opportunity to see:

-Sloppy Seconds- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf96br9LSWU
-Destroy Everything- http://www.myspace.com/destroyeverything
-Jetty Boys- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz8HuFP6Pmk
-The Manix- http://www.myspace.com/themanixmn
-Liarbirds- http://www.myspace.com/liarbirdspace
-Final Summation- http://www.myspace.com/finalsummation
-Social Distortion- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf_R4_yvQOQ
-The Strangers- http://www.myspace.com/strangersstrangers
-Civet- http://www.myspace.com/civet
-Truth Dealer- http://www.myspace.com/truthdealer
-X27- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCIPSzL3r30
-The Re-volts- http://www.myspace.com/sfrevolts

and last but not least

-The Phenomenauts- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8houK22fQ0Y

Now Green Bay is a town where you get one or two good shows a month. Having any of these bands play in a week would have been exciting, but to have them all play in the same week? I very nearly went broke/insane trying to see them. Luckily I succeeded in doing so while only sustaining minor damage to my finances and/or mental health. I'm still super buzzed from all the excitement. It was a good week. =)

New York Girls

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

The Truth About TSOL

(Click Image To View in Full)

Surprise Wednesday Update!

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!

All Night Bummer

Well I went to Dennys for the first time, in like, four years and found this in their menu:
http://www.dennysallnighter.com/index.php/site/rockstarmenu-current/

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!)

Screw The Tour

(Click Image to View in Full)

For a tour that used to be considered a traveling punk rock carnival, the now corporate pony ride, sponsor whore, Van’s Warped Tour has seen better days. Bellow is my full review of the coming festivities:

3oh3 (Emo Rap? Eh…), 40 Sons And Daughters(sucks), A CURSIVE MEMORY (sucks), A Day To Remember (sucks…BIG TIME), A Love Like Pi' (thinks they’re Kenya West, weird… also it sucks), A Rocket To The Moon (sucks), A Skylite Dive (too horrible to describe), Adolescents (awesome, but not playing Wisconsin date. Boo!), After Midnight Project (sucks), Aiden (sucks), Alamance, (sucks), Alexisonfire, (sucks), All Time Low (seen them already, really sucked), And I've Landed (eh), Another Option (sucks), Anti-Flag (sellouts, also they’ve sucked since their third album), Attack Attack (emos posing as punks, blah!), Authority Zero (pretty good), Bad religion (FUCK YEAH, but if you think I’m going to fight through a few thousand emos in the blazing sun in some god forsaken parking lot in Milwaukee to see them you’re dead wrong), Banderas (pretty good), Bayside (not bad, new stuff’s pretty good), Big D And The Kids Table (HELLS YEAH!), Black Box (good), Black Saints Cartel (good), Born to Lose (good), Bouncing Souls (awesome , not playing WI though), Breathe Electric (eh), Broadway Calls (alright), brokeNCYDE (sucks), Buckeye (sucks), blah blah blah, DOA (not playing Wisconsin), FEAR (skipping WI), Fake Problems (only playing Ohio), Hits the Lights (sucks), Meg and Dia (wait for it… SUCKS!), Senses Fail (sucks), Scary Kids Scaring Kids (sucks), Silverstien (sucks), The Ataris (sucks), The Devil Wears Prada (sucks), The White Tie Affair (seen ‘um, suck ass), Thrice (sucks), Underoath (sucks), blah blah blah, you get the idea, don’t go you’ll probably regret it.

Desolation Show

So My Chemical Romance did a cover recently of Bob Dylan's classic "Desolation Row" for the Watchmen movie. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9VaVukLtfg

It combines two of my favorite things, Watchmen and Bob Dylan covers, with two of my least favorite things, bad Bob Dylan covers and emo's pretending to be punk. You can guess how I feel about the the band as a whole.

In other news, I hear Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies ( http://www.amazon.com/Pride-Prejudice-Zombies-Classic-Ultraviolent/dp/1594743347 ) is supposed to be pretty good. I'd like to read the original before I jump into this parody though. Any Jane Austin fans out there? Is this advisable, or should I just jump right into the parody and satisfy my lust for acts of atrocious gore committed by the undead? Feed back, please!

Butch "The Fonz" Vig

(Click Image to View in Full)

Well it's official. The new Green Day album sucks royally, and I'm very very disappointed in Butch Vig for having been a part of it. I think this is the first album he's produced that I haven't liked. It just sounds like a rehash of American Idiot, which itself, felt like a Tommy rip off with I hate George Bush/ America undertones. Granted, their is nothing wrong with hating on ol' G Dabya, but you can only beat a dead horse so much before even the most liberal of us lose interest.

Boy do I miss the days when Green Day was still a relatively punk band. Dookie is still on of my favorite albums of all time.

Conservatives, the Other Other White Meat

Today I want to plug one of my favorite comics on Drunk Duck.com, Faults. The art is fun to look at and it almost always makes me laugh. If those aren't good enough reason to like a web-comic and want to share it with the world then there is something seriously wrong with America... you know, besides the fact that at least a quarter of the population takes Rush Limbaugh seriously...

Check out the comic here: http://www.drunkduck.com/Faults/

Have a great weekend all!

Anarchy Burger

Here's the Weds comic I promised. Late as usual. =P

If you haven't heard Anarchy Burger by the Vandles yet, I feel profoundly sorry for you and the life you have hither to been leading. I save you from your life of pain with this video featuring the song (and some pretty decent skateboarding too)

Josh Homme Has Great Hair

I meant to get this one up on Friday, but it didn't happen. Ah well. I'll have something up on Weds to make up for it.

How did all your weekends go out there? It rained all Fri and Sat and then was nice and sunny on Sunday (how fitting), so over all it was pretty nice. I've always been a fan of rainy whether though, so it worked for me.

See you Weds!

Dream Bubble

(Click Image to View)

I'm actually a fan of both songs, but shhhh, don't tell Glen that. He might quit the strip.

Now granted, Dream Police isn't bubble gum pop, but Cheap Trick, in general, even if most of Cheap Trick's songs are. On that premise, you could make the generalization that ALL of Cheap Trick's songs are bubble gum pop. That of course would be pretty arbitrary, but Nic does it anyway, and I feel like it works.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice accuracy for humor. Sometimes... sometimes... some dimes...

This week instead of drawing two comics I drew one comic and one show flyer. It's for a show on the 15th featuring Noise Noise Noise (http://www.myspace.com/noisenoisenoise ) from Montana and Bust!(http://www.myspace.com/bustoneout ) from Chicago.

The flyer url is here encase your interested:

Oh those two. They're at it again. I swear, the best friendships are the ones that are always on the verge of ending in murder-suicides.
