"Killer Wolf" - The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

I am the guilty one, bone chained around my leg
I am the cursed one, black cloud hanging overhead
Feel that heart that pumps blood all inside of me

I am the lonely one, all my guts are turning gray
I am the silent one, I don't care just what they say
Put together from stone and bones in electricity

Well, I'd like to break my four black parts
Why don't you worship me

Because I tried to in a truck
I thought about, I cried
I missed the rail with a free ol' lies
Forgive me, Mary, my demands

I am the ugly one, monster that feels no pain
I am the special one, teenage head and rotten brain
I walk a 43 funky miles with these broken bones
I got locked without hope, I have no home

Because I tried and I lied
I thought about, I died
I missed the rail with a free 'ol' lies
Forgive me, Mary forgive me, my demands

I am the lonely one, stuck here in the ash and snow
I am the guilty one, destroyed everything I know
Well, the bottle says it's wrong
I'm just left stinking this side of song
Well, Lord, I just got to get along
As a man in muzz, as a man in muzz

Young Liars

2009-09-03T10:18:00.001-07:00

I started reading David Lapham's Young Liars about six months ago and was catching bits and pieces of the story because my trips to the comic book shop were infrequent and very impulsive. Now its routine, but that's not what this little thing is about. Anyways, Young Liars is my favorite thing to get involved in. I recommend this book to anyone who isn't boring or afraid of comic books. Its pretty vivid in both its language and content, and is a beacon of excellence in a crap ass world. The story revolves around a group of individuals who are in way over their head in a society of regimented lameness and personal excess, only to find themselves in the seediest of situations. I very much found myself relating to the character of Danny, a neurotic music obsessed dude who often lets his crazy prevent him from doing whats best, and yes, comics is how i keep myself in check. The major thing about Young Liars that i love is the fact that every issue comes with a little visual mix tape that lets the reader know what the soundtrack to each issue should be. Mr. Lapham has good taste and his stories unfold to the sounds of Suicide, The Fall, Bowie, Wire, and Tears For Fears to name a few. This book also just got canceled because its too good. Find it, read it, know it, and love it.

these are some Michael Jackson drawings i did in the deli the week of Michael Jackson week. i like making stuff from deli trash and the pigments on the pastry board drawing were made from oil cured greek olive juice, spanish chorizo grease, and roasted red pepper juice. we also all wore one latex glove the following day after we had heard he passed. i love drawing Michael Jackson cause no one has a face like that and his eyes were always epicly sad & sedated.

yes, awesome. glad this finally arrived this week. this is the first pressing of The Dead Weather's first single Hang You From The Heavens from their upcoming full length Horehound. b side contains a cover of Gary Numan's Are 'Friends' Electric ? this is also the first official release from Jack White's new label Third Man Records. this may warrant another trip to Nashville because i wanna check out that vinyl shop hes got going in their. this seems like a really good thing for all the people involved in this project. it has a freshness to it that the raconteurs always lacked for me. stoked for this record and the tour later in summer. i like Jack White on drums. also, Baby Ruthless is probably the best rock n roll pseudonym i've ever heard.

Mucha inspired digital illustration

2009-05-02T08:26:00.000-07:00

in my digital illustration class we had to create a piece inspired by the work of the art nouveau master Alphonse Mucha. we had to use our own photography and our own model, so i decided that since i had all those good PJ Harvey shots from last month's show at the El Rey i might as well use em. the critique went well.

Current Favorite Album Covers

2009-03-26T13:12:00.000-07:00

i felt that it was time once again to give a mention to my current favorite album covers. i haven't done this in a while because i haven't seen any new album covers that have struck me particularly, but these gave my eyes and mind a bit of a bone.

first up is the the Yeah Yeah Yeah's It's Blitz!. this is the strongest cover ive seen in a while. simple and bad ass. i originally thought it was a hand holding a fucked up flower, but when i saw that it was an egg i thought it was even better. i feel like their last EP IS IS was awesome and dark and the cover worked, unlike their second album whose title i cant even remember. this cover makes me wanna go swimming and cook hot dogs on a fire pit, sipping tequila if possible and i havent even heard the record yet.

second up is the cover for Antony & The Johnson's new record The Crying Light. unfortunately i have not heard this record yet despite the fact that Antony has one of the most intriguing voices and that this record has been out for months, probably two. i like the fact that since I Am A Bird Now his album covers have been vivid black and white images that call upon the beauty of his voice as well as the sheer absurdity of it. i feel as though i am being read a story in a series and its refreshing because its simple and strong.

thirdly we have the artwork for Chad Vangaalen's Soft Airplane out on Sub Pop. another record that has been out for months and that i have not heard. i love his first two albums and the way he makes his records, which is by himself in his basement with a shit load of random sounds and equipment. i tried to buy it on amazon but my card got lost so the transaction got cancelled. his work is all done by him and is always interesting. he steers towards a psychotic childhood / bad dream thing that i like. its raw and suits the homemade quality of his music. sometimes it just feels good to see somthing done by hand because it serves as a reminder that we all need to just calm down most of the time.

last but not least is Depeche Mode's cover art for their new record Sounds Of The Universe. many fans are not fond of this cover but i find this cover striking and reminiscent of Peter Saville's style and the design work he did with factory records. i don't know who designed it so i will have to find out when i get the album. the new single "Wrong" has a classic Depeche sound scape to it and it fits that the cover art hearkens back to their minimalistic stylistic approach via Violator and Music For The Masses.
