Bonne fête Astérix!

In celebration of the 50th birthday of a comics icon... it's part of how I learned to read French early on (along with Lucky Luke)...

The artwork was/is just gorgeous, and I'm so happy they're doing a proper anniversary collection - restoring all the work. Check it out at the official Asterix site...

Have guitar will... pose for picture?

I always get big ideas, and then can't find the time, the energy, the patience, the (insert-excuse-of-choice-here)... but I really hope this project (the one that has spawned this guy here) doesn't die... I really want to see it through.

*sigh*

The Fuses Have Been Lit!

Pop Will Eat Itself... one of the best (and most under-rated) bands of all time. So ahead of the curve. Clint (lead vocals, pictured) has gone on to do fantastic movie scores (Pi, Requium For A Dream, The Wrestler, Moon to name a few) - but I still wish he could have joined the rest of the boys for ONE more album (there was a start)...

Many classics left in their wake...
