Episode 10: My Engine Stays Runnin'

MY ENGINE STAYS RUNNIN'
Microns, Sharpies, Prismacolors, & Copics on paper

You can only make so much use of a dying marker that's old and on its last leg. RIP to that OTR that went for almost a year straight.

As slow as I am to post on this blog, this will probably be released before any of you even read this. I'm still here to do my job, though:

A L I E N: Earth Teaser

I've always kept the thought in the back of my mind that having a cat on a space station has to be one of the biggest annoyances in the universe - besides an actively aggressive xenomorph...obviously. I mean, they knock shit over and trip people for no reason. It's only a matter of time before they set the ship off course just because they feel like it. Be that as it may, I'm excited about this new direction the A L I E N franchise is taking but let's be real...Jonesy probably put that egg on the Sulaco.

This is a major loss for the OG Adult Swim fam:
From The Seattle Times:

"George Lowe, the actor who voiced superhero turned talk-show host Space Ghost on “Space Ghost: Coast to Coast” on the Cartoon Network for nearly two decades, died Sunday in Lakeland, Fla. He was 67.

His agent, Christy Clark, confirmed the death. His family said in a statement that Lowe had a challenging recovery after undergoing elective heart surgery in November.

“Space Ghost: Coast to Coast” was the first fully original program for Cartoon Network and the spark that led to the creation of Adult Swim, the network’s late-night programming block. The show, which ran for 11 seasons from 1994 until 2012, reimagined Space Ghost, the title character from a 1960s Hanna-Barbera superhero cartoon, as a temperamental talk show host in a new format that mixed animation and live action.

He said "lemme just chirp that to my Twangers". George Lowe gave Space Ghost the sharp wit that made him a legendary character in the Adult Swim lineage. His is the type of art that can't be reproduced, so I'm sad to hear about his passing.

Be honest, I look like an IT guy in this video:


If this gives away anything about me, it's probably that I'm much geekier than you would've guessed. Look, there comes a moment in your life where you start receiving mail about AARP and you just become a regular person out of nowhere. It's hilarious.

On the subject of geekery:

PETE HOLMES - LIFE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

I think there are certain principles of reality that most - if not all - people inherently realize, so we invent institutions, belief systems, communities, laws, and the likes to govern or lessen the probability of objective societal collapse. What Pete Holmes just pointed out in this video is one of those principles. Do with that what you will...


The following film is an example of what I like to imagine happens a lot with our current space faring institutions:
LIFE
WATCH HERE

Mind you, what I meant by my previous statement was that our current space faring institutions probably withhold information about what they find on their expeditions. Not "there are deadly organisms they've discovered and they haven't told us yet". Although...

...but, nah, L I F E (the movie, not the existential dread marathon I'm living) was a breath of fresh air for me as far as modern scifi goes. Sure, we've seen the "crew of researchers go into space and find a violent being they shouldn't have fucked with" trope a few times, but none of them have the comic relief of Ryan Reynolds.

This was a fun, wild, atmospheric aural adventure:

HORO VISION PODCAST 019: ASC

From SOUND CLOUD:

ASC marks the release of his Defiance LP for Horo with a 2-hour mix of 170BPM techno and Grey Area seeds made around the same time as the tracks on the LP.

LISTEN HERE

I listened to the first half of this in the dark while typing out and coding this blog post. I felt like I was trying to get into The Gibson for a second. ASC has been making the type of out there, otherworldy drum and bass since I caught his Pitch Black release on Offshore / Ohm Resistance on the flip of Quoit & Submerged murderous killer tune El Topo. Still rock both sides to this day.

Until the next episode, rock to this tune by a couple of my favorite drum and bass producers gone rogue into a nasty boom-bap bboy anthem. Next time!
