It Begins!!!!!!!!!!

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!

Anyway, this is my first blog, and may theoretically be the home of a future podcast. I'm going to focus on two subjects, music (mostly of the underground or Alaskan varieties) and comics (mostly of every variety). I'm really interested in both, so you probably are too, right? Maybe I'll come up with a two font color system so you can skip the stuff you don't care about. I'm 22, married, parent of a 3 year old boy and a 2 week old boy. I'm in 2 active bands, 4 that will probably never perform or play together again, and I've got a project in mind to hopefully be ready in the next few months.

TEST YOUR MIGHT!!!!!

I guess I'll try a real first post to compliment that introductory stuff. Lets choose our font colours:

comics music
comics music

comics music looks pretty good to me. Open to opinions.


I guess I'll start with comics today. Today I bought All-Star Superman #8 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. Totally awesome. Unrelentingly. My favorite part was the bizarro national anthem, as sung by Le-Roj!!!

"NO SAY, AM NO SEE BY AM NIGHT'S EARLY DARK! HOW SHAMEFULLY QUIET BY AM MORNING'S FIRST FADING! THIN STRIPES AND DULL STARS THROUGH THE COMFORTABLE PEACE, UNDER TRENCHES NO WATCH, AM SO CRAVENLY HANGING! BY NO ROCKET'S BLUE SHADE AM NO SHELLS DEAD DOWN THERE, GAVE NO PROOF ALL DAY LONG THAT THE FLAG WAS UNWHERE! NO SAY DOES AM SPAR-STRANGLED SHROUD HANG LIMPLY! UNDER LAND OF NO FREE! AM US HOME COWARDLEEEE!"


In a comic released in America on the 4th of July. Probably not an accident. Just sayin', it am make me unproud. And who doesn't love the bizarro-justice leaguers??? Probably nobody. There's also this nice scene where Supes is trying to get help and Bizarro leads the other bizarros in mocking him.




All in all, a great issue. Not the best in the series, but still solidly atop the piles that are rolling out of DC


In the world of music, I'll take a little narcissistic bent. Tony, of my favorite local promotions/record label Reverse Retro, put up the end of my first set as DJSNESDS. In this project I use Super Nintendos as turntables, switching out cartriges of Mario Paint and various other games. I use my Nintendo DS and Electroplankton to overlay more music. This video is hitting at the end of my set, where Electroplankton is distorting a sampled scream. I'll be doing this again soon.



At the very end you can catch a little of the last Mario Paint beat I made, "I Love Sarah A." The song is named after the saved picture that was on the used cartridge when i bought it, but one of the two members of the Lucky Dragons (whom I was opening for) is named Sarah Anderson. Fun people, fun show.

Also, The Moon Knights (a band I drum for) is featred on the Dresden Dolls MySpace Page. We are performing a cover of their song Delilah, and they apparently liked it. You can see me watching 28 days later at this New Year's Eve party, waiting for my cue. Thanks Dresden Dolls!!!


FINISH HIM!!!!

Next time on The Effete Bomb, Silver Surfer #8 (1988), Smashing Pumpkins-"Zeitgeist", High Places-"Golden", and probably more. Thanks for bearing with me through my first blog post. Also, if you live in Anchorage, I'll hopefully see you at Del tha Funky Homosapien this Friday, July 13th @ 9PM.
