This comic is just great. I love this style of drawing alot. Also its biographical representation of Yuko and Ananth is quite amusing but Johnny Wander is definately a favorite comic of mine.

Track of the week- Miss fat booty by Mos Def

Fiora

(Left to Right: Me, Paul, Jack)

Fiora was a girl that I met when I went camping a few years back. She was a just a girl with brown curls, and a face that could shock you in two ways. Quite plain really.. but she was nice. I liked her. I wouldn't say that I was in love because I probably wasn't anything to her and she wasn't very interesting. But she definitely was a perfect picture. Happiness and composure were the things that struck out about her to me. None of which I had. I was young and the sand was cold and wet, and it didn't rain mostly. This trip is abit vague in my memory because I stayed at the same camping spot numerous times consecutively throughout the last 3 years of my high school days. Most times with my odd friends Paul and Jack.

Its hard to point out the insignificant things in my life because most of them I forgot about or are too small to really hold onto. I wish I did though. That is what Fiora stands for: The little gaps in my memory for the things that I really appreciated in my past. Visual moments. As I grow older it feels as though I need to hold onto something. Like a thin line that everbody is racing for and I need to keep swimming to keep up with them. Distractions.. Oh well.

Ariel Pink's Lover Boy is an album that I suppose doesn't mean anything specifically. You can listen it.. and sure it's lo fi but there are musicians out there who may focus on the technicality and production side of the music being rehearsed but there are also other musicians who want to go past the sphere of music for the sake of being musical. Its easy accepting music like this because its unoffensive and people like it. I'm not reducing the music that you listen to is a worthless piece of crap. I'm saying that there is things that we see today and especially in the music industry, that music is just built on what we've seen on T.V. or listened to or have read in history books. Music in my mind should also incorporate experience, dreams, feelings, stories.
Explore a world that you peer into, past your reality and delve into the black waters of Hyper-consciousness and/or the dreamworld and sometimes they combine when your playing or creating. This doesnt lie in the lyrics or the music. I think it lies in the sounds. The novel. The sounds. I think in a way this should be taught. Some people need to be guided into being honest within their music, once you can be totally honest and free in your own music. Then you make wonders and enjoy having days of pure extascy just enjoying what you create and knowing that your song, your personal song is being released out into the open.

Loverboy is a wonderful magical journey into dream and adventure. Superb album. In some ways very similar to Mothers of Invention - We're only in it for the money.
