A surprise awaits you around every corner!
Well not really, but they do tend to jump out at the most unexpected moments (though it would wouldn't really be a surprise if you expected it, would it?).
I was surprised today when I got saw a package in the mail from Aleia. Even though I knew she was ssending me a package I didn't expect it so quickly, so many, many thanks Aleia!!
What did I recieve, you ask? Well I recieved the kick ass Scarling CD, Sweet Heart Dealer. I am not going to elaborate much on this CD because if you visit here you are probably also visiting Wrapped in Plastic (if you are not you should be Ass-Face) and have read T-Dawgs review of the band. The only thing I can add to his mighty awesome review is that the album has a track entitled Crispin Glover. If you are cool, you would recognize Crispin Glover's name from Back to the Future (where he played Marty McFly's father) or from the Doors (where he played Andy Warhol). If you are a loser you might recognize him as Thin Man from the Charlie's Angel's movies. Since I know him from both I am obviously a cool loser.
I'd also like to shamefully plug a couple cool comic books, mainly because they are way cooler than Anime or Manga ever could hope to be (I can feel the heat from the inevitable flames that comment will draw).
The first title is Ex Machina. Issue number two is just coming out this week (and I am sure number one is floating around still at most stores) and it is guaranteed to be an interesting read. The main character is a super hero turned politician that seems to have the ability to communicate with various man-made devices. The plot seems very character driven and Tony Harris and Tom Feister do an amazing job on the art.
The other title I'd like to plug is Sleepers, another anti-hero driven comic. This is another new title, so I am not sure if the plot will sustain in the long run, but right now it seems pretty awesome. The only information that has so far been presented about the main character is that he was a good guy but now he is bad, and he is a bad ass. The reader has no idea what makes him a bad ass, we just no he is.
All right, enough for now. Again, many thanks go out to Aleia for the kick ass CD!
