The Sketchy Shuffle

  Skipping through music, I've discovered quite an odd list when on shuffle:

I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plan- Frank Sinatra

Let's Call The Whole Thing Off- Ella Fitzgerald

White Wedding- Billy Idol

I can't tell if I see a message there or some sort of terrible prophecy!

Edit: Upon further listening, Let's Call The Whole Thing Off features Louis Armstrong singing "Potato, Potahto, let's call the whole thing off," I assume he's telling not to worry about it. Though now I must come up with a dance called the Sketchy Shuffle.

Is That Penciled or Are You Just Happy To See Me?

New comic!

Color Me Ossified

Just Happy to See Me: Black and White Version of CMO

If you go back and forth between the two, Devian Tart causes this gray glow when you look at the B&W version.

Like A Rolling Stone, Like A Train Wreck Home

Drawing women is like doing heart surgery for the first time. At first you think you're doing awesome, it's going really well, it's all coming together nicely. Then...you get into the details and it all goes to hell and you have to inform the family that she didn't make it. Then you erase the whole thing and start over. You can do that in surgery, right?

Drills and Screws

Drills and Screws 

Drills and Screws is the only song ever to be recorded by The Flintlocks. While the band was not fully formed yet (we did not have the bassist we eventually did), the three main members were all involved. The whirring is actually an air ratchet (we recorded this in the technical theater space at the high school our junior year). 

Myles Teague: Vocals

Tim Foley: Bass

Nathan Green: Lyrics

Brian Lomasney: Air Ratchet

  The Flintlocks lasted from June to August of 2009. The only other original song by The Flintlocks was The Dungeons and Dragons Song.

A Game!

  I came up with this weird association game yesterday.
The way you play is that you pick a song on your playlist, any song. Choose a word from the title and find a song with that word in that one's title. Lather, rinse, and repeat as necessary. For example:

1. Sorrow-Bad Religion
2. I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow-O Brother Where Art Thou?
3. Piano Man-Billy Joel
4. The Piano Duet-Corpse Bride
5. Violin Duet-Gaelic Storm

 I ran out of songs that could work there, which is the point of the game and it's over! If I had gone with Iron Man by Black Sabbath instead of Piano Man, I would have gotten Iron by Ensiferum and been done. If I had gone with Sadness and Sorrow [Piano Version] by Enigma, I would have come full circle to Sorrow by Bad Religion, but I felt that was cheating because it's not really the title.

  Anyway, It's cool to see where you end up. I went from a punk song about religion to lively fiddles by an Irish band. What did you get?
