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?

Comics Comics Comics!

  For now my website is down and blogspot doesn't like when pictures are too big, so I've uploaded them to my Devian Tart:

A Day in the Life
Fun Fact: I wrote this while on the train yesterday and when I pictured the last frame, I actually did giggle a bit.

Questions Answered
Fun Fact: I came up with this one while half awake as I was getting ready for class.

Grand Theft Of My Heart
Fun Fact: That brick wall took about half an hour to draw because I used a ruler.
Fun Fact II: That logo is probably my official one now.

The Health Fairy
Fun Fact: I drew this for someone when they were sick, and it will replace an animation I used to send sick people because I don't have the animation anymore. It was a card that said, Screw "Get Well Soon"... and it would explode and a guy climbed out of the hole and said, Get well now!

Philosophical Musings
Fun Fact: During finals week I did three things: played World of Warcraft, listened to podcasts with the artist and the writer of Least I Could Do, and drew comics.

Ankle Schmankle
Fun Fact: The title was going to be Patients are a Sprain in the Neck, but it felt too long and I didn't want people thinking I sprained my neck.
Fun Fact II: I drew this most recently besides A Day In The Life and I forgot to scan it in last night with everything else. Probably because I couldn't find it and out of sight out of mind.
