So here it is, the promised epic-ness in form of (another) Doctor Who-parody. Believe it or not, I’ve been working on this joke for ages but only now got it done. Dunno really, I could say so much about this but right now just don’t feel like it. (ED-IT: Okay, some notes can be found at my LJ)
Okay, one thing: The newspaper clippings in the last panel are not from The Scum but the Evening Standard I bought from Heathrow Airport. Because it had topless Russell Brand on the frontpage. Originally I intended the Tabloids being actual monsters (you know, with nasty fangs and claws) but though it might be fun to do something different instead. I’m quite pleased with it because I found just the right words, even crack and Priory!
Also, this entry has nothing to do with the fact that season 4 of nuWho starts in a week. It’s purely coincidental.
-D
Okay, this isn’t the promised epic entry yet. But something. It’s, er, nice to be back. Yeah.
-D
That’s right, I’m off to UK with my sidekick, how cool is that! And you’ll get to ogle at Mozzer and Kele for the whole week! (Maybe longer, I’m not sure when I’ll get back to updating again, but when I do, it’ll be epic.)
…and of course dear old Ruisrock must announce more artists the very Monday I’m leaving the country, eh. But as if I’d care about it then, I’m in the bloody UK!
-D
And I got new, shiny markers. I broke them as well.
-D
Bit of a filler entry, this one. Blah blah no reference at the time, bad anatomy and bad colouring blah blah blah you know the deal.
I’m not saying that my only reasons to like Klaxons are the facts that their videos feature scantily-clad boys of the band (instead of general MTV bikini babes), but that certainly helps! :B
-D
Sorry folks (you two native English-speakers out there), only my fellow Finns (if even them) will get this. Really, you’re not missing anything, just bad puns.
I’m once again mocking my hometown boys (it’s not that they deserve it or anything but I’m all for cheap jokes.) and the last “artist” is a tribute to Rockhuora (update more often, you slag!).
-D
Maybe it’s too early to judge the whole week (come on it’s Wednesday..), but so what. The only music-related thing that made me happy this week was Depeche Mode’s Violator. On cassette! Found it while going through my sister’s stash.
Back to today’s comic (yes, I actually drew it just a moment ago. Looks like it as well.) and the issues it’s about. What. The Hell! Many of my friends seem happy and are SO going to Provinssi/Ruisrock, but I don’t remember ever being this sad because of the artists announced. Or more likely, the lack of acts I’d like to see.
(Why the token Canadian band is always Danko Jones? Arcade Fire would be much more interesting.)
So if Finland’s festival scene makes me all depressed, why don’t I go to, let’s say, Roskilde then? (Bloody Danes got Radiohead! Band of Horses and Holy Fuck as well. I’m not a proper fan of those two yet but definitely interested.) Well I sure would love to, but it’s expensive and just getting there would take too much time. (In case I get a job for summer, you see. It’s easier to go to Seinäjoki or Turku for the weekend and get back on monday than get out of the country.) Also for such a big trip I should’ve started making arrangements already.
And if all that would work out, I still don’t have the most important festival accessory, a friend or two to go with! Not saying that my friends are piss-poor or not into the music I like, but..
And now for something I made for a friend of mine: Mix CD of the most insane “music” I have on my computer. The title stands for CRAZY SHIT and that’s exactly what the whole disc is full of. The artwork has nothing to do with the contents of the cd, except that hip “I am so unique and indie with my vintage looks and stupid black helmet hair and flat ballerina shoes and tunic and leggings and blahblah” girls probably couldn’t stand listening to it.
..Okay, even I had hard time compiling it but so what.
And here’s the tracklisting.
That’s all for now.
-D
Yeah, blah.
Good Ruisrock news tomorrow? Please? (Also, more Provinssi announcements at Wednesday. )
And IWATSW were awesome. Going to see them again in April, oh yes.
-D
