Sound and Chaos: The Story of BC Studios. Let me know what you think. The Color of Noise, another good doc, is about Amphetamine Reptile.

EVOL is my favorite. I just watched a documentary about BC studios, a converted industrial building, where it was recorded. If ever a space visually represented the sound of an album, it has to be the creepy basement where the songs were tracked. Some great Swans records were made there as well, to give you more of an idea. Anyway, I'd say Washing Machine is #2, followed by Sister and then Daydream Nation.

Luke Vibert- Bizarster Pretty tasty. Autechre- Untilted & Quaristice Both sound fresh and invigorating to me now, after years of frustrating listens to their post-'99 material. Pig Destroyer- Prowler in the Yard Need my head caved in once in a while. Venetian Snares- Your Face & Thank You for Your Consideration Especially digging the latter; lots of stylistic variety.

Was meaning to pick this up but not gotten round to it. Will pick up the TP if it ever gets compiled, overall positive? Overall...I guess it's positive? Ha...sorry, I'm not really sure how I feel about it. Like I said, I was surprised to learn that it's a five-issue mini; it seems to be in the middle of the beginning, arc-wise. Burnham's artwork is cool, that much I can say for sure. Lots of gore, glyphs, incantations, and a sentient asteroid headed for Earth. If I'm honest, I'm waiting for Morrisson's Sinatoro from Black Mask; this series is a stop gap, for me.

Suiciders #5...still on board with this series, great artwork. Annihilator #6...finally; haven't read it yet. The Humans #6...could see this wearing thin, but staying with it for now (those splash pages though!) Nameless #4...of 5 apparently; interested to see how he pulls this one out of the hat. Injection #2...bodes well after two issues and being disappointed w/ the first arc of 'Trees'. Still on the back-burner: The Authority Vol. 2 (about two issues in) & The Boys (extended hiatus, halfway through V.9-The Big Ride). Just finished V.1 of Clowes's 'The Complete Eightball'

Party Down via hulu. Ken Marino in the main cast and others from The State making cameos. Very funny show.

The Complete Eightball- Daniel Clowes 33 1/3 Wowee Zowee- Bryan Charles Crime & Punishment- Fyodor Dostoevsky

Sleaford Mods- Austerity Dogs, Divide and Exit, Chubbed Up +, Tiswas EP. Nasty and bilious, perfect for a shit winter already here in the northeastern US.

Preacher Book 3- Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon Nemesis- Mark Millar, Steve McNiven Ongoing series: Multiversity, Terminal Hero, Trees, Annihilator At some point soon, Zenith Phase 1. And, some bookmarked fic and non-fic to finish off (not much luck there). I'd like to read Crime & Punishment this winter.

The Dialectical Imagination- Martin Jay #$@&! The Official Lloyd Llewellyn Collection- Daniel Clowes 33 1/3 SAW Pt. II- Mark Weidenbaum Recently finished Milligan/Allred's X-Statix Omnibus. Pretty entertaining read.

William Basinski- Disintegration Loops I-III Daniel Avery- Drone Logic Ultrademon- Seapunk Artificial Brain- Labyrinth Constellation

Planetary Omnibus- Warren Ellis & John Cassaday Little Failure: A Memoir- Gary Shteyngart

I'd like to check out Cerebus some day. A friend of mine has a couple of volumes, I think. Not sure I could make it all the way through. Ed the Happy Clown is sittin' on my shelf, unread as of this moment. It was an impulse buy and is not a high priority, but hopefully I'll get around to it. Looking forward to the Planetary Omnibus in early 2014, and perhaps the Ex Machina collected volumes as well (couldn't really get into Y: The Last Man).

A blueberry muffin.

I watched Holy Mountain a few weeks ago. Some wicked imagery, but I thought the ending was the deftest touch of all. I'd seen some of Fernando Arrabal's work and was surprised at the thematic and visual similarities.

Bleeding Edge is lush, bruv What do you think of Doom Patrol? I think it's second only to Animal Man as far as Morrison goes. My wife is reading it presently and likes it quite a bit. From what she's said about it I'll prob check it out when she's done. Cool, I'll add it to the list. this was really good. it's like a victorian mystery novel with an intriguing presence of the mystical. her prose is very cool and detailed, which combined with the very long first half of the book may feel somewhat plodding. however, the pacing is very deliberate and as the book starts to gets moving one is grateful for her cool, clear writing. this could easily have been botched by a heavier hand, one more easily tempted to indulge in the fantastic. definitely recommend it, it's quite a compelling story, very tightly woven and there is just the right touch of un-resolution throughout. the structure of the book really lends itself to a quick reading, despite its length. lush/10 Excellent, I'm already up 110th on the library waiting list for this! It'll be my fav read of 2015. Doom Patrol is a nice juxtaposition to The Invisibles, which put me through the eye of a needle last winter. Pretty sure that tome changed/will change my life. DP is a lot easier to follow (so far!), and I like the artwork. Not too well-versed in comics, but it's a medium I have a newfound respect for.

Slogging through Pynchon's Bleeding Edge and almost finished with Vol. 1 of Grant Morrison's run on Doom Patrol.
