#ALL50RTS Day 43

8. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN - “The Boy With The Arab Strap” (98)

A track that makes me intensely nostalgic for my late 20s with a lovely nodding dog scout campfire beat. I once hung around in Pret just to see if they’d fade out before the wanks bit (they did)

youtu.be/dN1iW-ee5I8?...

I remember as a small nerd I used to often morbidly think “what if *I* die before that book/LP/comic I want comes out?”, obviously this was a skill issue and I should have been yelling “you OWE me mister” at the artists I liked

Los Camp! play Green Man Festival tonight.
📍 Far Out
⏰ 19:30 (60 min set)

It’s the Big Welsh Gig, our triumphant return to GM, 17 years after our last visit.

Who’s with us!?

The three paintings I did back in 2010 for The Sweet Smell of Success for @criterion.bsky.social All gouache on paper.

The Power Fantasy #11 cover. Blood stained crater in the shape of a power symbol.

The Wicked + The Divine #11 cover. Decapitated bust covered in blood.

Nothing like a good old fashioned @kierongillen.bsky.social #11

Remembrance Hellblazer cover. John Constantine and Xanthe Zhou are among a field of flowers with ominous lighting. John is in the front, with a giant black hound's jaw encasing him while Xanthe peeks on from behind. John gently holds the hound's jaw at bay, his face half obscured in shadow with one eye glowing golden yellow. His right earring also glistens.

Page 1 Panel 1- A young, very punk era John Constantine (white boy, blond fabulously punk hair, several ear piercings on both ears, eye-makeup) is sitting at a bar table with his Mucous Membrane band mates. They’re all giddily chuckling in anticipation. Ray Monde is performing the song “Miss Me Blind” by Culture Club off panel. ANNOUNCER: Let’s welcome to the stage, Ray Monde! RAY: I’ll teach you, and you’ll never be sure Panel 2-Reveal of Ray Monde in a fabulous drag outfit. Ray is an elderly white man wearing a red wig, dangling earrings, purple dress and fluffy giant fur scarf thing. He sings with sultry confidence. RAY: If the way that you need, is too much like greed- decide if you’re rich or you’re poor Panel 3- John stares in awe as Ray walks closer to him. Ray’s hand is outstretched. RAY: Because this love that I have to give, must be better than that kind Panel 4- John’s POV, close up of Ray Monde continuing to sing flirtatiously at him. RAY: It can make you rich, it can make you poor Panel 5- Close up of John’s eyes staring in bewilderment. He’s blushing at Ray off panel. RAY: But I know that you’ll miss me blind

Page 2 Panel 1- Match cut to an older, present-day John Constantine (he’s in his late 30s to 40s by now with messy blond hair, a five o’clock shadow, and only one earring on his right ear). While we don’t see much background, it’s of the cemetery. Night time with lots of fog. RAY (caption, sound bridge from previous scene): “I know you’ll miss me” XANTHE: It’s awful what’s happening. Panel 2- John and Xanthe (a Chinese-Indonesian non-binary person with black hair, a shaved cut, and wears an earring on both ears) walking through the graveyard together. They’re both in black suits, looking around the cemetery. Xanthe is holding a tote bag, while John is holding a bouquet of flowers. XANTHE: You’d think news of a demon dog prowling the cemetery would scare kids off. JOHN: Suspect there’s more going on here than that. Panel 3- Xanthe staring at John’s outfit incredulously. XANTHE: I suspect there’s more going on with you, lah. You’re not usually this dressed up, for anything or anyone. Panel 4- John marches ahead stubbornly, adjusting his lapels. Xanthe looks on concerningly at John. JOHN: Since we’re visiting an old mate of mine while we’re here, I figured. I mean- Ray’s important… he’s- XANTHE: Tongzhi, right? JOHN: …Right. Panel 5- John in the foreground looking away. Xanthe in the back, confused. XANTHE: So why invite me over for this? Seems personal. JOHN: There’s a dog prowling around, Xanthe. Panel 6- We look up to the night sky. XANTHE: Pick your next words carefully, kung-kung. JOHN: I really don’t like dogs.

Feel The Ballad of El Goodo In the Street Thirteen

Has there ever been a better first-four-songs-of-an-album sequence than that of Big Star's #1 RECORD?

metamorpho and his baby. MM is making his finger into a rattle and his other hand into a quilt.

I don't draw a lot of fan art, but I felt compelled to scribble this out because I'd have loved to see what @al-ewing.bsky.social would've done with Li'l Joey.

#ALL50RTS Day 15

36. PATTI SMITH - “Land: Horses / Land Of A Thousand Dances / La Mer(de)”

She loves horses, best of all the animals. Thrilling, intense, silly, visionary, provocative, occasionally quite embarrassing, i.e. everything you’d want from rock in 9 minutes

48. DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS - “The Occasional Flicker”

Kevin Rowland comes back after his global smash hit to tell us “Compromise is the devil talking” and bellow “I WAS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!” before getting into a conversation about heartburn

Many of this Labour government were indie kids at uni back when bands as dangerous as Kingmaker were singing about bombing the House of Lords, they’ve seen where this can lead

The most important part of republican fascism is the demand you must be nice to them.

If youre lobbying your MP tomorrow..

Keep calm and read this first.

Hi I made a silly little comic about singing MCR

Harry Nilsson, Arthur Dent, The Dude, Brian Wilson, Kevin from Time Bandits, Peter Buck

Here’s to Brian Wilson, and all the heroes who go on great adventures in their dressing gowns.

In honor of Brian Wilson's passing, here are the four categories of Beach Boys songs:

1. surfing is great, you should try it
2. I have a good vehicle
3. I reach beyond myself into the ineffable, and that's where I find you, my love
4. sloop john b

like when you run across a Kirby drawing of Spider-Man and it feels existentially off while still being compelling

My Reactionary Views Are Transparently A Mid-Life Crisis (But Here’s Why That’s Good Actually)

Screenshot of a livestream with Mark Millar and several ComicsGate people

Mark Millar being a full-blown ComicsGate supporter is not very surprising but the impact he had on western comics (especially in the oughts) now feels like a full-blown tragedy. There's no real excuse for his stuff that can hold up when he's openly declared his allegiance to fight the "wokes".

Blue Labour group urges ministers to ‘root out DEI’ to win over Reform voters Faction influencing No 10 says government should legislate against DEI in hiring, sentencing and ‘wherever else’

A group of Labour MPs, peers and supporters write:

“We should legislate to root out DEI in hiring practices, sentencing decisions and wherever else we find it in our public bodies.”

Devastated to see how quickly this has arrived in the UK mainstream.

Rac Shade a dark-haired man in a long, multicoloured coat, collapses in a desert of red sand in front of an alien looking rock pile with obelisk vibes. “He is deep in the area of madness,” reads the narrative caption. “The winter solstice of his season in hell.” From Peter Milligan and Phil Bond’s Shade the Changing Man 48.

The vibe today.

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.

Absolutely fuck everyone involved in this show. They know. They all know. It's impossible not to at this point.

Lithgow had a CLOSE FRIEND reach out and try and get how awful this is through to him and he's more than happy to take the role and is "curious" to meet Rowling.

Absolute fucking scum.

Trans rights and trans liberation now. Anyone with a heart or a soul is sick of this evil shit and how it's taken over the UK - not to mention it's the tip of the spear, as we've been warned by our trans siblings so many times.

No forgiveness or pity for transphobes, in government or outside of it.

IT IS I, POKEY!!!! I AM HOLDING A LOVELY TRANS FLAG AND DECLARING THUS: HOORAY FOR MY NICE TRANS FRIENDS!!

RANKING LITERALLY EVERY PROPHET IN THE BIBLE BY HOW GOOD OF A POSTER THEY WOULD BE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER

NO I AM NOT KIDDING
