My Current Song Of The Moment

Although I've always been a Graham Parker fan, for some reason this particular song is speaking to me - here's a video, with lyrics:


And yes, that is Bruce Springsteen on backing vocals......

An Open Note to the "Comc Treadmill" Guys

Dear H and Mag,

First, I loved your recent post on the Comic Treadmill about super hero duct tape.

But frankly....I'm disappointed.

Graham Parker and the Rumor reunited....and you didn't tell me?

Oh, well, I still like you guys anyway. Enjoy the following videos.

Your pal,
Gordon

Your Graham Parker/Brian Wilson Moments of Zen

Things are kind of tough all over....and not just because of the heat.

Some of my pals - along with me - have had to deal with some personal internet-based drama. However, I'm offering this musical interlude as a way of bringing some joy and serenity to our lives.

Plus, you can never get enough Graham Parker.

Obligatory Graham Parker Video Post For the Comic Treadmill

Because the Comic Treadmill is slightly more awesome than Mike Sterling:

For The Guys At The Comic Treadmill

Enjoy!

You Make Me Tag Along Run Into The Rent-A-Crowd

Things have been very busy this past week - a fund raising project and some temporary work have had me busy. So, in an attempt to bring all of you up to speed, here are some quick little bullet items for your perusal:

• Current favorite reads: Marvel, surprisingly, with The Twelve and Immortal Iron Fist. Both are more than willing to take some old school styles and give them some new school twists. Both series are highly recommended.
• Just finished the hardcover of Marvel Zombies. Good to know that a one-page premise could sustain a mini-series...but why?
• Shameless self-promotion: this Wednesday at 1:00 pm, I'll be doing an in-studio interview as pop culture-comic blogger/non-profit community mobilizer/Jack of All Trades. You can listen in the Chicago area on 89.5 FM, or click here (which may be a future host of the podcast) at that time for a streaming version.
• I'm loving the heck out of Facebook's "Virtual Bookshelf" application. You can check out my profile on the sidebar, and send me a note if interested.
• Thursday night, I'll be doing this networking event - if you're a young professional, and/or want to get involved in Chicago non-profits, please attend.
• I have also been asked to acquire sponsorships for a reggae/Jamaican music festival with health/educational themes - please e-mail me if you have contacts with an appropriate company.
• Finally, Robert Johnson - available for download now.
  

And now, as I always like to do, let's end with a song:

A Friday Dedication

On the Up Escalator, Going Down All the Cracks

Just another in our continuing series of random thoughts that don't really warrant a full post. I do this because - let's face it - I care about my audience. You're the ones who have this blog the relative success it is. I am merely your humble blogging monkey boy.

And away-y-y-y we go!

• Be sure you head over to Andy's blog and wish him well, since he's going through one major sinus infection. And while you're at it, give Podcrapular a listen.
• Blogging about blogging is a sin, but especially if you neglect to mention the Legion Abstract. So please also show them some blog love.
• Here's everything you need to know about Graham Parker.
• I think I got this from Laura's blog, but here's an inspirational story if you want to release a favorite cult classic on DVD.
• I've updated the blog roll, and have added Bully's Comics. He's 6 and a half years old, he's a stuffed bull, and he's a great read.
• Dear Eddie Berganza - please hire this gentleman from this television show to write Supergirl, and I'll read it. I promise.
• Finally, online Doctor Who adventures - just scroll down and click.
