Brian from Shots Ring Out compares the stop motion technique to a blowjob “a predictable technique but you’re always happy in the end.” read more here.
Thanks Brian, a strange but satisfying review.

It’s been a week alright! Now I return to my abandoned muses after this post. So the emails waiting? be patient….I suspect I shall get to them after the Halloween gig this SUNDAY I need time with the muses for now…
On to Supanova…and yeah…this is me rubbing it in for the Poor unfortunate souls who couldn’t make it….you really really should have gone…muhahahaha…. Here are snippets and highlights from Supanova. (in no order of shock factor or merit)
1) Finally meeting and hanging out with the guys from Cool (Shite) from the Tube. This year, they got the honour of hosting Supanova 2005. Minion brains should go ingest some Cool (shite) because they ingest really bad films for our sakes and have exquisite taste when it comes to great films…so you won’t cry as much when you blow your paycheck on your next bout of films
2) learning that one of my album tracks “Too Subliminal” has become the soundtrack for the Cool (shite) supanova podcast
…I like!
3) Walking down Artist alley and seeing the stark similarities of an Artist and a Muso. A Muso has 1 hour (gig time) to sell her wares and convince CD sales. An Artist has, in this case, 2 days….but still the process is long and sorry when the going is not so good. Then a good review and a pat on the back makes the last 20 empty hours worth it….
4) Hanging out with Queenie Chan (the Dreaming) and Sonny Straits (Voice Talent from Dragonball Z “Krillin”) . Conversations reveal that majors in the entertainment field exploit their artists in the same way as the music industry. why does “Sell your soul for free” sound so familiar?
5) Once again meeting friends at CONFLUX and and attempting the uncomfortable walk of “flyer runs”for Conflux, Queenie Chan and myself. Mostly my technology has been “shove flyer at human” and run…sometimes I whisper Neil Gaiman’s or Warren Ellis’ or “The Dreaming” into unsuspecting human ears as I run madly away…
you know…just for effect. I don’t think I know what I’m doing.
6) Then there was an artist gathering of 7 people which ballooned into an army of 27. Because I said…”EVERYONE…Bring EVERYONE!!!” T’was all good though. I now know I’m only 1 degree difference away from Michael Turner from Aspen Comics. (Remember Witchblade or better yet…Fathom?
…Allow me my SQUEEEEEEEEEEE moment as Spidey shares a table with the guys from Aspen comics)
7) Then of course, watching my wallet being pulverised in the wake of So-hooo-hoooooooo many good things. If there are humans out there that like “same difference” by Derek Kirk. The kind that shoves painfully realities blunt end first into your eyes and can still make you laugh….try David Tang He’s stinkingly good.
Other purchases of note included Ghost in the Shell Box set, Bone and Jason Rand’s Small Gods.
I think I should be going…more drool and dribbles later.
How’ s everyone else doing?
I hate applying for grants. Most of the time it involves getting into someone’s headspace without a sledgehammer.
I saw this movie once where a bunch of guys robbed a bank, came out with wads of money and gave a huge portion of it to the customers of the bank..including their employees at the cash register…as hush money.
It’s looking like a great plan. does anyone know the name of that movie? I need it for research purposes.
Beats writing grants.
What’s everyone else doing?
Just returned from Supanova. Met craploads of people., Partied more than I should.
I want to talk about epiphanies and observations and thank random people. But for now …sleep sounds good. I’m seeing supermen on Cupid’s wings. Not just one but swarms of them…
Not a good sign…beddie bye for now. I promise to be back and do something about the forums. any scientists out there with the latest up date of human cloning developments? Please contact me, I’ll be your lab rat, I need more Yunyu-s…
So there…buzz off. I’ll plead your audience later.

It is with a SQUEEEEE that I announce “You are Expendable”‘s addition to The Closet Geek Show.
The Closet Geek Show, hosted by Brent Morris, gives a “geek talk” about something obscure and interesting researched in the dark recesses of the web. Every week showcases a cool new podcast to listen to and any great websites Brent’s seen in the past week
It’s also a music show that showcases music for the intelligent.
—In short…This cool podcast is like yellowpages for Smarties Pantses..
It’s supanova time! I’m going into SUPANOVA armed with flyers and kidnapping unsuspecting Humans for my gig. So if you want to say Hi, come on down.
Ahhh…the life of an indie artist. Something tells me that I’m going to look back at this one day and Cackle my spidery head off!
———————-Just finished Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman and feeling a wierd sense of kinship with the spiders.
Now reading the foreword of Bad Signal #2. Reading the bit where Warren Ellis just threatened “to Pee” on those who didn’t buy Bad Signal #1. If he’s selling heaps comics by threatening his minions with Pee and it’s working…. I’m just going to have to re-think my promo strategies for my music————————-
Lot’s to catch up on and much to plan for the new year. I always seem to get some phony sort of anxiety attack this time of the year. Sometimes I believe in sitting down by some water source and reflecting by my evils of the year. It used to be the beach but…
The beaches here seem toxic and crowded compared to Perth. Bah!
Mom’s just visited. Dreary news from home include the ill health of my grandmother (dad’s mom) . Not close to her.Still, a hint of sadness. I don’t know why. Maybe because dad is sad and I am reminded of mortality. That I should be around my parents more.
Occasionally, I get asked when I’m going home. i.e Singapore, i.e for good. The answer is no, I guess, for the foreseeable future. It’s not like I hate the place, nope, there remains a degree of reverence. The sort you have for an estranged parent. — you love them…but you know they give you ulcers….and vice versa.
Home, it’s a strange word as this point I guess. Guess it doesn’t always have to be the place you were born, but a place that bears your dreams, your thoughts your life. Guess home doesn’t quite feel like home when you feel that what you are about gets picked apart bone by bone, soul by soul and destroyed. Then again, understand that I don’t hate my hometown, All I have is an understanding that, perhaps at this point in my life, living in that place is just not going to do it for me and vice versa.
Guess the only catch is that I’m leaving my family there and having to watch my little brother grow up from a distance. I do miss home but if I return I know I stop living.
A little ponderous we get sometimes.
