I tried this with the thumbnail that was on the article when it was in the Upcoming line, and the colors were in fact different, but then I clicked through to the article. I thought someone was trying to fool me for a second.
Love it! This is very similar in theme to an altered art project I'm doing. I'm adding fast food wrappers and other signs of unhealthy eating to this Norman Rockwell print: http://imagecache.allposters.com/images/pic/HAD/2691~Fondly-Do-We-Remember-Posters.jpg
More good music trivia! What fun! Speaking of the Violent Femmes...can we add them to my wish list of bands to feature in this very awesome new reoccurring music feature you guys are doing? Who doesn't love those guys???
My husband proposed to me on a bridge in Portland, OR. Said afterward that he wasn't afraid that I'd say no (rightly so), but he was terrified that he'd drop the ring (thankfully he didn't). Glad this story had a nice ending too.
Oh my gosh. Last week B-52's and this week it's the Melvins??? Neatorama, will you marry me?
I love the Melvins, but my husband is a SERIOUS Melvins fan. They truly are HUGELY talented. The teaming up of Jared and Coady from Big Business with the Melvins is genius. The two drummer thing has been done before, but never this well. Dale Crover is one of the best drummers in the entire history of the world and Coady is right up there with him.
A few more bits of trivia:
Buzz' wife, Mackie, is a well-known artist and has done most of their cover art and the art of many other bands Tool, Rancid, Offspring, Bad Religion, and so many more). She also created the Social Distortion skeleton logo! Here's her website: http://www.mackieosborne.com/
Their band meetings are often at Disneyland.
Jared usually wears really cheesy truck stop t-shirts on stage (like this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2122/1508770279_3798cb17d4.jpg?v=0)
Buzz (A.K.A. King Buzzo) is really, really opinionated. And a Dodgers fan.
Big Business also rock really hard all by themselves. Check it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7YEE_muCxs
Their last album (Nude With Boots) kicked so much butt and you should totally check it out.
The last time I heard them live it was so loud that for a hours afterward it sounded like everyone was lisping. It was the weirdest thing.
Dus: so sour! I have to admit, this is definitely one of the less funny of the comics, but come on...how can you declare THIS unfunny: http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20081123.gif or THIS: http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1234
Good riddance to bad rubbish. He's burning in hell for all that partially hydrogenated oil he shilled for so many years. He leaves a legacy of poor health. I spit on your grave, Doughboy!
