I doubt I'll ever buy many more things that deserve burning,, perhaps I can persuade other people to burn their bad comics,, but I wouldnt be surprised if there was a nasty backlash from crazed fanboys,, it could happen.<br /><br /> I forgotten to answer about that Nexion thing. No, I've never been in contact with those guys, I seen some in a music shop and i've never been into that style of underground comix,, they usually seem to be a community thing where people laugh about common experiences while smoking weed,, if it were more ambitious I might have been interested,, I dont want to knock them too much, there's nothing really wrong with it. <br /> I dont actually know any artists from around the UK. Apart from some emails here and there,, there has been no contuinal contact or anything. Sometimes I wonder if there are actually any like-minded artists around me,, I'd certainly like to meet some talented people.Robert Adam Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030109275684859704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37678750.post-41667560594955808322009-09-05T16:57:21.735-07:002009-09-05T16:57:21.735-07:00favorite, bloodspattered

Which kind of proves your point.

Hardcovers take hours to burn and I nearly fell into the muck and water stream. I dont have any filming equipment either. <br /><br /> I like the term Militantly Reasonable because it sounds funny, my aforementioned buddy Paul laughed when I first used it.<br /><br /> I was actually going to mention that Mars Volta thing but I wondered if you would have brought this up,, funny thing is that I already loved their song Roulette Dares, I suppose I was really just going along with the opinion of some people I knew at the time,, which totally went against the point I was making in that post,, silly me! I'd be interested to find out how I felt about the vocals after lisetning to them properly,, but there is always the chance that once you get past the "annoyed stage" you may find the vocals boring and uneffective,, I think Muse are an okay band,, but Bellamy is often called annoying and I think that once you get used to his over the top vocals of certain songs, they can be more boring than thrilling. But I find that eccentric voices are usually very rewarding.<br /><br /> I'll probably get that first Mars Volta album at some point. I've actually got loads of really fucking great Prog music to post.Robert Adam Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030109275684859704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37678750.post-44324281407988767812009-09-05T15:33:34.331-07:002009-09-05T15:33:34.331-07:00...oh yeah and that Watchmen merchandise is totall......oh yeah and that Watchmen merchandise is totally ridiculous.Human Molluskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276070138056162278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37678750.post-54855899341757166052009-09-05T15:27:31.666-07:002009-09-05T15:27:31.666-07:00So many typos!

That would have been awesome. Next time you do something like that please post a clip of it on the blog. You would make your point more effectively (and more credibly), plus we would get shitloads of hits from that.<br />Anyway, I don't know if I would use the word militant in connection with reason, since it suggests an aggressiveness that is actually the opposite of being reasonable. Maybe radical would be better. Dunno.<br /><br />I remember I mentioned The Mars Volta once in a comment on your "Prog" post, and you replied you din't like them becaus you find the singers voice annoying. Have you given them another try?Human Molluskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276070138056162278noreply@blogger.com
