For everything related to music – chiptunes, fakebit, comedy music and the like.
A few weeks back, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a review copy of Soul Veggies, the collaborative album from rappers Random (AKA Mega Ran) and Storyville. Since then, the album has been my constant companion whenever I’ve had the option of listening to music.
One of my all-time favorite authors is Stephen King. I think it’s fair to say that I grew up reading his books.
At some point as a teenager, I was given the first Dark Tower book: “The Gunslinger”. While initially annoyed at the rather small book, it lead me deeper into the Stephen King universe of books.
The Dark Tower may be one of my favorite series of books as well; the setting, the characters and pervasive sense of everything being connected really resonated with me.
All that said, I was just browsing Kickstarter earlier, and stumbled upon this Kickstarter: “Nineteen” by SpellBlast. I had not heard of SpellBlast before, but decided to check them out on Youtube. The band’s sound is right up my alley, and the idea of metal music based on The Dark Tower was just too tempting to let go.
Give the band a listen, especially if you’re a fan of The Dark Tower.
All I can say apart from that is, I hope they reach their Kickstarter – and check out that gorgeous artwork by Roberta Cavalleri!
While listening to the 415th episode of the Nerdist Podcast (featuring Tenacious D as guests), I learned of a new festival created by Tenacious D:
The Festival Supreme!
The poster for the Festival Supreme, featuring the lineup for the Festival!
As far as I can tell, this is a one-day festival. It will have three or four (in the Nerdist episode, Jack Black said four, but the website says three) tents, with room both for stand-up acts and for musical acts. The Festival Supreme will happen on October 19th at the Santa Monica Pier.
The Festival has partnered up with IFC to bring a “Supreme Comedy Week” leading up to the date of the actual Festival.
The lineup will feature both comedy legends such as The Mr. Show Experience and Eric Idle, as well as musical comedy all-stars such as Tim Minchin and Garfunkel & Oates!
Tickets are ( /were?) available from Ticketmaster (either standard or VIP), but it seems they are either not available online any more, or perhaps sold out.
All I can say from way over here in Europe is, I hope the Festival will be a success, and a DVD/Blu-Ray will be made so those of us who do not have the option of going in person will be able to experience the Festival Supreme from afar!
If you want to learn more about the Festival Supreme, I suggest you go check out their website.
This kind of TikTok just hits that part of my brain that makes me giggle uncontrollably and get incredibly happy 😂 vm.tiktok.com/ZMYCw8PpA/
Getting older has skewed me farther left, if anything! twitter.com/kennedytcooper…

I spent too much time worrying about my son’s sunscreen and not enough on my own… My head and neck are *very* red now 🤪
It’s 29 celsius here, and I’ve got an iced coffee. Doesn’t get much better than that 🤩
This tasted surprisingly like the real thing 😅
You’re tearing me APART, Big Shark!
Insert Paradise Killer soundtrack ✨here ✨
