Apparently Excel Saga volume 2o is out in Japan. Really. Wow. This might mean that in 2009 we'll get three volumes in the year. If another volume hits by the end of the year, maybe 4 volumes! Either way I still have to wait until December for volume 18.

Also, I'm part of the coolest club ever.

That covers rap, industrial, punk, blues, Japanese anime music(pop, blues, jazz) and metal. On another note, GSC takes place in Chi-town and KMFDM, Sister Machine Gun, and TKK were all members of legendary electro label Wax Trax! which was based out of Chicago. Also cool to get some car songs on there since the lovely Rally Vincent and dangerous Bean Bandit love their cars.

Here's a link to a previous list of comic book soundtracks including Seven Soldiers, 52 and some some various DC mega events. I'll post some other ones later.

Comic Book Soundtracks

In my last entry I explained I like making comic book soundtracks. Here's my favorites of the ones I've made. I'm a bit of an industrial/underground fan so you'll notice bands you might not know. Or the repeat of some of my fav bands.

First up, the first one I made and my favorite. Which, incidentally, lead me to make several others to follow through(including one to a comic I wasn't too into after the first half) but I stopped right after a certain point. The point was after 52. I guess I can post them all.

I like the book less now then at the time, but still enjoy it. I broke it up by chapters, which I tend to do sometimes. This was my first comic book soundtrack and still one of my favorites.

I also have mixtapes to Avatar Seasons 1-2(which are good), Invisibles, Runaways, Teenagers From Mars and... er... oh, the Vertigo series Losers which is less flow and more action/political. As you can tell I use the same bands a few times and thats because I have lots of albums by those bands. Or their music has just the right "comic book superhero flair" to fit fight scenes or moods. Well, that's it, later.
