Yellow Cake !!

And done !!

I know it gets really hot in there but safety must not be sacrificed for comfort !! Clear guidelines have been previously discussed !! This is definitely not acceptable behaviour !!

Well ... This one's done ! However , while finishing this purty new piece ... I decided to start a sister piece !! That's right ... 2 ! Now ... I have a bit of a schedule on this little fission project of mine with the Gallery group show on the 9th and all ! But I think I can make it !! Let's see how that goes !!! Until then , off to the frame wizard !!!

Hope ya like !


Stay safe out there and remember , safety first !!!

NEW IRON MONKEY FOOTAGE




New footage just surfaced up on youtube from the Dynamo show in Holland. I got this footage in a bootleg dvd a few months ago and tried ripping it but didnt have the right program for it. I guess someone figured it out, unfortunately they didnt include all the songs on the bootleg...hopefully they up them. This footage is toward the end of Iron Monkey's reign.

RIP MORROW.

Somehow Bad Year Media has come this far without a Misfits post. Considering it will be turning October this week, Misfits are the perfect elixir for the shitty summer weather hopefully ending soon.

Sleepy tide...

After a long day of running around ... Hit by the sleepy tide !!
Was trying to make a big photo post for you guys for today's blog action but I'm afraid I'm falling asleep quite rapidly !!

True story !!

So ... If you don't mind , I'm just gonna go and crash and I'll Plog ya tomorrow when I'm a bit more awake !!

ENTRANCE - THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN...


The Entrance band (aka Guy Blakeslee) play psychedelic folk/blues. Will post all his stuff this week. You won't be disappointed unless you have a dick(s) in your ear(s). This is the first full-length that came out in 2003 on Tiger Style Records. Features songs that appear later on Prayer of Death as well as a nice rendition of "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" by Bob Dylan. Sorry for the terrible quality of the cover art. All I could find.

P.S. go see Entrance this Friday @ Johnny Brenda's with Amazing Baby and Will's band, The Love Club.

Tomorrow's an office day !! That's right ... But not just any kind of office day ... Nope ... It's international DOOM day at the conspiracy ! Drop by for a coffee , for a chat or just to be heavy with the rest of the cool kids !!!

Bob Dylan- Blonde on Blonde (1966) & Blood on the Tracks (1975)


link


link

My two personal favorites by the most timeless lyricist of every generation.

Blonde on Blonde was considered the first true significant double LP in rock and roll music, and is always at least in the top 10 in most/all major music critics top records of all time lists. B.O.B. has the Highway 61 Revisited-esque blues sound, but more refined and with much more surreal lyrics. Its also the last record Dylan recorded before his motorcycle accident that significantly changed his singing/songwriting forever.

Blood on the Tracks was Dylan's first studio album since Blonde on Blonde that received mass praise from critics and fans. To this day he claims his lyrics were never autobiographical, but the heart wrenching songs on this album that revolve around heartache, anger, and loneliness seem to tell all too well a tale of loves lost that we can all relate to, whether Bob was speaking from personal anguish or not.

DARK CASTLE - SPIRITED MIGRATION


Buy it

Awesome doom duo from Florida. Caught 'em in North Philly not too long ago with Deathbeds. This new release, out on At A Loss Recordings (Baroness, Black Cobra, Minsk), is light years ahead of the EP they had out at that time. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for this guy and girl, they will be hovering in everyone's subconscious within the next year.

Doom Friday !!

That's right , ladies and gentlemen ... This Friday , at the Conspiracy , will be international doom day !!!

From 2 till late ... All the Grudge , doom , stoner metal you can handle ... All day long !!!

Make sure you don't miss such an epic event and don't forget your balls at home !! It'll be heavy !




See ya then !

Entrails of the beast !

By popular demand ...

Words of wisdom ...

There was a young girl called Ann Hauser
Who swore that no man could ever surprise her.
But Pabst took a chance,
Found a Schlitz in her pants,
and now she is sadder Budweiser !



True story !!


Just writing at the pub tonight ... Yes , like the writers used to do back in the day !! My laptop and a few pints of stout makes me write when all else fails !!


More tomorrow ... With some pictures or something to look at , at the very least , I promise !


Good night out there !

VLAD TEPES - March to the Black Holocaust



More French Black Metal via 1995. This band was part of the Black Legion. Lo-fi and sketchy, just how I like it.

It happens !

A big long day of ... Well ... Not much !

Off to the movies in a minute ! Yep ! You guessed it !! Am going for District 9 again ! This time with Allanski and Yellow pants !! I really tried to not hype it up too much for those two but ... I think I failed !! Oh well !! I know I'll enjoy it !

All day today , I pretty much did some local coffee shop hang-out and then tried to scribble something on a corner of my factory desk ! Yep ! Hopefully ... Tomorrow will be a tad bit more productive ! They say you need days like that ! I just can't stand the productive stagnation !! I guess I'm just crazy ! That's ok though ! I'm fine with it ! No really !

Tomorrow ... Some super spook briefing at station A ! I mist a few while on the road and well the regular update podcasts and direct news feeds are never as good as the official thing (it's the coffee) ! And then ... Maybe a bit of writing at my new favourite bar (Number 3 on the list) !! I'll take a few shots for ya !!

Have a sweet weekend , you guys !!!

Pimpin' the chicken !

Friday at the office !!

Another oldie dropped by today ! And between a few delicious home made chocolate muffins , we re-nipped and continued this 2007 classic !! More colours , more better and all over ! We were going for the gold and were gonna finish it today , but fate had other plans , unfortunately ! We finish it next time buddy ... No problemo !



Here's what it all looked like at the end of a day's work >>>>

Magic radioactive voodoo magic green indeed !!

Tomorrow's a no work day , so I'll be busy working all day right back behind my book making office at the factory !! Might even start some of that painting action for the new G G Gallery !!

Plog ya tomorrow with some new Electric-Padventures ! Until then ... Stay safe out there !!

In a day's work !

Everybody showed up today !!

And that's just perfect !! Today's tattoo day was all about some touch-ups on a piece done in 06 at the Boston convention ! Ended-up re-nipping the whole thing in about an hour and a half so ... Yeah ... Not the biggest work day ever !! However , I got to see an old favourite of yours again and all healed-up wonderfully ! Stuff that comes back many years later and still looks the same as when you did it is absolutely wonderful !! It's like a nice "good work" tap on the back ! And then ... Another all healed up perfectly piece dropped by for some pictures !!! So ... With no more introduction ... Here's all of it in 3D super live vision for your viewing delights !!!

Forgive the not very good shot of the freshly touched-up lion there ... You know how it is !!

More tattoo action at the office tomorrow !!

We started the colour today and gave it about 4 hours worth !! These colours are a blast !! Dirty brown-orange-peach framed by some purply shadows is fuckin' rockin' !! So yeah ! More on this one in November ! More tat-magic tomorrow , as I continue this triple date week !!

And starting Saturday ... Right back at the factory , right back on the book + loads of new big paintings to do for the new gallery !! Got to try to impress them a bit ! It's actually nice to have someone make you work and push ya to produce !!

Until then ... Stay fresh Plog-buddies !

Funt Cart !

Early morning edition !!

She fallen and she can't get up !

That's right !! It's the crack of 2 and here's a quick post with some interesting news !!!

Have just started work on a bunch of new bigger pieces and the kick in the butt needed to get started on these pieces comes from the fact that I might (Might) start working with a gallery again ! They found me actually and well , there's nothing like a gallery hunting you down to work with them to push your drive and make ya work !!! So ... Good for me ! And good for everybody out there who likes to see my fancy doodles !! Just had to share !

More about that and other adventures in the weeks to come !! Until then ... Today's a tat day ... So post ya later tonight with some of that tat-action I like to indulge in , once in a while ! You bet !!
