Status Quo Sunday Prepares FOR SUPER GEEKERY

NEW SONG CONFIRMED: "Protocols Ordering the New Youth (P.O.N.Y.)"

If want to hear it this, let's say... Thursday... AND in tasty mp3 form, before I post it up for next week's Status Quo Sunday, sign up for the mailing list!

For a little taste, watch HotDiggedyDemon's PONY.MOV series:


Florida stopped being lame for one weekend and decided to have it self a SUPER GEEK WEEKEND

My weekend is going to be spent at the Past Present Future Comics in Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, between Friday Night Magic, the 30th Anniversary Party and Theros Game Day. So yeah, I'm going to need a sleeping bag, a new Magic Deck and more business cards. So while this week's Podcast Recap will be very light, considering Echo Chamber was a two-man cast this week and no Drive Back Home (I saw Anthony Jeselnik instead of going to FNM), you'll get two episodes of Drive Back Home.

Still, no matter how busy my schedule is, I remain ever the Taskmaster to bring you all sweet jams and the latest news. 

As for the album, more lyric penning, waiting to hear on feedback.

In other news, an alternative look at Man Of Steel for prosterity (a.k.a. cleaning up my archives)
On that note, I think Bizarro, while maybe not a good villain to carry a movie, could be a tragic and beautiful piece of plot for a Supes movie. Someone (maybe Luthor, yawn) attempts to clone a Superman they can control, or maybe reverse engineer Superman-like abilities with a few drops of his blood. They want to use it to discredit the original Supes and turn public opinion against him. Bizarro ends up breaking loose and rampaging.

Don't make him evil, make him really dishearteningly broken in the head. He just keeps trying to "help" and "do the right thing," but he gets it all wrong because he's mentally deficient. Think Lenny trying to pet the rabbits. The plot arc culminates in Superman realizing that no amount of interposing will ever stop Bizarro from trying to do the right thing, just as no amount of interference would ever stop Superman from trying to do the right thing. We see Superman crying as he has to beat the life out of Bizarro, who doesn't understand what he's done. Superman doesn't want to do it, but it's a burden he has to bear in order to make the world safer. Supes has a period of reflection on whether he's any different, or if he's getting in the way of humanity moving itself forward by coddling it so much. He decides that he has to follow Bizarro's example and keep trying to do right, no matter what, and goes to take on the big bad guy that was responsible for/controlling Bizarro with a new sense of anger and purpose.

Or something. Whatever. You get the idea.
