The internet keeps throwing up many great, unusual sites which contain more weirdness than I thought possible. This is from Black and WTF

Chris Judge

I was a big enough fan to commission a piece by him before, but am constantly surprised by how much of his work crops up all over the place. Lately he’s produced the imagery for the finest purveyor of burritos in Dublin, Pablo Picante.

Check out more of Mr. Judge’s work here.

More Webcomic terror

It’s weird to find something new you really like and then discover thousands of people around the world already love it and have been following it from day one. “Red Meat” is the first web comic I ever followed as recommended to me many years ago by someone with better taste than I.

Webcomic heaven

I’ve been reading Questionable Content now for 2 days straight. Last night it made me regret I have no piece of hardware with which to read the web in bed. Today it fills me with joy, like some kind of “indie” soap opera filled with empathy and insight.

Written by J. Jacques it really is a wonderful piece of writing. Every character in it is complete, well-developed and endearing and humour is top class. Start at the beginning:

Many thanks to Twistedlilkitty on Twitter for pointing this one out.

The best way to cover a song

Really the best way to do it is by making it your own. To cover is not to copy. Here are my favourites as an example:

Original: Black Sabbath – Sabbath Bloody Sabbath:

Cover: Cardigans – Sabbath Bloody Sabbath:

then the other extreme:

Original: Bjork – Isobel

Cover: Carcass – Isobel (requested by the lady herself)

Great stuff. However, some may be more extreme again. Only certain ears may find this enjoyable:

Gorefest – Autobahn
