The thirty-first installment of my "Nerding Out With Nick Dean" column ran in this past Sunday's edition of The Post-Journal :
As I've mentioned before, one of my favorite books to come out of DC Comics' crop of "New 52" is Animal Man, written by Jeff Lemire with art ...

Frank Yang If you have a look over the last couple weeks of posts, you may notice that I've been to a number of shows lately; certainly the busiest stretch in some months. So when I say that to get me out of the house for a late Sunday night show on the other side of town would require something pretty dang special, I mean it. Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not sure which, The Shop at Parts & Labour was hosting just that. I'd have probably gone if it was just Veronica Falls [...]
![[Video] Animal Man (Fucked Up): "Do You Feed"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3756656_lg.jpg)
Chili chili chili y mas chilli; como bien recordaran, durante el Record Store Day Fucked Up lanzo un material-compilado bien bien interesante y muy chingon que ademas formaria parte fundamental de lo que mas tarde seria su 'opera-rock'; " David Comes To Life ". En este lanzamiento ademas de pintarnos mucho mejor el panorama del lugar donde se desenvuelve la historia, cada uno de los 11 tracks eran bandas ficticias dentro de un mundo ficticio, obviamente Fucked Up esta detras de todos estos tracks y de todas esas bandas como esta a la que decidieron llamar [...]

For this past Record Store Day , Toronto hardcore act Fucked Up released David's Town , an 11-track effort that would flesh out the world to be later explored in the group's rock opera David Comes to Life . Among the LP's tracks was Animal Man's "Do You Feed" , featuring guitarist Ben "Young Governor" Cook on vocals, which now, months later, has a music video ready for consumption. In said clip, Cook and bassist Sandy "Mustard Gas" Miranda walk around their hometown, enjoying the simple things all young hooligans do: going into [...]

Longtime readers of this blog (I used to joke there were two of you, but I think both of them stopped reading a long time ago), may recall I got a little obsessed during the latter part of the run of Lost with the challenges of sequential narrative, which is also sometimes referred to as serialized storytelling. Towards the tail end of this year's TV season, I read a fair amount of commentary on Twitter about the balance between shows with standalone episodes and those that heavily leaned on a serialized [...]

I think Tom Waits could be playing in Edinburgh this week and I would strongly consider missing it. I have already spent a day sleeping it off, but I am still not convinced I have entirely dealt with the damage of Homegame just yet. In fact, I'm pretty sure I haven't. What I have done though is just about pull myself together to the point where I feel emotionally capable of dealing with our excellent lineup at the Bristo Hall tonight: Francois , This is the Kit and Babe . With the [...]

My two goals with Record Store Day 2011 were to get my hands on the limited edition Nirvana EP Hoarmoaning and Fucked Up's David's Town (a companion compilation of fake British bands to go with their upcoming album David Comes to Life ). Despite checking out three record stores, I struck out on both. In the end I settled for the Bouncing Souls Live at Generation Records while J-Fur picked up Adele and a sub pop compilation (also disappointments as she was seeking the Fleet Foxes 7 [...]

Along with readying their rock opera , David Comes to Life , the members of Fucked Up also promised another record. That effort, entitled David's Town , will feature songs from Fucked Up performing as various fictional bands. As previously reported, David Comes to Life centers around a factory worker in the fictional British town of Byrdesdale Spa living during Margaret Thatcher's administration, with David's Town released as context for the main record's back-story. While David's Town won't be available until [...]
