On June 24, 1997 ... "So-called space aliens who supposedly crashed in the New Mexico desert 50 years ago were only military dummies used in high-altitude parachute drops, the Air Force said at a news conference Tuesday." -- CNN And so, I decided to put up some space related tracks today to honor the day in history.

You're Gonna Miss Me: A Film About Roky Erickson Those of you (like me) in the NYC area who missed your chance to see Roky Erickson at a couple of recent shows can still check out this documentary dvd from Palm Pictures .

Before I got on the mp3 blogging kick, there was a brief period of time where I contemplated joining the ranks of the comics blogosphere. Inspired by some of the cool folks I met while posting lame quips in response to Fanboy Rampage posts, I got the entirely misguided impression that I, too, could set up and maintain a comics-themed blog.
