An oldie but the. . .best. .ever. A bit of a supergroup with Del tha Funkee Homosapien on the mic, Dan the Automator and Kid Koala producing, and some incredible names featured on some tracks. (Damon motha fucking Albarn!) This is one that I have listened to for years without realizing what I was really listening too oddly enough, as this album is full of classics. (Positive Contact has made its way around the mediosphere) I had never actually put it together that this stuff may actually be part of an album, and I definitely had know idea that they had done some tracks with Damon Albarn. Time Keeps on Slipping (feat. Albarn), Virus, 3030 (title track), and Mastermind may easily go down on the list I compile right before I die of Songs of Most Good Listening Properties:

Something about this album is just special, in my mind at least, Del spitting about the weird ass future, technology, with Automator and Koala making a perfect blend of strange, eerie, and truly unique beats to reflect Del’s unmistakable rising and falling style. We are talking scratching over orchestra’s, theramin’s, and very interesting samples, just enjoy the damn songs. And as far as the lyrical content goes, this is quite easily the best of Del. I love it when a group or mc sits down and develops a true theme for an album (no money, rims, etc. aren’t really themes) that is actually interesting. I am sorry Kanye, but as interesting and glorious your life may be, it doesn’t have anything on the year 3030.

Update: DEL IS ON BANDCAMP! Check out the whole album:

What is the “and hope!” about? Well rumor has it that these fellars are busy working on a 2nd installment entitled Deltron Event II. Take your time, and bring another group of amazing friends.

Sarah de Gaudemar (aka Sarah Meyer) pays a visit to the KCAI animation department to discuss the work she had done on the latest stop-motion epic from Laika, Inc. A little film called Coraline.

Sarah talked about working under the scrutiny of the one and only Henry Selick and her specific roles on the project. Her main responsibility was the cat character, along with other characters that would appear in these scenes, as well as multiple other bits and pieces, such as Coraline hand close-ups, tests and development for things like bed covers, Coraline’s toys, etc.

Everyone is always excited to have Sarah visit because she is just a die hard animator, she knows what people that share her interest want to see so every time she visits everyone’s motivation level shoots up a notch. Thanks again for taking the time to stop by Sarah!

The most absolutely honest interview/discussion I have ever seen on network television. Not only does Stewart have a very important agenda, Jim Cramer seems to have some actual sense. I was amazed to see a huge news figure like Cramer sit down and really listen to what Jon is saying.

This is what we should see on every news network everyday. Not necessarily discussing the sham that is Network News, but disussing issues and ideals in a serious way.

Check out and vote for Maintaining Bohemia written by Harold Sipe and the one and only Buster Moody. It is currently part of a Zuda Comics March competition. Which ever one wins will actually be paid to create a monthly series.

I don’t know about you chumpsters, but I don’t think there is much of a contest here. Not only is this little gem much better written than others, B-moods sense of sequencing and drawing style fits it perfectly with Harold’s writing. It really goes beyond feeling like something one guy wrote and another guy did the drawings for. It just works so well as a complete idea, making it easy for all (even for people obsessed with drawing or writing individually) to enjoy.
