Too tired to really get into much else that is going on. A lot of work behind the scenes as always. Thank you all for your continued interest & support.

Kwok Talk had a little review of some of our mini-comics.
Our Facebook page was recently taken down because it was for a business, so I needed to make a new one here.
Plumerai has a new video for “Kill My Way Outta Here.”
Akashic books is set to release “Las Vegas Noir” next month. There is a posthumous short story in it by John O’Brien (Leaving Las Vegas, The Assault on Tony’s). Erin O’Brien also wrote a feature for the Cleveland Free Times about John’s entire posthumous body of work, which gives it a unique perspective.
So the other day I got my rejection letter from my local PBS station that they couldn’t use my cartoons for their local film maker series. Normally I wouldn’t mind, but it said they were only able to use 23 of 56 entries. Which means I’m basically not in the top half. Biggest let down since Cartoon Network broke their contract with me. I don’t know, maybe I accidentally sent them some with swear words….
Well, we got some free music for you this time out, plus we wanted to tell you about this cool comic called Garfield without Garfield recommended by Martin of Plumerai.

Working hard on getting the new QRD together. It looks like the interviews will be with Jessica Bailiff, Plumerai, Aarktica, mwvm, Origami Arktika, Wire, & Colin Newman. Hopefully it’ll be up in a week or so. I’m kind of looking for a little slogan for a QRD sticker if anyone has any ideas. Something about music interviews should probably be in it.
Been talking to Kimberlee Traub who did Worms about another comic collaboration. Some time in 2008 it’ll probably happen. Maybe the series that didn’t make it in Small Press Idol last year called (r)evolution.

Hope everyone’s 2008 is starting out well. I’m running a little behind my goals as always, too much to do in too little time.
The mwvm Ambient Ping Things Almost Live Radio Session is now permanently up & of course it’s free to listen to.
Origami Arktika just did an interview with Chris Dahlberg for Cosmos
Gaming.
Always running slow on the updates lately, sorry about that….
The mwvm remix EP is essentially complete. We should have it available to
you all for free download by the end of December.
Vlor‘s new album (six-winged) is under construction.
Remora‘s new disc Mecha is scheduled to come out on the Italian label Centre
of Wood in February.
New issues of xo & Lost Kisses are available. Watch xo #3 here
or on YouTube & Lost Kisses #5 here or on YouTube.
Hey
Maybe some of you have already noticed, but the US dollar is sinking like a rock & the changes don’t yet reflect our prices. So at $14 including international shipping, discs are right around half what you might be used to paying for a cd. So check out our catalog.
