I'm still kind of giddy that one of my favorite screenwriters digs our show and likes hanging out and talking horror with us. John Logan (Penny Dreadful, Skyfall, Rango, etc.) is awesome and is always a blast to chill with. Check it! www.spreaker.com/episode/tast...

Spotted @ericvespe.bsky.social and Wampler in Life of Chuck last night and might both soared and plummeted in the same moment. I'm still chewing on the film well into today. The message of the film, and how our personal experiences change how we perceive art, is spinning around in my head.

@chattfilmfest.org Thanks for being an virtual island getaway in this ocean of madness. You always Rock! I highly recommend anyone needing a week long movie break to join the virtual fest!

I just realized today that in our timeline, we got this guy split into 2 people. villains.fandom.com/wiki/Brigadi...

@chebutykin.bsky.social Did you see this? I hope this goes through!

My wife has a new book out with some cool references to Austin and the goth/industrial scene we were in when we first met. I am really proud of her as a novelist, navigating self-publishing and being all around awesome. www.amazon.com/Closet-Goth-...

If you are going to go against the separation of church and state and put the 10 commandments up in schools, you should first have to grind this up and make your followers drink it.

Just because I love 2000 AD comics doesn't mean I want to live in a 2000 AD comics world.

Is the Gulf of America where we throw all our 401k gains in so they sink to the bottom?

Rewatching/rereading Captain Harlock a corrupt govt/bootlicking politicians/media and dissenters disappeared or executed/ the poor live on scraps abd get poorer, while the preferred party gets richer. Wow science fiction is wild!

Another thing that bugs me about the slide of search engines is I still can't find info on the 2-3 books I've been searching for from my youth. I know they exist, but no keywords seem to work together meaningfully. My only touchstone would be my friend from grade school, but that time is long past.

Astronauts returning from the ISS after several months away.

"A good truck where the panels don't fly off while you are driving."

There are a lot of snakes that should be driven out today, just sayin'

New Merch up on our bandcamp page, just in time for Bandcamp Friday if you want to sport some Mars Metal style!!

This was a super fun discussion, and having John Logan(!) on again was a treat. Not only is he an awesome writer (Penny Dreadful, Rango, Skyfall, Hugo, etc. RULE), but he is also super nice. It is an honor to call him a friend of the crew. www.spreaker.com/episode/the-...

Book release day! In this sequel to Animal Charmer, our midlife magic heroine must harness the power of music to fight against the evil forces that have infiltrated her community choir.🎶 #midlifemagic #fantasybooks #romancefreefantasy

Today is the day to get my Rain's latest book out from Castle Bridge Media. I'm super proud of my Ph.D.-having, novel writing, musical writing/producing, and mega-awesome wife. Check it out!!! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Best wishes to all of you and there are some Rockin new releases in the comments!

Zork The Puppy Destroyer has regularly said he wants to destroy puppies, and has recently spoken at a puppy destroying convention. But will he actually destroy any puppies? Our media think any such fears are an overreaction.

Calling @chebutykin.bsky.social I think you might dig what some cool friends are doing.

Animator friends. If someone wants to get into animation these days, what are your favorite YouTube channels for learning and getting relevant information? I'm trying to help someone who contacted me, and I wanted to make sure I'm covering all the important areas.

Thanks to everyone for Rockin out and being awesome!! Hope your New Year and beyond is amazing!

One of the few things I miss about terrestrial radio is randomly catching rock DJs spinning this one on their shift. youtu.be/CRW2poUfJ34?...

I’m not usually a”slow version of the theme” person, but using the “Top Gun” guitar tone to establish the vibes works better than I imagined. Kudos for that choice Superman trailer team. (There's a lot of other cool stuff in there as well, of course)

I recently experienced a lot of emotions while visiting family in an area where I don't have the best memories of growing up. This unassuming embankment is where I used to stare at the stars when things were tough it spurred the writing of "Never" from the latest @desertsofmars.bsky.social album.

My Mom is clearing out stuff while I’m visiting and she handed me my graduation program. I overestimated all these years. I was valedictorian of a class of 25(!) people. Small town life indeed!

This, but for billionaires.

I watched The Suicide Squad again last night, and then almost started Peacemaker again. I wish these teams were doing JLI, it’s so close to the balance of humor and intrigue. OG JLI is great. I want more stuff like Clock King having an existential crisis in issue #23.

Pay artists a fair rate to do rad work, it’s just the way it should be!

@sleepingvillage.bsky.social Streaks across the sky with an in-depth review that has made it all worth it. Check out what they have to say about “Dead Planet Exodus” and some rad thoughts on “Return from the Void” as well. Thanks for Rockin with us!

An intro/refresher for new folks & fellow artists /creators: I worked as an animator/tech director in games; I dig movies and music My band: desertsofmars.bandcamp.com Podcast with friends: www.spreaker.com/podcast/cast... Comics I co-wrote: www.humanoids.com/book/326 tokyopop.com/collections/...

Digging supporting indie horror. Check it!

Well, we’re negative in our bank account while I wait for the gears of publishing to turn slowly. Want a signed copy of BOWIE? Send me a DM and we’ll work out the details.

We did a cool interview with @kierlajanisse.bsky.social, and it was cool to catch up with a friend and talk cool movie stuff like in the good ol days. Kier-La is an amazingly talented person who does fantastic things. (also @severinfilms.com.web.brid.gy Rocks!) www.spreaker.com/episode/cast...

BTW, if you want to keep up with my band stuff, we're ramping up @desertsofmars.bsky.social It's new, so pardon our rover dust, bands, and music industry accounts over here; you know where to find us. Bringing the red Martian sands the Blue Skies.

Oddly enough, over the past few weeks, I used this song I wrote when I felt like giving up. I told myself, "Don't be a hypocrite; listen to what you wrote here." I don't know if it helps anyone else, but here it is. desertsofmars.bandcamp.com/track/never

Total Recall, but instead of a trip, you get to live in that window between when you wake up from a good dream and before you realize everything that's going on in the real world. I want to spend a little more time there.

A not so gloomy post about gloomy stuff that is fun and cool. Thanks to the Ripple Music blog for this. Hope you dig it as well. Horror, metal, and spooky times abound: ripplemusic.blogspot.com/2024/11/a-fi...

To my fellow dude creatives: The war on women people said wasn’t happening is fucking happening out in the open. The culture war is raging, but WE ARE THE CULTURE. Follow women creatives. Promote women. Produce their work. Hire them for your projects and rooms. Women can’t win this one alone.

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

A little envious at Chance’s obliviousness, but I love that he can enjoy the weather. He’s 17 and almost never sits in the sun like this, so I’m taking a small amount of comfort there.

Chance wanted to wish you all well today. He’s got your back.

I ♥️ it when I come here, and there's all this incredible art from friends, mutuals, & rad artists I follow. It's a bright beacon in the world. Thanks, art peeps! I've only done video animation lately,so here is a relevant song from our latest album in exchange. desertsofmars.bandcamp.com/track/never

I wish all the heaviness today were only in music, but I am bolstered by the fact that Deserts of Mars made the Doom Charts today at number 16. A lot of people worked really hard on this one & put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into it. Thx for the support, everyone! doomcharts.com/2024/11/01/d...

I feel the urge to rewatch Sisu and Indian Jones 1 and 3. I might have to throw Robocop in for good measure.

Other things I did during my Bluesky hiatus: I dusted off my AE/animation skills and put together the lyric videos for the new album. You can watch them in 4k on YouTube. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Art by @sanaart.bsky.social (Temple of the Rain/Crimson Mountain ) & Joshua Dartez (Shilluminati)

Watching unchecked rich people is why I wrote this song, and it has gotten worse since I wrote it. Ugh, for now, at least, we can create and share our feelings about the state of things. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncpo...

I will say that being here reminded me of how much cool art I used to see and how much more chill it is. That's pretty great. Thanks to all my chill art friends and other creators for being rad!
