After I saw Kraftwerk last week at the Museum of Modern Art I found myself wishing that I could see a similar sort of survey show for Can. This is pretty much impossible at this point - guitarist Michael Karoli died in 2001, and it’s hard to imagine that Jaki…
KRAMER: Hey Frank, you got two beds in here.
FRANK: That’s right. That’s me on the left.
KRAMER: So, you sleep in separate beds.
FRANK: Thirty years ago, we came to an agreement. It was the only way I could get some rest.
KRAMER: (intrigued) Really?
FRANK: (confidential) Estelle’s got the (jerks his elbow) jimmy arms.
KRAMER: You can get that in your arms?
FRANK: Like you wouldn’t believe.(via The Money)
Nothing to add really, except that indications are that this will be EVEN BETTER than the excellent volume 1!
My friend Dan’s second HP Lovecraft anthology comic is out today!
I’ve always found Lovecraft’s stories fascinating but the prose has always been a little too chewy for my taste so I’ve only read a small bits of his writing. The Self Made Hero comics (both the anthology vol. 1 and Ian Culbards Mountains of Madness) resolve this by tightening up the story telling and replacing the purple descriptions with lovely pictures.
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on this new one. The list of contributors is great both on the art side and the writing side. As a recovering 2000AD addict the promise of Mick McMahon and Pat Mills in the same volume is by itself pretty much irresistible.
So yeah, buy it!

I bought this rather lovely copy of Nabokov’s Bend Sinister for £1.99 in Oxfam, Walthamstow.
