Embrace Monday: Illustrations Of Brooding And Desolate Places

daniel-danger03How’s that for a downer of a post for this bright and beautiful Monday morning? “Illustrations of Brooding and Desolate Places” – all that’s missing is a picture of the cubicle farm you’re sitting in as you read this.

I’m posting this because maybe escaping Monday isn’t the best solution. Maybe the best solution is tackling that fucker head on; if Monday is all about brooding and desolation then BRING IT.

After the illustrations you’re about to see by Daniel Danger, your Monday is going to be mother flippin CHEERY in comparison.

To be honest though, looking at these pictures brings back a line that I always loved from the Nirvana song “Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle”: I miss the comfort in being sad.

“Enjoy”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And because it’s not always doom and gloom there’s this one which, if you’re an optimist, depicts a girl / woman rising above her situation and literally flying away.

I won’t go into what’s happening in this photo if you’re a pessimist…

 

 

Feeling better?

Face-meltThe weekend is just around the corner yo, so I thought I’d throw together a playlist of some of my favourite tracks to get your blood boiling.

It’s a crazy mix of a lot of stuff from the naughties that you might not have heard before. Nine Black Alps anyone? Scars On Broadway? Ida Maria?

If you haven’t heard any of those bands you need to hear this playlist. Of course I threw in a couple of greats like the Pixies and the Pumpkins in there for good measure too 😉

Gonna try make this a more regular thing, it’s like SlickTiger Radio, just put your headphones on and get ready to mop your face up off the floor.

 

Weekend Face-Melters from SlickTiger on 8tracks.

 

Have a killer weekend Party People Winking smile

Album Review: Wavves – King Of The Beach

Picture a random house party when everyone’s sitting around at 3 in the morning and the guy who’s spent the last hour drinking tequila straight out of the bottle picks up a guitar and starts trying to jam.

Now put that guy on stage in front of hundreds of ticked off fans and you’ve got a situation much like the one that happened last year when Wavves played their most notorious gig to date,  the Barcelona Primavera Sound Festival.

 

 

Nathan Williams (frontman, singer and guitarist for the low-fi stoner rock band Wavves) ingested a cocktail of Ecstasy, Valium and Xanax before taking to the stage at Primavera last year and behaved like a giant asshole kid which, at the tender age of 23, is exactly what he was.

Well, good news is Williams is 24 now and has put such childish things as his highly publicised and cringe-worthy meltdown behind him to surge forward with Wavves third album, King Of The Beach.

Read the whole enchilada here…
