I feel like a good little alternative boy this week...I discovered 2 spiffy things lately.
The first thing is a web-comic, Nice Hair, starring:
Neil - a writer from England. What part of England he won't say. Due to his inability to colour co-ordinate his wardrobe, he wears all black and is mystified as to why this endears him to the goth kids.
...and his roommates...
Tim - an American filmmaker. He likes Hawaiin shirts and Edward Gorey, and it's rumoured rats nest in his hair. He seems to have some sort of freakish relationship with Danny. and...
Fat Bob - an English singer.songwriter, who is (as his name implies) fat. It's unclear whether his obesity is caused by his depression, or his depression caused by his obesity. He cannot put on lipstick properly, leading us to suspect he has cerebral palsey.
Occasionaly popping up are:
Uncle Andy - An enigmatic Englishman with the air of a royal god. Or rather, the snotty attitude of one who thinks he's a god.
Danny - A musician. and...
Jack - a seemingly-gay pirate who lives under Tim's bed, as revenge for the "scissor incident"
Everyone take 5 minutes and figure out who these people are...any one at all versed in goth culture can pick out at least 4.
The second neat-o thingie I found is a band (and I promise I won't take as long to describe it), Machinae Supremacy. A Swedish rock band, heavily inspired by video games. H.I.M. and Fear Factory (and maybe some Dream Theater) go into an apartment, play NES and Genesis for a year straight, and they'll come out with Machinae Supremacy. They're working on an album, but until then, about an hour and a half of their songs are available for download on their site in mp3 and (yay!) ogg vorbis. Anyone who likes video games, and hard rock, go listen now.
