Waiting Room For Godot ... I love Beckett's "Waiting For Godot"... ... Every time I say the name, I hear Ian MacKaye's voice - and it makes me chuckle. So I spent way too long putting together parts of "Waiting Room" with dialog from Godot. ... #waitingforgodot #samuelbeckett #ianmackaye #comics

Listened to the #articlesofinterest podcast episode which delves into the fashion pages in Archie. ... I was inspired to do a mini fashion page of "my character" (me)... And accompanying mod-goth fashion - labelled as "moth" by @betharzy.bsky.social. What's more self-indulgent than that?

Every artist, get more self indulgent NOW! Draw your ships kissing, draw your blorbos, draw that idea you’ve been putting off (you’re good enough to do it!!!), redraw that old art, draw yourself wearing a cool outfit, draw a better world- just draw!!!

RIP Sam Kieth ... I got to contribute to "Image Grand Disaster" a few years back. Inspired by Cartoonist Kayfabe, I riffed on Piskor's "Hip Hop Family Tree" and told the Image story. Part of doing that was getting to allude to the second wave, and naturally I chose Sam Kieth (1/3)

As if anyone needed MORE reasons to delete Spotify... 😬

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

An amazing recap of another great year of one of the best podcasts anywhere. Check it out, and catch up before the next round of brilliant shows starts dropping in January.

A recap of our 2025 episodes. One big highlight was chatting with Jim Reid and William Reid of @themarychain.bsky.social about their iconic debut album. PSYCHOCANDY was so ahead of its time and it was a thrill to hear all that went into making it. (1/12) lifeoftherecord.com#/the-jesus-a...

Lecture de la fin de semaine, que je recommande. Last weekend read, that I strongly recommend! "UTOWN" par/by @cabfolio.com

Strokes at The Horseshoe (Moldy Peaches opened), Interpol at The Horseshoe, Ryuichi Sakamoto at The Stone (John Zorn's tiny performance space - sat on a folding chair), Philip Glass at Le Poisson Rouge, Franz Ferdinand at Lee's Palace, dancing on stage with Belinda Carlisle at Massey Hall...

What is your biggest concert flex?

Super amped for @wordburglar.bsky.social's new project! And yes, Hot Rod has illustrated a panel in the comic book alongside some insanely talented human comics artists 👀👀👀

WORDBURGLAR RHYMES WITH COMICS #1 Graphic Novel & Soundtrack

An original lyrical comic book anthology of hit Wordburglar songs + soundtrack to rhyme along! All-star artists Cover by Steve McNiven!

I think the KS link says it best: "no previous experience with Wordburgling necessary..." Just hit the link and score a copy of this bad boy. It's possible there's even a one-pager from an artist you follow (it's me! I'm the artist you follow... Or it's others, because you should follow 'em all)!

FUNDED IN 4 HOURS?? THANK YOU!!!! We are now cleared for STRETCH GOALS Let's goooooo www.kickstarter.com/projects/the... Shout out @jasonloo.bsky.social @iamkalman.bsky.social @brendahickeycomics.bsky.social @angoranapkin.bsky.social @wackartwork.bsky.social @signalnoise.com

Realized I didn't report this... One of the more intense covers to draw... A deep dive on an album I was less familiar with. Speaks volumes of the podcast that it's always worth tuning in, even for albums you may not know well... The insights are often universal.

Life of the Record@lifeoftherecord.bsky.social · last yr.

For the 15th anniversary of THE MONITOR by @titus-andronicus.bsky.social, we spoke to Patrick Stickles about how it was made. Leaving New Jersey, discovering pot and Ken Burns's Civil War documentary and taking a big swing at the rock album of the century. Listen: lifeoftherecord.com#/titus-andro...

RIP to the man in the red room. #davidlynch #ripdavidlynch

And the follow up to a Happy Birthday Bowie post, is of course, a godspeed Bowie post. Thank you for a lifetime of brilliant music, and a parting gift that has been a part of my own grieving since its release. I'm a Blackstar. #davidbowie

Another album cover, another in a line of weird artistic challenges (hand lettering)... Always fabulous shows!

Life of the Record@lifeoftherecord.bsky.social · 2y ago

For the 15th anniversary of Manchester Orchestra's MEAN EVERYTHING TO NOTHING, we spoke with Andy Hull about how it was made. Getting signed at a young age, wrestling with a new marriage and questions of faith and developing their open wound sound. Listen: lifeoftherecord.com#/manchester-...

Never miss an opportunity to re-share a David Bowie pic... Happy birthday to a sadly missed legend. #davidbowie

Finished "What's Next: A Backstage Pass to The West Wing" - a much needed reminder of the hope that can remain inside politics. Thank you Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack for the much needed reminder. (And I loved the Bartlet pin on the cover, so drew that in the afterglow of the book).

Just under the wire... my Best Of 2024. As usual - in alphabetical order. Some near misses that were great, so if your fav isn't here - it probably should be... mea culpa. Enjoy the playlist: shorturl.at/dKjUs.

This is a new idea to me, but I absolutely love it. In for a couple cocktail equivalencies.

Melissa Gira Grant@melissagiragrant.com · 2y ago

donating (the equivalent of) a cocktail to abortion funds has become a nye tradition. join me?

Speaking of Scott Arnold, aka @industristudios.bsky.social , together we co-papa’d an OGN — Joshua Jace:Minimum Wage Henchman. Come for the words (me) but stay for the art (Scott).

As I slowly climb out from behind deadlines, and start posting new art again, a few classics from my prior IG account... The 6 Fan Arts has been a great way to draw a bunch of stuff I don't normally draw...

Happy Birthday Scott Hutchison. I wish I'd been able to tell him how much sorrow his music would help me through. Sorely missed. #scotthutchison (the beard design is based on his own Owl John album art).

I got to design a poster for the Stompbox screening of Beat Street at The Revue in Toronto. Featuring a live set from @wordburglar.bsky.social and More Or Les. It's going to be brilliant. Celebrate the holidays properly with a Christmas classic!

On this, the anniversary of the first Peanuts, I reshare my Schulz tribute from his 100th a couple years ago ... Still happy with how this turned out. Still feel the same way. #peanuts #charlesschulz
