What a little git bag!

Dearie, dearie me.

So, here’s a thing. I have been thinking that these backgrounds are actually distracting. But then, I like them, as they give context. That’s my desk. Those are my monitors. That’s my website on the left one. Manga Studio on the right. That’s my Juno D. That’s my Batman & Robin poster. But I’m not sure. So, here that same strip without the background:

What do you think?

Rah then. I spent much of today making Security, the song I’m sending to all you ATD20/Security T preorderers. See, I did have a song written in my head, and I had started a thing, but then I was sat at my desk today, and I’ve got my Juno D in front of me all the time now, and I was just hitting some keys while I was waiting for an email to send, and the sound pleased me so  much I had to record it right away, and the next thing I knew I had the basis of a whole new song, and it became Security. And I love it. It’s a story song, a true story song, and one of the most personal things I’ve done since Patrick. It’s very strange that it chose today to come out. How weird to think it would never have happened had I not said I was going to give a brand new song to people who preordered a T Shirt!

So it goes…

So anyway. It’s done, but I’m gonna wait until tomorrow to play it really loud and make sure I like the mix, them I am going to send it, as promised, to all the preorderers. So what are you waiting for?

Reserve yours now!

Oh, and in other good news,  the prototype ATD Security T showed up today! It is so choice. The organic cotton makes a massive difference, I am amazed to report. Shit feels luxury soft. Here’s me rapping in it this afternoon.

I might drop some of that footage tomorrow, I’ll see how I get on with the music.

OK, bedtime. Be safe.

PAX!

PS – today’s strip was soundtracked by RIP: A Remix Manifesto. Cheers the_otter_cast for reminding me about it.

    Keep the backgrund dude, can't explain why, typing is hard today! I went to a breer festival last night, was mint!

    I had my I am not dead T on, some old rocker dude said "want to bet?" and then pulled a knife haha, he was about 70, and only an inch blade, not scary but funny, then he came over again later and started waving a wooden mallet at me :P

    Are you getting any XXL Ts? can I have the security track for ordering ATD20? the Ts wont fit me! haha
