David Hillyard And The Rocksteady Seven - Playtime

[capsandbottles97]

Music Nerd Stuff

@punkrockmixtapes was bored at work, and looking for distraction, decided to talk about shows. And I ask you, what’s better than that? Here are my thoughts -

First Concert - I always remember it being The Beach Boys, in I think, 88.

Last Concert - Off top of my head, pretty sure it was Dave Hillyard & The Rocksteady 7

Most Surprising Band You’ve Seen - I wish I had a better way to jog my memory, about all the bands that I’ve seen, than ticket stubs. So just for arguments sake, to offer A name, I’m gonna say it was Radio 4. I saw them open for Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, and I don’t think I knew them beforehand. They were an awesome band. And from what I remember, they put on a really great show

Worst Show - hands down, Blues Traveler. I think it was on the tour for Four. Loved their first three albums, though I forget what I thought of Four(I wanna say I didn’t like it), but I’d never seen them before. I don’t know how I measure up to their typical fans, so that may have had something to do with it, but I was so bloody bored. I remember not staying for the whole set.

Loudest Show - I don’t remember. I know there’s been at least one, but who it was, is completely escaping me.

Band You’ve Seen The Most - either Rancid or The Slackers. It might be The Slackers

Best Show - Jimmy Cliff. It was soooooooooo fucking good.

Happiest To Have Seen - Samiam. They don’t come east too often, but I’ve been lucky enough to see them a handful of times.

Wish You Had Seen - Stone Temple Pilots. They were my big 90’s band, but I never saw them live.

Next Show - that’s a very good question. Bands I’d like to see that are coming through before the end of the year, The Delta Bombers, Jimmy Eat World, and Botch. To name but a few

Vinyl #1 – The Premiere Issue of Wagner & Hillyard’s Series Ticks All the Boxes for a Promising Double-Platinum Hit from Image Comics.

Vinyl #1 starts off with lots of blood and gore and ends with the promise of more to come in 12-Gauge Comics’ new original story about a serial killer with a penchant for physical media and the songs pressed upon them. The story opens up with a retired FBI agent named Dennis getting kidnapped by a cult of femme fatale flower children in front of Walter, whom Dennis is supposed to arrest.…

The latest vlog, literally uploaded today! Stoked with this new one - awesome friends old and new playing here, from my own bandmates in FDG, to friend's bands we used to play alongside, to new friends in two countries and Dave from The Slackers too. In that thumbnail, members of all those bands are on this collab, and I could have picked so many random CDs from the shelf behind me and still said the same thing - can't put into words the feels that very fact gives me! A lot of me has gone into this project, and at the same time I've seen SO much positivity amidst adversity from our global music scene, really just very proud to be one part of so much new music that has come out of 2020, so many new connections, new friendships, new groups, all of it! For those yet to embark on their collab path but that want to, there might be some useful advice in there (there might not!) but I'm stoked to look ahead to our next release and journey following the release of "The First One", our first collab album, and we'll be down there in the thick of it with you all when you do go for it Big up to everyone that's joined in, I can not WAIT for you all to hear it!

New York City Jazz Playlist

A variety of styles from a variety of eras, but all fantastic jazz made by New Yorkers, either native or transplanted. Clocking in at under an hour, these ten tracks span the late 1930s to the late  1990s, mixing vocal tracks and instrumentals, live performances and studio tracks. There’s a bunch of legends like Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis, as well as a couple lesser-known artists like Dave Hillyard sprinkled in. The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, also finds herself on here, a couple years before she would launch into the stratosphere.

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible and links are provided below to songs that have been posted about previously in order to give them more context:

Glen Miller - “Glen Miller’s in the Mood” Louis Armstrong - “Mack the Knife” Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - “Moanin’” Miles Davis - “So What” Tony Bennett - “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” Stan Getz - “The Gril From Ipanema” Aretha Franklin - “Love for Sale” Buddy Rich and His Orchestra feat. Dizzy Gillespie - “Two Bass Hit” Weather Report - “Birdland” The Dave Hillyard Rocksteady 7 - “Playtime”

Playlist is also on YouTube and YouTube Music, with three extra bonus tracks:

Billy Taylor - “I Wish I Knew” The Cannonball Adderley Quintet - “The Sticks” Cannonball Adderley - “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy”

More to come, eventually.

A sunflower-farmer death cult and serial killers inhabit the world of ‘Vinyl’

The new Image Comics miniseries by Doug Wagner, Daniel Hillyard and Dave Stewart debuts in June.

[eddycurrents]

For the week of 10 June 2019

Quick Bits:

Age of Conan: Bêlit #4 sets up a rivalry with a high priest from Stygia in this penultimate issue. Tini Howard, Kate Niemczyk, Scott Hanna, Jason Keith, and Travis Lanham guide us through more of Bêlit’s family history and hints of madness.

| Published by Marvel

Age of X-Man: Marvelous X-Men #5 is the first of these minis to reach their end, but it’s far from a conclusion. While the team and Psylocke find out the nature of reality as everything starts unravelling, much still remains hanging, and the conclusion is set for Age of X-Man: Omega. Great art from Marco Failla and Matt Milla.

| Published by Marvel

Amber Blake #4 concludes what has been an entertaining thriller from Jade Lagardère, Butch Guice, Mike Perkins, Dan Brown, and Robbie Robbins. Some nice twists and surprises as this story ends.

| Published by IDW

Archie #705 is part one of “Archie & Sabrina”. I quite like the change to the trade dress to reflect that, giving the appearance of a limited series for the arc, while maintaining the ongoing numbering. Nice Spencer, Sandy Jarrell, Matt Herms, and Jack Morelli do a great job moving through Cheryl’s “Bachelor” plans to hints of things to come, along with impending conflict between Betty and Veronica.

| Published by Archie Comics

Batman & The Outsiders #2 spotlights the battle between Ishmael and the team as he goes for Sofia. Great art from Dexter Soy and Veronica Gandini. The little bits of occult belief and practice Bryan Hill gives to Ishmael are interesting.

| Published by DC Comics

Bronze Age Boogie #3 is another fun issue, pitting Li against Lynda for the Martians’ amusement. The pieces are all coming together nicely. Also, the “Major Ursa” back-up is just about the best thing ever.

| Published by Ahoy

By Night #12 is a bit of a weird one for the conclusion to this series, focusing almost solely on our side of the rift and what happens down the line for everyone. Still, this has been an entertaining series from John Allison, Christine Larsen, Sarah Stern, and Jim Campbell. 

| Published by Boom Entertainment / BOOM! Box

Calamity Kate #4 brings this series from Magdalene Visaggio, Corin Howell, Valentina Pinto, and Zakk Saam to a close. It’s still a bit of a head-scratcher, wondering how much is real and how much is a manifestation of Kate’s issues with her break-up, but it’s entertaining.

| Published by Dark Horse

Detective Comics #1005 concludes the Arkham Knight’s “Medieval” arc from Peter J. Tomasi, Brad Walker, Andrew Hennessy, Nathan Fairbairn, and Rob Leigh. It’s really weird seeing Anton Arcane as anyone’s lackey, but that aside this is still a decent conclusion. The art from Walker, Hennessy, and Fairbairn is incredible.

| Published by DC Comics

The Empty Man #8 is the end of the series. For now at least. It’s a satisfying conclusion for this horror story from Cullen Bunn, Jesús Hervás, Niko Guardia, and Ed Dukeshire, even as it leaves hooks for the possibility of more. Very interesting bits of body horror and ideas about infection.

| Published by BOOM! Studios

The Flash #72 continues “Year One” from Joshua Williamson, Howard Porter, Hi-Fi, and Steve Wands. Once again, the artwork from Porter and Hi-Fi is phenomenal. The layouts, the action, the sheer visual storytelling is incredible.

| Published by DC Comics

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #7 is the first part of “Feast or Famine” from Tom Taylor, Ken Lashley, Nolan Woodard, and Travis Lanham. It’s May’s grand reopening of the FEAST shelter and it appears as though people are angry that it’s happening.

| Published by Marvel

Gogor #2 is possibly even better than the first issue, giving more focus to the tale even as Ken Garing does more world-building. This is a very interesting fantasy story, with fascinating characters and regions, and beautiful artwork.

| Published by Image

Hawkman #13 gives us a single-issue story from Robert Venditti, Will Conrad, Jeremiah Skipper, and Richard Starkings & Comicraft on the endless cycle of war. It’s a good bit of decompression following “Cataclysm” and Bryan Hitch’s run, using Carter’s endless resurrection to show the toll of battle on one planet.

| Published by DC Comics

Immortal Hulk #19 is another incredible issue in this amazing run, with Al Ewing, Joe Bennett, Ruy José, Belardino Brabo, Paul Mounts, Rachelle Rosenberg, and Cory Petit delivering hard on the new Abomination and Harpy. The body horror aspect of this story is ratcheted up even higher.

| Published by Marvel

Infinite Dark #7 looks like it’s building for a catastrophe for the end of this arc at a magnitude even greater than losing the outer ring in the first arc, as the remaining portion of the station gets plunged into the dark here. The level of tension that Ryan Cady, Andrea Mutti, K. Michael Russell, and Troy Peteri are creating here is about to explode.

| Published by Image / Top Cow

Joe Golem: Occult Detective - Conjurors #2 sees Joe brought back to life by Simon Church, against the objections of Simon’s ghost friends, and sets up the road to what looks like might be a new status quo, bringing forth an old direction. Great art from Peter Bergting and Michelle Madsen. I really quite like the murky appearance of the underwater scenes.

| Published by Dark Horse

Justice League Odyssey #10 gets a new logo while the team continues their search for relics for Darkseid. Also, more intrigue as they still don’t exactly know whether they can trust one another. Dan Abnett, Daniel Sampere, Juan Albarran, FCO Plascencia, and AndWorld Design are telling an interesting story here.

| Published by DC Comics

The Life & Death of Toyo Harada #4 enacts Angela’s plan on the rest of the team with explosive results. It’s interesting to see everything burnt to ash along the way. The flashbacks into Harada’s life this issue are illustrated by Diego Yapur and they’re worth it on their own, but you also get the present day material beautifully rendered by CAFU.

| Published by Valiant

Outer Darkness #7 begins the second arc from John Layman, Afu Chan, and Pat Brosseau. We get a little bit of Rigg’s past, more of the crew’s aggressive behaviour towards one another, and a rescue mission as an 18th century mansion tries to swallow another ship. This is the good, weird stuff.

| Published by Image / Skybound

The Punisher #12 begins Frank’s trek back to New York in the first part of “War on the Streets” from Matthew Rosenberg, Szymon Kudranski, Antonio Fabela, and Cory Petit. Great art from Kudranski and Fabela as Frank fights off a squad of Hydra goons on a remote island.

| Published by Marvel

The Ride: Burning Desire #1 returns for The Ride’s 15th anniversary, with a lead story from Doug Wagner, Daniel Hillyard, Laura Martin, and Ed Dukeshire, and a back-up illustrated by Adam Hughes. Nice set-up picking up on where Vega is now fifteen years later. And more depraved cops.

| Published by Image

Silver Surfer: Black #1 is another leg in Donny Cates’ redefinition of the Marvel Cosmic, joined here by Tradd Moore, Dave Stewart, and Clayton Cowles. This reminds me a bit of the George Perez/Tom Grindberg run from ages ago, with some incredible artwork from Moore and Stewart.

| Published by Marvel

Sonata #1 is a fairly imaginative sci-fi/fantasy debut from David Hine, Brian Haberlin, Geirrod van Dyke, and Francis Takenaga. It introduces us to to races of colonizers in the Ran and the Tayans, bringing conflict with them as they try to carve out new lives on Perdita. Beautiful artwork from Haberlin and van Dyke.

| Published by Image / Shadowline

Star Wars: Vader - Dark Visions #5 closes out this series of takes on different perspectives on Darth Vader with a barkeep suffering hallucinations as he tries to flee from Vader’s wrath, from Dennis Hallum, Geraldo Borges, Marcio Menyz, and Joe Caramagna.

| Published by Marvel

Supergirl #31 is pretty much concurrent with Superman #12, though you should probably read Superman first if you’re reading both of them. There’s no need to read both, though, as it stands well enough on its own. This one presents the reunion of the House of El from Kara’s perspective and then continues on the battle against Gandelo.

| Published by DC Comics

Superman #12 reunites the entire House of El amidst the battle with Rogol Zaar and the fleets trying to kill Jor-El. There’s foreshadowing of more “everything you know is wrong!” about Krypton’s destruction and Superman’s origin, which may or may not rub you the wrong way, but I find it entertaining. Especially with the beautiful artwork from Ivan Reis, Joe Prado, Oclair Albert, and Alex Sinclair.

| Published by DC Comics

Transformers #7 is part one of “The Cracks Beneath Your Feet”, with Brian Ruckley, Angel Hernandez, Andrew Griffith, Anna Malkova, Joana Lafuente, Josh Burcham, and Tom B. Long picking up again in the present, following up on the second recent murder on Cybertron. It’s fairly morose, as you’d expect, as Bumblebee laments the loss of the new spark, Rubble.

| Published by IDW

Trust Fall #1 is a great debut from the Dead Letters team of Christopher Sebela and Chris Visions, with Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou providing his usual outstanding lettering to round out the team. It’s another crime drama, with the interesting twist of a family member with teleportation powers. Visions’ art is amazing and the hook of the family being set-up to fall right as they’re ready to move on to bigger and better waters is enticing.

| Published by AfterShock

V-Wars: God of Death feels more like a tease than a discrete story. The good news is that you don’t need to have read any of the previous V-Wars stories, as this fills you in on what you need to know, the bad news is that there’s no indication as to anything else coming next. Still, great art from Alex Milne and Brittany Peer.

Vinyl is an unsettling tale of psychopaths, sweet love, and a serial killer named Walter #Comics #ComicBooks

Plastic creators Doug Wagner and Daniel Hillyard return with Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart for a new dark comedy/horror titled, Vinyl. The six-issue miniseries will launch from Image Comics this June. When Walter’s best friend, the FBI agent charged with his capture, is kidnapped by a death cult of all-female sunflower farmers, Walter finds himself deep within an underground…
