Music recommendation: "In Rainbows"
Radiohead has released a new album this month entitled "In Rainbows."
It's quite good, although not as good as OK Computer or Kid A in my opinion. It's Radiohead, though, so it's still an excellent album. And you can pay whatever you want for it (so essentially you can get it for free but I recommend throwing at least a couple bucks their way, because I wholeheartedly support what they're doing distributing the album online). So you have no excuse not to download it and give it a listen.
Comic Book Recommendation of the Week
The Best American Comics (2007 Edition) Edited by Chris Ware
I don't know what I could say about this book that isn't already in the title. This is a collection of the best comics of the year (at least, according to Chris Ware). Most of the usual names are here: your Brunettis, your Spiegelmans, your Crumbs and Tomines and Hernandezes (although only Gilbert this year, no Jaime). Just go buy it.
Highly Recommended: "Proof of Youth"
The new album from The Go! Team came out about a month ago, and I've listened to it almost every day since then. It rules! If you like 70s action movie themes, double dutch chants, or old school rapping, then you are in luck. If you don't like any of those, but think you might enjoy a combination of all three, then have I got the band for you. Here's the first single off "Proof of Youth," called "Grip Like a Vice."
Still skeptical? Then listen: they have two drummers, and the lead singer's name is Ninja. Their awesomeness cannot be denied.

Some More of These Bridgman Sketches
I haven't posted any in a while. I kind of doubt anybody cares to look at these; at least, I wouldn't care to look at anybody else doing them. They're more exercises than anything else, but I guess I put 'em up to prove I actually am doing them.
