snakebomb: Multiple Warheads #4 by Brandon Graham hit stores yesterday and concludes the first story arc. Here’s my favorite spread from this issue. It takes place in a city built on a flying whale with a sentient forest growing from its back. Brandon’s narratives do things that only comics can to the greatest effect possible. Best title on the stands this month.

doomandgloomfromthetomb: Van Morrison - Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA, April 18, 1973 1974, a late night network TV rock concert: Van and his band come out, strike a few shimmering chords, and for about ten minutes he lingers over the words “Way over yonder in the clear blue sky / Where flamingos fly.” No other lyrics. I don’t think any instrumental solos. Just those words, repeated slowly again and again, distended, permutated, turned into scat, suspended in space and then scattered to the winds, muttered like a mantra till they turn into nonsense syllables, then back into the same soaring image as time seems to stop entirely. He stands there with eyes closed, singing, transported, while the band poises quivering over great open-tuned deep blue gulfs of their own. - Lester Bangs
