Monkeys Behaving Badly … MWM do Comic Racks!

comicracksIt had to happen eventually. After months, even years, of snubbing us in favour of unknowns like Paul Cornell and Tony Lee, Comic Racks have finally bitten the bullet and called down the thunder that is … the Monkeys with Machineguns Interview.

Thrill … as we talk about ourselves. Gasp … as we find out about Iz’s toilet habits. Be amazed … at our choice of favourite biscuits. Shrug and say “I thought as much” … when I call Stuart a “French Duke”.

Sadly, despite our best efforts, Iz and Stace have salvaged an almost sensible sounding interview out of our tomfoolery. Listen for the outtakes though (after that Cornell guy again), where you get a true taste of the pain that Iz and Stace went through to bring you this interview.

Happy 50th guys … you don’t look a day over 45!

Mass Movement #26 ruined my life

massmovement46I ran into Tim Cundle somwhere on the internet a long time. Back then, he was just in the early stages of getting his punk rock, counter culture magazine “Mass Movement” off the ground. He was on issue 4, maybe 5.

Sometime later and Tim is still going strong. So strong, in fact, that he’s given over a page of the latest issue of Mass Movement magazine to me to complete their regular column/feature “It Ruined My Life”.

I won’t spoil the article, but obvious I talk about comics. And magic. And a certain Grant Morrison.

Enjoy.

Rick Lundeen, Harry Markos, and Chris Lynch talk about “The Dark”

Rick, Harry, and I have all been interviewed by the Hypergeek website about the forthcoming release of The Dark.

We all answered our questions seperately, and it is interesting to see the areas in which we see the book differently as well as the areas in which we agree!

A great chance to get a little “behind the scenes” peek at the workings of a trans-atlantic creative team and a trans-atlantic publisher.

And, of course, I give a few little clues away as to what the big mystery is in “The Dark” …
