Hypsville365ad Playlist -Update 17


 Updates for AI music  playlist an attempt at capturing the spirit of "The Idiot  by Iggy Pop -not my first attempt at the Ig  -I've tried recreate Stooges miusic before but doesn't come close to original sound  but I'm bound to have another go at some point in time


 Zinc Doodlebug III -like Zep 3 it's half hard  rock half folk with robo mandolins and banjos although my version of Percy Plant don't sound alike (something I need to work on for Zinc Doodlebug IV)


 Soon as I saw the power of the  Portland frog (who's actually a toad ) I had to put together an EP -I wanted to do a Portland Punk band like the Wipers or Dead Moon  and I already had songs about frogs and toads  so it was a no brainer 


 

Halfway through second Sonic Yolk recording  Udio's better at the avant garde tunings


  And Halfway through second Alnight Warlocks recording  does lack that John Cale thing though  even though you try to describe it in prompts the next few songs I'll see if I can capture that


 "My Name is Bad " 1977 Elvis Concreto (Why Concreto? he's got Concrete hands that smashes guitars lol)


 


 Back to  90's Punk Rock Non Superstars "The Sell-Outs"  single released between "Nae Bother" and  1993's "Ex Utero"


 "Tonic Flour Grove" Fatal Gasps 1987 debut on Cremation records ,

 

It's not a proper Hypsville365ad Playlist without a few Silver Ramons recording these date back to a virtual 1971 as the mainstream continue to ignore the genius of the Fab Five (but what do they know ever?)


 
Shannon DeJackie and the Early Burds  1966 single-trying to come up with a Eight Miles High  type tune for next Burds album but none come near to that sound just yet.


 Needed to do a new soul record   also adding new tracks to 20 more Funk Jazz Greats


 Sequel to El Mestizo soundtrack from a few monthes ago from Lalo Morricone- should colour 2nd episode 2 someday , it'll be a big improvement on the first episode as I won't rush it  

More like a Young Micheal Stipe here but second LP from David Bonie the next one will be a blinder (hopefully)


  From Bluest Smurfchester The Smurths debut album in the works 

Quack -My Pomp Rockers kinda based on Queen


 Finish off this post with The Ooo?  and 1966 ep "Ready Steady Gone" - not sure anyone even listens to these but  I don't give a monkeys , just  having fun making them.

Judge Dredd Fanart Colouring Project -"Judge Whitey"



 

 Art by Carlos Ezquerra with my colour

The first Published Judge Dredd story now in JohnOVision colour " Judge Whitey" from Febuary 1977 in 2000ad prog 2:  Story Peter Harris and Pat Mills,Kelvin Gosnell Art Mike McMahon. Letters McGowan.


 





 So Great they even predicted Bez from the Happy Mondays who dwells on Devils Island in 2099

I'll colour a few more early episodes sometime in the future -I need to get Mega City savvy by the time I complete colouring The Cursed Earth and Anderson is good excercise for Judge Cal  which is Mega City One based story so I'll know what I'm doing by then.  I wonder about why Whitey hates Dredd so much maybe they have history?  something I may explore in my own story "The Book of the Judges" if I can jumpstart myself to write and paint it.

Hypsville 365ad Playlist Update 15-( + holiday snaps)


 Been a wee while since I updated tracks on playlist (been colouring more lately can't wait to show new stuff -theres a fair bit of it including Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowells Zenith , Judge Dredd -Judge Whitey, Star Wars -Resserection of Evil, The Sarge in Italy, Johnny Red episode 3, Charleys War , Judge Anderson plus a few Mike McMahon  star scans (to mention a few ) but maybe this ai music thing isn't as vital to me  as what it was in first half of the year, this sounds nowt like the Byrds but it's a good Electro Garage longplayer.


 Oh No (1970) by the Silver Ramons - the five original silver beatles from another dimenson  with there third LP already of the decade -released on the same day is sister album by bands wifes and other halfs The Oh No's


 
Second LP by Zinc Doodlebug the mutant offshot of the Yardbrushes 

 

The Finks on there Hols which brings me nicely around to this time last week   when I hooked up with Captain Mainwearing


 Couldn't go on holiday for a long time(last time was over 10 years ago)  as I gotta look after my mum 24/7 so I had just  two days off so had to brainstorm where I could go and settled on Thetford(which I call Fettford) as that's where they filmed Dad's Army and I live by the seaside anyway so wanted to go somewhere quiet and Dads Army like


 Outside Dad's Army museum - I went on a Tuseday it  wasn't open sadly.


 It would be cool to add statues of other members of the home guard around the town maybe have Jonesy by his butchers for example


 

 


 "Don't Panic!" 

" Doomed! We're Doomed!"

Thetford is also home of Mr Common Sense and Revolutionary Spirit Thomas Paine


 

 Also got to hang with my homeboy from darkest Peru when I was in Norwich


 Good to see Pad's got regular work on Spitting Image
