Some silly simple critters of my frens

Jet is the sin of Envy in my hell au, Soot is a worshipper of his who he makes a deal with

So cool and inspiring I'm glad and onerd to share a platform with you

Ewolf is a Detroit art world Zelig, but in the 1990s, he played in and took photos at the rock shows of a very busy Motor City trash-rock scene. Check out my interview with him for Please Kill Me.

It was spring, 1999. New Bomb Turks had just returned from their first tour of Australia in a suspended animation. They soon procured ace drumsman, dessert aficionado [not a typo], and all-around great guy, Sam Brown. It suddenly felt like a brand new beast, but they had an album to deliver forthwith, and nary a new song in sight! Nails were chomped to the cuticle, empty beer cans sat in the corner mocking us…

Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes (or at least like a bartender finding another unopened bottle of mezcal at last call), New Bomb Turks soared again. Within four months (May-August 1999), Sam slipped right into the NBT stool, 12 new songs were cooked up easy as fryin’ an egg, and they were back on the road with the Hellacopters to hash those new ones into place.

By the time the band got to Jim Diamond’s Ghetto Recorders studio in Detroit – his rep revving up from production jobs with the curdled cream of that Detroit trash-rock scene (Clone Defects, Detroit Cobras, Dirtbombs, White Stripes, Andre Williams) – New Bomb Turks were piqued like a baby screamin’ for a higher push on a swing set.

Over four days and nights, the band enjoyed their easiest and most fun recording session – the only break being a jaunt over to a bar to see a reunited Real Kids, their first show in years, which floored the band and only added more mezcal to the fire.

Final mixes were left to Jim Diamond, and by the time he forwarded them to the band, overdub ideas had hatched, and about half the record was remixed with local studio wiz, Jeff Graham, in Columbus. A middle ground was eventually found, and what resulted was Nightmare Scenario (Epitaph Records, 2000) – the fifth album in their six album/three compilation catalog, and the one the band believe is their best.

Like every band ever, the years have supplied moments of mixing rumination. So last year, when the band saw the 20th anniversary of Nightmare Scenario right up on their ass, they asked Jim Diamond if he had his original mixes lying around his palatial estate. He found them on a DAT (look it up, kids) tucked underneath a pile of professional recording deck manuals (i.e., old MAD mags). Lo and behold, they were even more ripping and burning and stinging than remembered. There was the 20th birthday idea, screamin’ like a brat!

So here you have the original mixes of Nightmare Scenario that Jim Diamond finished in November 1999, ensconced deep in his legendary, now torn-down Detroit digs. Ain’t saying it’s better than the original, just leaner and meaner. But don’t take our word for it – take yours when you’re screamin’ along too!

My drawings from @aninonimosstuff-blog’s whiteboard!

The whole gang was there! Ewolf, @lazymonth, and @barrel-of-bones-and-brain-worms!

I drew my boys ft. Dash being a little petty

The rats. The gang made a homeless au for Month’s tfe twins as a joke in a stream a bit ago, she drew them and they’re just the most adorable little rats💖

The last sketch I managed to squeak out before my ipad died. Since they’re not celebrities, Phantom isn’t scared to approach them (just the thought of approaching anyone famous makes me panic lol)

All my closest friends💖💖💖

So this piece is exploring a style of a newer friend I made who’s like, crazy good. I’m gonna try shading this too but I haven’t had time to work on this and I know its gonna take a few days working on it so all my fwens get this wip

It is dooooneee!

I spent all day on this and man am I proud of it!

Its my persona visiting Steamy Skyland to see the twins preform, not knowing Turbo is hiding out there. It feels so good to dedicate a day to a digital drawing I’m proud of. I am especially proud of her outfit

(I am terrible at keeping up with news so its canon that she only knows Turbo and the twins fought and not much else)
