Aubin: Since we renamed this feature from “MP3 of the Week” to “Editor’s Picks,” this has given me a little creative license with what I can use this space for and this is probably the most out-there example of this flagrant abuse of the rules. An Italian student has assembled a fully animated version of the beloved comic strip, Calvin & Hobbes using Bill Watterson’s designs as a reference and despite being voices in Italian (albeit subtitled) it is about the most natural looking animation of Calvin and Hobbes that I have ever seen. It’s definitely worth a look:
The Animated Calvin & Hobbes – in Italian with English Subtitles
Meg: Despite the song still being pretty rough around the edges (rightfully so), Bracewar’s recently posted “Demo 2” is just as frenetic and chaotic as any fan could hope to hear in the months preceeding the release of their debut full-length Juggernaut on 1917 Records. The band’s hardcore punk/ powerviolence concoction should satisfy fans of Ceremony and maybe even Mind Eraser. Sometimes it’s just nice to listen to music that makes you feel OK about being pissed off.

Chris: I love me some good “munk”. Mock-punk, if you will. I first heard of this band via t-shirts I’ve seen a number of people sporting. I mean come on, how could you not laugh at the name of a band that so blatantly ridicules one of the worst incarnations of “punk” we’ve ever had to put up with? Go listen to some Jewdriver and realize that the best way to deal with idiots is to laugh at them.
