Palm Strike Dance Party

FINALLY! Got my copy of Graham Elwood's latest stand-up comedy album. 

music video...

The illustrations below are interpretations I did after the announcement of the album and also after the music video came out. 

Note: I just took the title into Google Translate so, if it's wrong let me know and tell the good robots at Google because its their fault. 

Right now I'm getting to work on a redesign of his the first album. Buy that too. 

 Graham Elwood co-hosts the comedy podcast Comedy Film Nerds with Chris Mancini where lively discussions about movies happen(most of the time). 

UPDATE:  Just found out the same day I was writing this the Chris and Graham celebrated their 100th-ish episode of the Comedy Film Nerds and releasing The Comedy Film Nerds Guide to Movies book at NerdMelt.  Just look at the happy couple in this photo.

Podcast Mafia: Russell Brand

I have set up a new challenge for myself. To push my digital painting technique. I am going to do a series based on my favourite internet programs. Podcasting is still very niche especially in my corner of the world but the wealth and span of ideas being broadcast through out the world is wide and varied as well as entertaining. 

Russell Brand hosted a show together with Matt Morgan and Mr. Gee wit recurring guest Noel Gallagher. Starting in 2006 with co-host Trevor Lock and Matt Morgan starting at BBC Radio 6 and a rise in popularity prompting moves to BBC Radio 2 and the possibility of Russell considered for the roll of the 11th doctor. The show abruptly ended after October 18 2008 after a broadcasting controversy that saw the resignations of BBC Radio 2 Controller Lesley Douglas and Russell Brand a week later and guest host (BBC broadcasting icon) Jonathan Ross a year later.

Russell returned to the airwaves temporarily in December 2010 on UK based TalkSport Radio.

Listen to an episode of BBC Radio 2 The Russell Brand show from July 29 2008 here.

MAKING SOME NOISE

I started this blog essentiallly as a collection of my different interests and works. And today I am here to add my foray into the Audible arts. Voice acting. I've had an affinity for audio books and podcasts since my college days when I moved to Manila and had access to a relatively faster internet connection and the acquisition of an iPod. I still do enjoy music in my audio consumption, but I will admit to its lesser frequency of plays. As a fan of radio as medium you understand that the reason you listen to the radio is less for the music but more of the personalities eminating from the speakers. And What a personality I found that day when when I searched Comedy on iTunes on the BBC page. Russell Brand Radio 2 Show.

After that I became a fan. And the show became a constant companion during sleepless nights of finishing plates, projects etc. The internet was literally a gateway for me, the classic works of literature read by the best voices in the industry were now taking up the majority of my iPods memory space. And the number has been growing.

Then a few years back an event was held for the Local Voice Acting industry held by the leaders in the Voice Acting industry. And ever since then I have had it in the back of my mind that I could be part of this industry... now I actually have taken the initiative and have recorded my voice.

Here are a few samples:

If you consider yourself a comic book fan, you should know who Alan Moore is. I you dont, read on here.

Seeing what he looks like especially to me was quite jarring, what more the first time I heard him speak. I thought the trees of middle earth had a child in England. Anyway he appeared brefly on BBC The Wow Signal reading a message for our galactic brother. I never heard the audio but I Saw it as an opportunity to pay homage .

After which I kept to my Sci-fi bend and being a fan of Blizzards Starcraft. I went in search of its lore.

Mothership by Solo Lirios Galura

And to my utter joy while perusing one of my many favourite sites I came upon an oddity that could only happen in this generation. A theatre company know from Tennessee thought of crossing James Cameron's cinematic masterpiece with Shakespeare. They posted their script and I did a reading. I was very happy hear back from them and give me a crack at their second released script.

Terminator The Second by Solo Lirios Galura

And I have been asked to do my first reading of a short story. Which was released this month. have a listen.

Since then I have taken a bit of a hiatus, since my studies must now take precedent. But i have been able to have fun on the side.

Rest assured more is to come.
