recommended reading - Warren Ellis trades.



with a couple of days off, I've been doing a bit more reading than ususal. Now, I usually dig Warren Ellis' comics - so this might come as no surprise... but here are a couple of recommendations.

FreakAngels. The first collection of the free online comic from Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield. The synopsis from wikipedia:

"Freakangels is set in a time after London has been flooded. A group, called the Freakangels, live in Whitechapel and their life encounters a dramatic bump when a girl called Alice arrives one day, bearing a shotgun and a grievance against one of their number. Ellis' synopsis of the plot involves characters "living in a post-flood London that they might possibly have had something to do with."


Black Summer. A done in one collection of the mini-series from Warren Ellis and Juan Jose Ryp. The synopsis from wikipedia:

"The miniseries alternates between flashbacks detailing the origin of a superhero team called The Seven Guns, and the present day, where one of their members kills the President of the United States. The Seven Guns are "an association of politically-aware young scientist-inventors", who create their own superhuman enhancements through extreme body modification experiment..."


if you want to take my advice - head on over to you local comic shop or check out amazon.com for FreakAngels or Black Summer. enjoy!

Paul Johnston - Smoke Filled Adventures


I've been in touch with good guy Paul Johnston the past week or so... if you're a regular listener to Solid Steel you'll remember this mixtape! He calls it "Smoke Filled Adventures"... and it was one of my favorite shows from 2007.

here's what the Solid Steel guys had to say about it at the time: "Crash bang wallop Out of nowhere comes a guest mix that's just a little different! Smoke Filled Adventures by Paul Johnston... a complex beast that pays homage to the lost art of the pause button mixtape. There's a certain charm and humour here it makes no great claims of technical dexterity but more than makes up for it in the flood of soundbites and TV theme mash ups compressed into the roller-coaster of an hour. Now pass me my pipe and get yourself the podcast while you're there."

so here it is again for those of you who missed it or want to hear it again... (oh, and the cut and paste collage artwork above - he did that too!)
