WINTERVALFESTIMAS :D :D
Tomorrow is Winter Solstice/Yule. Friday was Islamic New Year. We've just had Hannukah. Christmas is next week. It's all go on the winter festival front, probably because it is the end of December. This pleases me well, because I love this time of year. It is my favourite weather, too: SNOW!! I love snow. I spurn everyone who isn't, because it's amazing. I could wank on and on about snow forever. There's pictures of the snow tank I made on my Flickr. But I digress.
This post is to share with you a little bit of festive music! And a non-festive music, too, but I've been listening to it a lot, so you get it in the mix, because I am a generous god.
Have you heard of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society? Among lots of other cool things, they make music! Lovecraftian filk, to be precise. I get out the Scary Solstice CDs every year, and this year, I actually bought copies, as opposed to listening to lolpiracy, and I got SONGBOOKS and a TENTACLE STOCKING. How cool is that? Anyway, here's two tracks from them:
Death To The World
Death May Die
They have sillier things, but these ones make me grin like a fool, so you get those.
This next thing is my absolute 100% top favourite Christmas song ever. It's a version of O Holy Night that simply should not be. The story goes that it's a legitimate audition tape from a guy who wanted to do Christian music fo' srs. It's absolutely terrible. It's one of those amazing things that, just when you think it can't get worse, IT DOES. By a lot. I love it. Every time I listen to it, I practically cough up my lungs laughing. It never fails to get me proper Christmassy in double-quick time. :D
O Holy Shit Night
Now, the next thing isn't to do with Christmas or Winter at all. It's a parody of Lady Gaga's Pokerface, but about a typeface called Neutra. It has a video here, featuring some very attractive bearded nerdy boys with a passion for graphic design. For bonus awesome, check out the other things they do! They're very talented. :) So here it is, then:
Neutraface
That's it from me. Art continues apace, as always; loads of projects still chugging along because I never stop, and if you've participated in Project Motherfucking Christmas Card Marathon on Twitter/flocked IJ, please let me know if/when you get your card!
NOW GO AND ENJOY THE FUCKING SNOW.
PS. Where The Wild Things Are is amazing. I'm going to see Avatar tomorrow. I expect that'll make me cry, too. Monsterrrrssss<3
current mood: excited

Six things post!
Because I feel like it. Six things that have made me happy today!
1. Superdrug's Moroccan shower gel. It actually smells of desert sand and warm stone and sweet spices, and if I close my eyes and sniff I am instantly mentally teleported to somewhere that's all red and golden and sunlight and silk and sand, and it is absolutely delicious. I need to go and find out what else they do in the same range.
2. Koi is currently playing W.A.S.P.'s The Headless Children album, which I haven't heard in some time and had forgotten how much I unreservedly love. It was the first W.A.S.P. album I ever bought, on battered vinyl fished out of a discount box in one of teenage!Rath's local record stores; I had no idea what to expect from it, but I was grabbed by the sinister barbed wire and flame-wreathed skull on the cover, so. Turned out to be one of the best purchases I ever made, and pretty much set my taste in W.A.S.P. albums for the rest of time. I'll always love them best when they sound like they did here, perfectly balanced between feral rock'n'roll and a viciously sharp awareness of the world around them, dripping blood and spitting fire to disguse the lifetime's worth of pain and hunger that you can hear lurking somewhere just beneath the surface of those shredding jet-black riffs and screaming leads. I know the world of metal will be arguing about the respective merits of W.A.S.P.'s different aspects until the end of all things, but for me, they were fucking perfect right here. ♥
3. I have an epic heap of spiritual-creative inspiration, thanks to Koi telling me stuff about the Slaaneshi cult that lives on one of its headworlds. I now want to do vast amounts of embroidery. And I will, as well, if Koi draws me the pictures I need so I can turn them into patterns...
4. I am also struggling to stop giggling, on account of said headworld also containing a lot of folk tales that Koi has been telling me. Some of them filthier than others:
"I'll cut off your head!"
"I haven't got a head!"
"Then I'll cut off your arms!"
"I haven't got any arms!"
"Then what have you got?"
"KNOBS!"
...you want an explanation? You'll have to wait till I stop laughing. ^_^
5. These little guys, who have taken over my life since I got them on account of being so cute I literally can hardly bring myself to put them down. I am wrapped around their little furry fingers, seriously, I tell you. ♥ And we have all kinds of plans up our sleeves... well, my sleeves, anyway, since, y'know, neither of them have any...
6. I have pink rhinestones on my trousers. No, really, I ACTUALLY DO.
Okay, okay, that's enough. Time to work... *scrams*
Love,
Rath
current mood:  happy
current music: W.A.S.P., Lake of Fools

God, two in one month? I'm spoiling you. Mostly this is shit I've drawn at work on the backs of condom box lids. I'm amassing a collection of them. When I have about a billion, I will string them all together and hang them off something. It'll be like modern art only more condom-y. Why I don't have my own corner in the Tate Modern right the fuck now, I simply do not know.
No porn in this (I censored it! Really! I have actually drawn a thing that made me go "Oh, god, can't post that to the internet CROP CROP CROP") but there is a bit of nudity.
Some of the pictures are big big big, because I was all, "FUCK YOU RESIZING" because that loses detail. I like detail.
( Condom lids, a birthday Troll, and a comic about me. [+11, NSFW] )
ENOUGH! I must CONSUME FOOD. Comments, questions, insults, offers of oral sex or punchs in the face all horribly welcome, as always. :D
