Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

Web Comics Examiner has put out the first part of its Artistic History Of Webcomics.

It's a cracking read, and well worth the time - there's plenty to argue with in its round table approach to criticism, but the overall result is an interesting look at some of the more influential web comics around. The participants are literate, and familiar with the medium as a whole, so are prepared to compare the web with print - and to show where things go right, and where they go wrong.

And if you're not reading web comics, it's a good primer, with pointers to many of my regular reads.

This time under their Amorphous Androgynous banner with the rather delectable "Alice In Ultraland".

Psychedelic electronic chill out that follows on nicely from their 2002 release "The Isness". FSOL describe it as an "funkoid rocktronic cosmic ambient oozescape". I think that's possibly all you need to know...

(Anyone recorded yesterdays XFM FSOL mix session? I missed it...)
