This made me want to read the Hobbit again. 
A screenshot of my “comics” folder; it gives a good indication of what webcomics I try to keep updated on. Oh, and I wish the song playing in Winamp when I took the screenshot was more cred-giving. But hey, AC/DC are cool, and so is “Back In Black”. So I’m not complaing. (This? Oh, this is merely a good-natured rant.)
Starslip Crisis — a webcomic I started reading tonight. Obdormio recommened it on Nettserier.no, and seeing as “Olympiske Svinepelser” — his and Loki’s cooperative project — is so much fun, I decided to give it a go. And damn if it wasn’t more than a little amusing.
Today, I discovered why there’s some 1,500,000 articles on Wikipedia…
Yeah, I think that’s it.

Thanks for the kind words.

Nothing wrong about AC/DC, is it? I don’t really see it as any less cred-giving thing than anything else.

Honestly. You could’ve had some Thelonious Monk in the Winamp. Preferably with his middle name in. Thelonious Sphere Monk is the coolest name of an artist since ever. And nothing is more elitistist than jazz, and Monk is a famous jazz-componist and player. And to top it, he’s even good!
(I didn’t mean that. I became dissapointed because you read Garfield.
Garfield.
But everything else is tolerable.)
(And log on to msn so that Loki can send you the Brad Mehldau-versions of Paranoid Android and Exit Music (For a Film). And comment upon them here so that I can feel like I’ve influenced you. For good or bad. (Probably bad. AC/DC!))

I have sent them to him. If he’s listened to them yet, I don’t know.

I feel that I’m kinda making up for it by mentioning the CD I’m currently listening to — a record he and John Coltrane made together in 1957 or something.
“Garfield.”
Ouch. I’d forgotten about that one. If it’s any consolation, I don’t read it; I just have a couple of strips saved from back when I used to talk with this Polish guy who used to send me links to Garfield-strips during our MSN-conversations…

I listened to them briefly earlier this week, but not thoroughly. They were too far from what I hoped for — something like Thom’s piano intro to the live version of “Like Spinning Plates” –, for me to listen to them more. But I’ll try again when I get back to Trondheim after Christmas.
I might change my opinion about them, but I fear that I wont, what with three weeks of negative thoughts stamped on my soul, as well as that my favourite thing about “Exit Music” is the lyrics and Thom’s vocals…
Speaking of “Exit Music”, Odd Nordstoga was interviewed in Dagbladet Fredag today, and apparently, “Exit Music” is his favourite song…

Ah, yes! That’s “Live at Carnegie Hall” or something, I suppose? Great album.
And yes, it is comforting to know about your Garfield-habits (or lack of them).
Heh, if you didn’t like the Mehldau-versions on the first listening, I suppose you won’t later either. I just feel that there is something so dramatic and, well, elegant in the simplicity of his playing, compared to the fuzzy and chaotic sound that the originals have, so someone who liked Radiohead oughta hear them.

No, it’s “The complete 1957 Riverside recordings”.
As for Mehldau, it’d be an exaggeration and refer to what I did as a “first listening” — I hardly listened to them at all (I seem to remember being busy with something else at the time). So there’s a chance that I might change my mind once I actually get around to listening to them.
