One Way I Find New Bands

Posted In: Songs Stuck In My Head

I found this station when I was in Ireland three years ago called Phantom 105.2. Was just driving across the country when it started coming in. Had to pull over to the side of the road and start writing down names like Vesta Varro, Juno Falls, Television Room, and Cathy Davey. And then I hunted down whatever I could by the artists once I was back home.

Anyway, I check out the station’s top ten list every now and then to find new bands.

One of my recent finds (along with Villagers, The Avett Brothers, and Two Door Cinema Club) was Crystal Castles. This is what I’ve had stuck in my head the last two days. Now it can be stuck in your’s, too! It’ll be like we’re freaky twins sharing thoughts!

Crystal Castles feat. Robert Smith, “Not In Love.”

Irish Sandwiches

Irish Sandwiches

In November 2007, I went to Ireland. Saw the town my ancestors came from. It was powerful and moving. I was not impressed by their sandwiches.

At this point, the comic still was trying to find it’s footing post-Shark Train. Back then, it was meant to be much more observational/slice-of-life than it ultimately ended up becoming. Certainly I had no plan to ever use Marcus again at this point and, despite the title bar referencing pandas, I was months away from coming up with Pinder.

There were few strips from this era that didn’t quite work, and the Ireland strips do feel a little out of place now amongst the rest of the strips to come… but I still like them.
