The Cops - It's Epidemic

From The Cops' 2007 album Free Electricity. This was a mainstay in my car stereo for much of the late '00s, and then, somehow, it slipped off my radar. Rifling through a CD binder last week, I came across it and the instant I hit play, I fell in love again. This is one of those every-fucking-song albums, meaning every song is fantastic. Check out The Cops Bandcamp HERE.

Watch:

All I had to do was watch the first minute of this to know just how goddamn in I am. 

I'm overjoyed that Steven Kostanski is bringing back something of the Ghoulies formula and marrying it to a slightly 976-EVIL idea. It says, "In Theatres October 4th," and I can only hope this will land here in Clarksville.

NCBD:

Short list this week. 

I LOVE this cover! Also, I have to say, I'm pretty freakin' invested in this book. Really digging seeing Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows play around with Marvel history with two of its most badass characters.

My monthly grilled cheese with tomato soup on the side. I'm not even entirely sure I remember what happened last issue, but it doesn't matter. Restarting GIJOE: ARAH was just a curiosity at first, but I'm enjoying this, so I'll be sticking around for a while.

Chameleon vs. Detro. 'Nuff said. Granted, Chameleon is a character I only know through the IDW Cobra series, and this is obviously a decidedly different version, but still.

Card:

Sticking with the Thoth for a bit. Feels right:

• 5 of Cups: Disappointment

• V: The Hierophant

• 3 of Cups: Abundance

Operating systems, ideas, all networks of the mind and routine have to be balanced right to run smoothly. Adding one too many facets can tip the entire thing out of proportion. I think I'm there with something, I'm just not quite sure what.
