Just a cute little video for a cute little techno song: a budget version of the Sofia Coppola’s Antoinette cast engulfed in a messy food fight. The band, Acid Girls, consists of these two mustached dudes. What’s interesting about this video is that it was paid for by Toyota Scion. As part of their marketing efforts, Scion pours tons of money into the arts. But most of the artists in Scion’s stable always struck me as rather safe, rather dull. This music video isn’t “transgressive” by any means, but there’s something genuine about it that I found missing from many of the other artists on Scion’s A/V site.

The whole run of Plan B magazine has been released as a single 670Mb PDF. That’s 46 issues of some of the finest music writing of the decade. And a lot of posturing pretentiousness too. It’s like two of my favourite things for the price of one. Or none, as it’s a free PDF.
If you’ve any interest in music in the 00s, or music full stop, this is a great thing to just have on file. You’ll discover a new band every time you browse it.
Hell, it’s even worth getting if you’re one of the games journalist sorts. For the first 10-20 issues or so, I was doing games stuff for it. And Quinns and Mathew Kumar too, who I bullied into contributing. Very much written for the non-gamer about games which get pretty much no coverage, we had fun trying to decode the concept of Outsider Games.
Whole thing here. Go gets!

Back around the time of Issue 03, we launched the Small Business Advertising Program to create affordable ad space for indie companies in the print version of Coilhouse. By the time Issue 04 rolled around, the number of advertisers had grown significantly – by this time, we had record labels, jewelry and clothing designers, sculptors, other magazines, web hosts, toy makers and graphic designers advertising in our pages. Click here to see them all. With editorial duties taking up more and more of our time as the weeks go by, the moment has come for us to seek help with the advertising side of running the magazine. We’re looking to hire an Ad Manager for our Small Business Advertising Program, starting with Coilhouse Magazine #05… and possibly subsequent issues.
Full details after the jump!

“Mark Millar licks goats”? My first office-annoying laugh of the morning!
Well, to be fair, Mark Millar does, in fact, lick goats.
The plaid is a perfect touch.
“not part of a marvel comics event” — and i thank you for that. And who doesn’t want confirmation that Mark Millar licks goats.
Pure genius. I’m talking 100%, pure Columbian genius here.
Damn it! I just lost coffee thanks to this. Also dingity, and cleanshirtedness
BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA etc. etc. etc.

Ah yes, but will there be a variant cover by Michael Turner?
I was going to make some sort of comment about how I actually want to see the Nextwave team involved in that civil war thing (what’s that about? Is Captain America trying to free the slaves again? I thought we covered that.), but there was a picture of Bara on the screen and I can no longer think, just stare in a manner that is probably entirely too creepy.
I have waited all my life for this comic. Okay, actually, I have waited for this cover ever since they started that whole “Civil War” nonsense.
Good to see someone finally bowed to the tremendous pressure of snarky internet smartasses We won’t make the corporate masters regret this like that “Snakes on a Plane” thing.
So delicious I’m gonna spread it on toast…
-g-
Brilliant.
There’s nothing Marvel can do that nextwave can’t kick in the face and get away clean. (How brilliant will it be if sales have a Tie-In-style jump with this issue?)
Now, if it just said ‘Civil What?’ instead of ‘Civil War?’ (like I’ve seen on one of those banners), the cover would be perfect.
thank you, warren. thank you SO much!
xoxoxoxo
Just might be the most perfect comic book cover ever. Can’t wait to own it.
How many people will buy this issue just to protest against fan-exploiting company wide crossovers? Won’t that minor surge in sales necessarily include it into the Civil War profist push? It’s all gone a bit structuralist and boss-eyed…
ha ha ha ha

I love this series.
I’ve always been a fan of hero-team comics, but this is the best thing ever. Seeing this lot cross-over and beat up some other Marvel Heros would be great!
Cheers!
