A quick blueprint for a robot made from misc. stuff and things.
This will be my current side-side project. I will have a robot in my house shortly. Long overdo, really. If this "sculpture from junk" turns out well, I will be making others to sell. I just think it should be that sort of world.
This song came to me as I was falling asleep on the couch. I woke myself up and went straight into the studio. I wrote and recorded it in about 30 minutes because I just wanted a rough demo that I could polish up later. When I played it back though, there was nothing I could think of to add to it. So, I mixed it down and called it good. I tend to favor the songs that I record in this fashion. I guess it's because I don't have time to fret over trying to make it perfect and it just sounds more natural. Or maybe I just like my voice better when I'm sleepy.
The visuals in my head, when I wrote the lyrics, were set in a Spaghetti Western, despite the Middle-Eastern accents. A guy tells his wife he's been cheating. He's sorry and ashamed. The other woman hurt him somehow and he comes crawling back to his wife asking for forgiveness. She doesn't give it to him. So he takes her out back and throws her into an old well. It's an awful story. And I don't know that it has a moral. I just liked the pathetic and hopeless imagery of it.
Just a short while after mixing the tracks, I saw the clearest UFO I have ever seen in my entire life.
I plan on creating at least 12 issues of Edgar Rue. Maybe more if the response is promising. I have a hard time summing up this comic. A pal of mine thought it was Tim Burton meets Dr.Seuess.
I can roll with that since they are two major influences on me.
The song in the promo is called "Edgar's Theme". I wrote it with the hopes of ripping off a Danny Elfman vibe without copying him outright.
There will be a new Boron Comics website soon, featuring Edgar and other comics by myself. Until then, IndyPlanet.com is the best place to buy issues of Edgar Rue.
Because, I need to get this shit out of my head so that I may sleep. I am deeply sorry if I bore you. I am thrilled if I disturb you. I like argyle socks, polyester slacks and fine hats. When is pie?
