Sometimes a radio interview can go wacky ... especially in the world of Rocket Science

Gloom clouds seem to be dissipating, mostly by me not giving a crab's ass about FB and its unprofessional untrustworthy lame excuse for "social communication" (Next Big Thing, now please). Back in the world of It Really is Rocket Science, Musicians do radio interviews, pod cast interviews, magical ether interviews. Exposure to new ears and thanking the existing fans is important. Sometimes, though, things get out of hand. 
===========  
Disk Jockey: "So what does the Rocket Science band like best about their chosen instruments? Kpau?"  

Kpau: "Drumming burns energy almost as good as sex! I like sex! When you get right down to it, there's no point to anything. But sometimes you get to eat candy and have sex -- so that makes it all good! What was the question again?"

Sashiko: "F***in' Texas Moo! He's askin' about music! Ah dinnae ken how yer brain gets from point A ta point B without sex! I don't talk 'bout sex, ask another question. Wait ..."  

Glycerin: "Is this m-m-mike on? ... ... ... bloody ... is he ask-asking us ab-about s-s-s-sex, love? ... We has to go the 'loo! Now!"  

Blar: "I like drums and now I have to go retrieve our lead guitarist. Be right back."

 Tsika: "Am surrounded by circus clowns! Idiots! Bass guitar is my beloved instrument! Love the f***ing feel of the sound vibrating my bones! Is nice public way of feeling like being f***ed! What the f***! Is engineer f***ing bleeping me? G** D*** f***ing H***. You are **** *****. How dare you F***ing censor straight talk! Is ****ing **** *** ***!! **** YOU!!!! Interview is OVER!"  

Disk Jockey: "Anddddddd we'll go to commercial break now."

Prose to Drawings to Cartoon to Reality

It's kind of cool seeing a character I've described in a story I've written spiral into drawings, to cartoons, then to real breathing jawdropping life. I put together a couple of montages trying to convey that to use in banners and such. The one I did for Glycerin (Elisanth) worked out well. I don't really have enough pictures for Tsika (as modeled by Mamiko) to do that one properly. But she and I are going to fix that over the next few months. I know now what it costs to do it right. I'm okay with the cost. The results will last for years.

Cartoon music videos

When I was writing the story about my rock musicians, it occurred to me it would be fun to implement them in RockBand 3. I've implemented the characters in other games (these characters have been floating around in various incarnations since tabletop D&D days of the '80s).

It was not only fun but kind of amazing to see the characters animated. I also figured out how to "game" the output to improve the result.

This is a video as the band might appear in the upcoming volume 4 of the series.

Video drawing for book giveaway contest winner.

This is my first swing at a video to reach fans. My own self-assessment is I need to sit up straight, silence some verbal static and eliminate odd pauses. Whatever, winner is announced. What I find interesting is that about 99% of my Texas twang is gone (left Texas in '92). There some drag in my "R"s.
