GO BATTY

Paul Allender's PRS signature model now has a red and green finish. Dontcha just love the Cthulhu Emerald (the official color is actually emerald greenburst) color? Of course the winning cosmetic coup de grace here are the detailed bat inlays on the ebony fretboard.

And here's some live stuff of the first purple finish.

WINTER IS NIGH

HBO has ordered a whole season's worth of the first book of George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series.

This is Daeneyrs Targaryen, dragon princess, played by Emilia Clarke.

While some of the characters aren't as I pictured them in my head, the sheer production values and enthusiasm the crew have obviously put into this makes it stunning.



Can't wait to see the Greyjoys. And those zombies from the great white north.



Hmmm, Sean Bean's Eddard Stark looks a tad too much like Boromir here but I hope he pulls it off acting-wise. which he probably will.



We'll just have to wait `til late April. Meantime HBO's official website is getting exponentially more chok full of teasers and BTS stuff as the airing date nears.

Run, French bastards, run!  

SALSA PLUS METAL

Salsa + Metal = P.U.Y.A. Well, mostly nu metal and rapcore-ish stylings but still quite heavy. The guys just call it Latin Metal. There's also lots of nods to Sepultura and generally the stuff the Cavaleras have become influential for.

Didn't know this was a 90s Puerto Rican band. Discovery courtesy of Poldo. I love the video, too. Reminds me of Gani's (illus for The Magdalene Fist) style. And the attack is reminiscent of SkinDredd and other metal fusion bands. You can dance AND bang your head to it!

RESSURECTION

Darna Lives! By Gerry Alanguilan and Arnold Arre. This thing is gorgeous in full color and such a teaser. Oh, and I love the new, 21st century, streamlined itsy bitsy suit.
