Here’s the thing about Aerosmith. They lost touch with their artsy-fartsy roots.
What exactly do I mean by that? Well, let’s have a gander at the classic Aerosmith logo. Continue reading

Bouillon Cube Theory
Almost every single aspect of my personality can be explained by one simple fact: when I was a kid I ate a bouillon cube.
I was too young to know better. I had witnessed the flavor sorcery that resulted when my parents would cook with a bouillon cube. Surely, I reasoned, if it made dinner taste that good, then a whole cube of it would be a trip to flavor heaven. I even imagined it might expand into a steak or a burger, like in The Jetsons. So one evening I sneaked into the kitchen, unwrapped a beef cube, popped it in my mouth, and chewed it up. Continue reading

Big Audio Dynamite
It wasn’t a Clash LP that had a stencil, it was CRASS! CRASS, YOU STUPID CARTOONIST! PUT THE BONG DOWN FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!
One of my old writing partners had a saying: “They can’t all be golden.” I think this particular strip illustrates that axiom nicely. But let’s be frank, you forgot B.A.D. was even a thing until just now.

Hole
The closest you can get to “a good Hole song” is the following. If there exists a female voice that science could prove is subconscious torture to heterosexual men, it would be Courtney Love’s. Continue reading

Bad Religion
This is probably one of the “first batch”, and it’s the first that got me hate mail. The Subhumans fan from the opening panel is M.I.A.; last I heard he may no longer be extant. Unfortunately I think Endora’s Emporium of Savannah is long gone. In the early ’90s, that was a place where I pawned CDs. It took me a few years to move up to actual pawn shops. I’ve pretty much never been comfortable dealing with other people. I think that really comes across in the sparse, robotic text I typically used in the captions of early BIULs like this one.

Ned’s Atomic Dustbin
Speaking of “did I own that once”, did I actually have one of those eyeball webcam dealies, as seen in the first panel? I might have. I really don’t care for webcams; there’s one sticking out of the front of my laptop screen, and it’s like staring into the optic sensor of a killer robot. I’m on the verge of putting duct tape over it.
“Ned’s Atomic Dustbin”, like Toad The Wet Sprocket, comes from a Monty Python bit. You’ve got internet, you go dig up which ones. I’m at work.

Radiohead
I later found out the reason behind Yorke’s eyes blinking out of sync and I really should’ve just kept my mouth shut. I doubt he gives a shit however.

Red Hot Chili Peppers
I admit this ain’t one of my strongest. Can you feel my contempt in not even bothering to draw the covers? I was pressed for time, but I also figured there was no way I could accurately render them at that small size. (I draw very small.)
