Benoit on The New Yorker

Benoit

Once more I would like to draw your attention to the The New Yorker : main : start Magazine. The current issue sports a cover by Benoit Van Innis, one of those rare cartoonists who can draw humorous pictures without a pun. You smile, you smirk, but you just don’t know why.

And he’s Flemish, to boot !

This Vicious Cabaret

As LinkMachineGo reports, several people have made videoclips to David J’s rendition of Alan Moore’s This Vicious Cabaret (from V For Vendetta). They do this using a slideshow with David Lloyd’s Art or with footage from the V movie that came out a couple of years ago (and wasn’t that good).

I’ll probably lose all credibily I’ve carefully built up so far, but I had never heard of David J. I knew that Alan Moore did a few songs with people from Love and Rockets, but never delved into it. But after listening to his work on his website, I’m totally hooked. This is on a par with Echo and the Bunnymen and The Jesus And Mary Chain - atmospheric, melodic guitar rock. The world can never have too much of this…
