dredg – Gathering Pebbles from The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion (2009)
Here’s my best attempt at explaining what happen this past weekend at the San Diego Comic-Con for us…
I missed the Avatar screening but from what I’ve heard it was phenomenal. Welcome back, James Cameron.
Got to see Terry Gilliam and Vern Troyer talk about Heath Ledger’s last film and see some unreleased footage involving Tom Waits as Satan. It looks….okay, the special effects need work and it’s a bit over-the-top. We’ll see what happens with this…
There’s this movie called Pandorum coming out that looks like garbage.
There’s this movie called Kick-Ass coming out that looks FUCKING AWESOME! Think if Mystery Men and Superbad combined into a film that was actually funny, Seriously, this looks good.
After standing on line for hours, we got to sit on the District 9 panel. Which at first seemed like a bad idea to replace the Halo movie. But it isn’t. District 9 looks like the movie of the year. I am not exaggerating. Probably the best Science Fiction film of our generation. Take my word for it, this is going to be huge.
We got to hear Peter Jackson & James Cameron talk for an hour about film and the importance of characters, story, and a thick plot. Highlight: A fan stands and says in the Q&A, “… Michael Bay…” *(booo hisssss)* “Wait wait, I know where I’m going with this”
We missed Iron Man 2 but whatever. There’s always this. (saw Favreau though)
We got badges that said ‘Professional’ (no, it didn’t get us 1st class access or laid)
STAR WARS! How cares right? Well apparently people still do and we weren’t one of them. But the crowd in Hall H went apeshit over the Star Wars Concert coming soon thanks to hype-master, voice of C-3PO and utter pretencious boob Anthony Daniels. Luckily Attack of the Show hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn made light of the hype by subtley poking fun at the cast of The Clone Wars and Mr. “Human Cyborg Relations” Daniels.
I got attacked by this monster beetle who wanted to eat my bag for some reason (better my bag than my face)
L. Ron Hubbard has comic books! This was a conversation I had with the lady at the desk, Lady at Desk: “Are you a fan of his work?’ Me: “Oh absolutely! I have them all.” Lady at Desk: “really?!?!” Me: “Oh yeah!” Lady at Desk: “Do you want a poster?” Me: “No”
Saw a MF Doom mask and was about to buy it before I realized how bizarre it would look in my carry-on bag.
Son of Robot – She Farted And Did Not Make It On The Soundtrack
In the meantime, check out our Twitter pages for updates. Also below is the reason both of us are going in the first place. I present, “She Farted And Created The World.”
You may know Son of Robot as either a 5 piece mock-hop-rock outfit from Brighton or the band that did the music for the video She Farted and Created the World (or you may not know them at all, which is likely). It may all sound a bit immature, but in reality Son of Robot make extremely catchy robo-rock that goes beyond ridiculous music videos and lyrics about sleeping with crossdressers. Download their entire Spring EP right here and be on the look out for their upcoming LP, Nipples.

Son of Robot – She Farted And Did Not Make It On The Soundtrack
Does the animation in this video look familiar to you? It should. This is the work of Kata Rokkar web designer Scott Coello. Paired with the music of his band, Son of Robot, this is an epic story about a dog who farts and creates a new universe that follows with this kind of twisted evolution within it.
The whole thing is made entirely from recycled papers. Bank statements, bills, scraps found on the street, pointless spam mail, paper the graphic kids throw out, etc.
You best bet I’m promoting my web designer’s band, Son of Robot! They created a neat little Winter EP that they’re sharing online for free. Feel free to share and listen and cherish and stuff.
Kata Rokkar is a place where you can download free mp3 from artists and bands that I currently love and listen to. They are only for sampling purposes and to influence you to go out and support these artists by purchasing their records and going to their concerts. If you are a record company or an artist that is displeased with a song being displayed, feel free to contact me and I will remove it ASAP. Thank you and enjoy!
