Me and Missy Elliott, 4real
Twitter makes strange bedfellows of me and Missy Elliott: My stuffy white dude avatar could not be more appropriate. Via triskaidekaphobia.
Francesco Francavilla's Captain America
Comic artist Francesco Francavilla has a number of commission sketches on his website, including this sweet drawing of Captain America. I definitely recommend browsing his site (and buying his books!) as well as his blog Pulp Sunday, where he posts a pulp-inspired illustration each week.

Getting excited about Athens Popfest 2010
After a year off in 2009, Athens Popfest returns August 10-14. I'm pretty excited about it, as my professional life has prevented me from seeing much live music lately. I'm particularly excited about veteran acts The Apples in Stereo, Mission of Burma, Oh-OK, and Your Heart Breaks, along with local favorites Madeline and Grape Soda. Show More Summary

Werewolf By Night and the Godfather of Soul
I watched the great documentary on the 1974 Ali-Foreman fight in Zaire, When We Were Kings, tonight and was surprised when a Marvel comic made a quick cameo. Not only did 1974's Werewolf By Night #23 make an appearance, but it was being read by James Brown. Hell yes.The Godfather of Soul clearly digs his werewolves.
