Who doesn’t want a song about Squirrel Girl, right? Big ups to friend-of-the-site Erica Henderson on the Marvel gig. If you don’t remember, she did the last Rap-A-Thon poster for me (image), and she’s just a generally cool lady. Also big ups to Ryan North, who I don’t know personally, but whose work I love. If you haven’t checked out Marvel Comics’ Squirrel Girl, you should. It’s great. I wish Marvel would do more of this kind of stuff, it reminds me of the Marvel Adventures comics that used to be around. There was some great stuff in that series.
I’m generally done touring for a while. But I got some interesting shows on the horizon: This Saturday: Collector’s Corner – Baltimore, MD (info) March 27: Rutgers Geek Week – New Brunswick, NJ (info) April 4: UCLA Geek Week – Los Angeles, CA (info TBA) April 10: Univ. of North Texas GeeKon Event – Denton, TX (info TBA) April 23: The Symposium – Cleveland, OH (info) April 24: ICE Comic Expo – Chicago, IL May 2: Super-Fly Comics FCBD! – Yellow Springs, OH
Come out and say hi!
If there be anything here That cometh not in the name of the powers of light Then in the name of the powers of light let it be gone
This is an odd song – hard to parse, kind of urban fantasy, and probably about knocking California into the ocean or something. I like it a lot.
By Leslie Fish, lyrics and chords available here. There are…way too many chords in this song. Fish has a “one word, one chord” style of text-setting, but this is an extreme example of the trope.
According to the liner notes for Avalon Is Risen, the chorus has been effectively used as a banishing ritual.

Had a chance to finally read and catch up with Cameron Stewart & Brendan Fletchre’s new Batgirl title for DC Comics. Besides the fact that Stewart & Babs Tarr’s art is a joy to look at, it’s a great title that harkens back to any number of great comics that do what they do best: show what it means to be a young person of exceptional and at times, ostracizing and frustrating circumstances. If you haven’t checked it out yet, then you should take a second and give it a chance. Get Volume 1 here.
I mean, I know everyone wants me to do more DC comic songs. So here you go.

Another post-apocalyptic song by Leslie Fish, sung by Mark Heiman. This is one of my favorite Fish songs, but I’ve never actually heard it sung by her.
I got left alone in a recording studio last week, so I thought I’d do a recording of the Doctor Who song thebastardofgloucester and scribefindegil wrote, to the tune of Leslie Fish’s “Roman Centurion’s Song.” Because it’s great and I want people to hear it.
