The 365 Days Project<\/strong><\/a> (not to be confused with the Year Long Graphic Novel Project<\/a>, which you can participate in this Saturday) was a great blog where they posted a weird audio track every day for a year… and you can still download them all<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few of the tracks on there that I’ve heard are cartoonist related, so I thought I would recommend them here.<\/p>\n

I’m Always Chasing Rainbows<\/strong><\/a> by Basil Wolverton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wolverton is one of my favorite cartoonists, and now I love his music too… if anyone has any more recordings by him, I’d love to hear them. His music fits his comics perfectly… corny, bizarre, and charming.<\/p>\n

Read more about it here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tom Glazer – That Ignorant, Ignorant Cowboy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This track isn’t by a cartoonist, but a comic book was made around it… a government-published VD education comic drawn by Harvey Kurtzman, “Lucky Fights It Through: The Story of That Ignorant, Ignorant Cowboy.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Read more about it here.<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, the Metamorpho Theme Song<\/strong><\/a>… I have no idea why this didn’t catch on like the Batman Theme.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More info here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of singing cartoonists, I caught the Roe Family singers on Monday for the second time… they now have a regular Monday gig at the newly remodeled and cozy 331 Club… every Monday night from 9:00-10:30, no cover. Conspirator Quillan Roe and his wife Kim play with Conspirator Adam Wirzfeld<\/a> on the musical saw… the music is fabulous, old-timey and varied, from Fats Waller and Hank Williams covers to spirituals. It is easily the best way you could possibly spend a Monday night in the Twin Cities.<\/p>\n
