We’ve got a big week coming up for area wrestling fans. First up, tomorrow night at WVSU, you can see Professor Danger, Danny Boyd himself, in action as AWA-Apex presents “September To Dismember”. Melanie and I wrote a preview of the event for the Gazz, which you can read here. I also chime in with my personal observations about Danny’s quest for honor in the ring, here. The illustrations accompanying this post are photographs by Lisa Bragg that I digitally-assaulted. The top photo is Danny, in a bad way during a match. The bottom picture is Danny applying an arm bar to Flex, who will also be in action Friday night. Late word is that Beautiful Bobby Eaton of the Midnight Express will be at the event Friday, despite having minor surgery earlier this week. It’s going to be an interesting night.
Next week, IWA East Coast gives us not one, but TWO world-class tournaments at the South Charleston Community Center. Later today, episode five of Radio Free Charleston will be online. It’s our biggest episode ever, and the voices of IWA East Coast, Kevin “Pimpdragon” Pauley and Frank Manhattan join us with previews of both tournaments, the Zero G high-flyer tourney, and the Masters Of Pain Invitational. We’ll get two flavors of professional wrestling: high-flying action in the afternoon, and sheer brutality in the evening. Kevin and Frank will tell you more about the event on RFC, and I’ll be blogging about the show all next week.

We kick off the shortened by Labor Day week with another in my series of digital abstract landscape painting variants, “Scape number 10”, which you can see at the right. As usual click to enlarge.
We’re also continuing our experiment to see if there’s any demand for my digital art in wearable or framed print form. So if you like the design, and want to buy it on a shirt or some other knick-knack, go to the Monday Morning Art Cafepress page, and do some shopping. Remember, this design will only be available for one week, then it’ll be displaced by the next Monday Morning Art. If you’re in the mood to spend money on this stuff, be sure to check the PopCult Store and Radio Free Charleston shop, too.
Richmond Virginia punks Strike Anywhere unleash a powerful new album, Dead FM, featuring high-energy politically-active melodic power punk next week. Veterans of the Warped Tour, Strike Anywhere formed in 1999, and still features their original line-up. You can check out the video for the title track from Dead FM on MySpace, but if you want to preview their music, just click on the song titles below.
“Instinct” seems to be a letter to their fans, whose grass roots support has been key to the band’s success. It’s a fine slab of hot punk, with a deceptively mellow opening before they unleash the bombast.
“Prisoner Echoes” is an intense political commentary that is not really work safe, but it is pretty strong stuff, reminiscent of Green Day’s “American Idiot.”
Strike Anywhere’s new album is available from Fat Wreck Chords and you can read their bio and check their latest tour dates here.
