![]() ![]() ![]() He keys into both the despondent tone and genre-melting style of Matthews’ music at the time, salvaging and reimagining a record he loves. First, some backstory: Up until this point, Walker has showcased his brilliant musicianship across a number of records and collaborations, but it was still shocking to learn that he was covering. Walker was a DMB fan growing up in Rockford, Illinois, so this is a loving interpretation, with not a wink of parody intended. Ryley Walker has covered Dave Matthews Bands 2001 album, The Lillywhite Sessions in full, reimagining the record in his own particular, low-key, adept way and he told Stereogum its an honest. WALKER: Not at all, and that was a big point, because he changes the lyrics a lot, too. Tucked inside that venerable assemblage was a song by the Dave Mathews Band, a nod to Walker’s latest project, The Lillywhite Sessions (due out in November), a song-for-song interpretation of Matthews’ unfinished-but-widely bootlegged LP of the same name from around 2000. Tracklist: Busted Stuff Grey Street Diggin A Ditch Sweet Up And Down JTR Big Eyed Fish Grace Is Gone Captain Bartender Monkey Man Kit Kat Jam. Walker recently showed off his Deep Nineties erudition with a Spotify playlist called “van jams,” complete with songs by the likes of Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, Bailter Space and Gastr Del Sol, along with bedrock stuff like R.E.M. eventually appeared on Matthews’ 2002 LP Busted Stuff. Ryley Walker is a fluid guitar player whose songs rarely take you in any expected direction and a proud torch-bearer for the vaunted croon-through-your-beard school of indie-rock singer-songwriters. His very fine 2018 LP Deafman Glance is definitely worth your time, setting warmly abstruse mumblings to delicate avant-woodsy guitar magic, updating the Nineties experimentalism of David Grubbs, Jim O’Rourke and Smog’s Bill Callahan the way those guys modernized John Fahey, Sandy Bull and Michael Hurley for the post-Slint era. Ryley Walker :: Busted Stuff Posted on SeptemEarlier this year, Chicago-based songwriter and bandleader Ryley Walker released his fourth full-length lp, the knotty and darkly funny Deafman Glance. Ryley Walker is a fluid guitar player whose songs rarely take you in any expected direction and a proud torch.

Where did your fascination with the brain stem from? Are Jews more prone to obsess about the brain than others? It seems to be etting and subject wrapped in one. I put ideas in the “Notes” app on my iPhone, so my ideas are always with me until they get destroyed by a Salieri-like toilet jealous of my genius. What’s your process like? Do you keep a notebook handy to remember funny things that happen or that you think of? I applied for a Mad Magazine internship and didn’t get it – but the process of putting together the submission won me over to “I should be doing this from now on instead of, say, finishing my Thesis.” Blecch! ![]() One day in college, I looked around and realized everything I was doing extracurricularly (and possibly curricularly too!) was comedy-related. I got one friend who started rating the various efforts on, for some reason, a 1-7 scale. In junior high, I used to make one-panel cartoons that were ripoffs of “The Far Side,” and sneak them around. What was the first thing you wrote that made people laugh? What made you decide to go pro? Or at least, any other genre experienced sober…. The crazy visuals and weird meshing of political satire and sci-fi and comedy would be hard for any other genre to envision as easily. ![]() The two that set me off were “The Dark Knight Returns” and “Watchmen”, but the ones jazzing older-me’s cranium are Brian K Vaughan’s “Y: The Last Man,” Charles Burns’ “Black Hole,” and any of the collected volumes of Mike Carey’s “The Unwritten.”ĭid you always envision Shrinkage as a comic? What’s unique about writing for comics as opposed to the other mediums you work in? Yes, I fell for them in high school – just one more thing to aid my irresistibility to the opposite sex. I wish I’d thought of hiding them in Hebrew school books! A lot of my Hebrew School seemed to consist of learning to say Ashrei really fast – imagine if I was aided by the Flash. Sci-fi and comedy are sometimes strange bedfellows, but when they work together they double each other’s reach, whether it’s “Ghostbusters” or “Galaxy Quest” or Warren Ellis’ “Transmetropolitan” comic.ĭid you read comics growing up? Ever hide them in Hebrew School textbooks? If you could tell someone to buy five graphic novels right now what would they be? Strangelove” the “precious bodily fluids” guy. Scott’s character General Buck Turgidson in “Dr. McCrain is definitely an homage to George C. Can you give some examples of that you think might have influenced this heady brew? What creative influences come together for you with Shrinkage ? Seems like a mashing up of comedy and Sci-Fi/Fantasy influences. Strangelove vibe to crusty Cold Warrior Gen. And when I get crazily into something, I try and make my creative projects take place in that realm so I get to play there and call it “work.” In this case, I thought, “What if you turned the alien invasion genre on its antennae and made them tiny but with an arguably even better way to conquer the Earth – through its most powerful man’s brain?”Īs for where it’s headed…let’s just say there’s going to be excitement, terror, and lust – and that’s just in the amygdala! Let me get this straight: Tiny aliens invade the President’s brain, and a 3-½ Star General and a brain scientist “get shot right up the Most Powerful Nose in the Free World” to “ find and kill or be killed by the Nano-invaders!” How’d you came up with this nutty premise, and can you tell us a some more about where this story might be headed? I mind-melded with Rob about comedy, comics, and brains… mmm brains… HEEB last encountered the cerebrally-obsessed scribe when we joined him in a limo along with Dick Cavett, Dick Gregory, Al Jaffee, and the late great Joe Franklin, on their way to record the “Mount Rushmore” skit for the Kutner-produced allstar comedy album “2776.”įrom what we’ve seen so far of the ingenious and hilarious concepts and characters bursting forth from Kutner’s cranium for his first comic book effort, and the appropriately over-the-top art by Marvel / DC veteran John Lucas, we can wholeheartedly recommend your shaking your shekels in the direction of their crowdfunding campaign. What if aliens invaded… the President’s brain!!

" Bread and jam isn't much of a meal, but it's more than we had when we left Ukraine." Anything unconfirmed must go into the Theories section.* Residence origin:Īccording to various quotes in-game from the cast, Karin and the rest of the bunch came to the cabin from Ukraine. *This section is for only confirmed lore. She's one tough cookie, & a difficult walnut to crack. If Gregor thinks the glass is always half full, Karin thinks the glass isn't full enough, needs to be cleaned better and could probably use something stronger than water. She then doesn't hesitate to force Anatoly to go out of the cabin or even to chop off Gregor's limbs just so she can have more of the meat.įrom her profile: " Karin will chew you up and spit you out. After The Protagonist serves meat for the first time she is very fast to develop an obsession with it. She often complains and doesn't hesitate to point out every mistake The Protagonist makes.

Lastly, it is costly, and if you don't have the right to work in Europe, don't expect to find a carrier to sponsor a visa. FAA prep offers the chance to get a customized lesson plan from an expert on the exam youre preparing for. These minimums are generally hard set, as they involve getting approvals from the local CAA. For mine, I'll need minimum 25 hours (as I have less than 300 hours total time). Many schools will have courses for these conversions, and depending on your experience, they will require a minimum set of hours flying with them. If you want to get your IR (which, really is a must), there is a certain amount of flying that needs to be done in Europe first (believe it is 15 hours).Īlso, you'll be treated as a modular student, which has a few different minimums, including 100 hours PIC (and hours logged as PIC with an instructor also logging PIC don't count), certain cross country experience, and so on.

Don't just memorize - but try to learn and understand the material so you'll be ready for similar questions. While such things add a bit of randomness to the CAAC exam process, you can maximize your chance of success by using our app. This is unfortunately the reality that test takers have to deal with. Furthermore CAAC English-language questions are sometimes poorly worded to the point of being nonsensical or ambiguous. ![]() A conscientious student who learns the material in our app will typically find most but not all of the questions to be familiar, but may also encounter questions from "out of left field" thrown in by the CAAC.
