I’ll Add It To The List, Vol. 1
Anybody remember that bit in Captain America: The Winter Soldier where our boy, Cap, says “I’ll add it to the list”. Even though nobody has spent decades in ice (as far as I know), I think we can all relate to that line. As somebody who wants to explore as many nooks and cranny of the entertainment industry as possible, I can definitely relate. I’ve got a huge fucking list of things that I keep meaning to have a look into, but I never make the time and also, that list will never fucking end so… shrug.
There’s so many movies and shows I want to watch, books and comics I want to read, albums and podcasts I wanna listen to, video games I want to play, etc. etc. I’m thinking of creating a backlog page for the website where I would include all the things I’d like to give a listen/a playthrough/a watch/a readthrough, etc., but compiling all those things would take me forever. I’ll still create that backlog page further on down the line, but for now, this is a bit more of a bit-sized selection of books, comics, games, movies and shows that have caught my eye.
Here goes, in no particular order:
Big Freedia
High Tide’s album: Sea Shanties
Geddy Lee Asks Are Bass Players Human Too?
Popmaster TV
Limmy
Witchblade (Image Comics)
Patience (Daniel Clowes)
Earthdivers (Stephen Graham Jones)

A Girl Called Echo (Katherena Vermette)
Trillium (Jeff LeMire)
Chrononauts (Mark Millar)

The Joy of Gay Sex (Edmund White)
Spider Baby: or The Maddest Story Ever Told

Eden’s Zero (Hiro Mashima)
Fangs (Sarah Anderson)
Outer Darkness (Afu Chan and John Layman)
Southern Cross (Becky Cloonan)
Fun and Games (John Patrick McHugh)
The Bureau (Eoin McNamee)
The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band
Planetes
Otobake Beaver
Discomania: Fantastic Beats and Where To Find Them (Alan Jones)
D2 (a semi-obscure game on the Dreamcast)
Grimm Life Collective
Silver Apples
Susan' Sontag’s diaries
Garmenghast (Mervyn Peake)
Headhunter (another semi-obscure game from the early noughties)
So, there you have it. An odd and eclectic mix of comics, video games, shows, YouTube channels, bands, artists, books albums, etc. that I may or may not end up listening to, reading, playing or watching somewhere down the line.
