HIBBETTFEST
After a few years in abeyance due to Global Factors, the site manager for Hibbettfest recently contacted me with the idea of staging one final festival. This sounded GRATE to me, so it's happening on 12 August! You can find details about how to get there over on ye olde Facebook, HERE:

THE UNEARTHLY MOVIE OF MJ HIBBETT
I've now done a video for ALL of the songs from "The Unearthly Beauty Of MJ Hibbett" and stitched them together into a MOVIE, featuring a new title sequence and a less motion sickness-inducing version of "Someone Else's Turn". You can watch it HERE:

You can also watch all the videos individually, including recent ones like "Stick To The Agenda" and "People Who Stand In The Door", on the album playlist HERE:

AAS WEBSITE
The new Artists Against Success Bandcamp site continues to grow, with reissues of "The Good People Of America" by The Wandrin' Allstars and "I Preferred Their Earlier Stuff", the cassette tape from 1998 featuring me, Frankie Machine, Airport Gurl, The Bigger The God and many more. It's all available for FREE, HERE:
https://artistsagainstsuccess.bandcamp.com/

AND FINALLY
I'm currently working hard on an Actual Book about my PhD, but some of my THORTS on comics topics are very much available in this article about the future of the DC Universe, HERE:

And that's the lot for this time - thanks for listening!

Cheers,

Mark
