It seems like only two years ago that we began the
Skwigly Animation Podcast, mainly as it has. So my time perception is functioning highly, which is nice.
This month's entry also marks our twentieth episode and doesn't disappoint on the guest front, with
Steve chatting to the spectacular
The Eagleman Stag director
Mikey Please on his new film
Marilyn Myller while
Laura-Beth brings us some insight from
Ainslie Henderson on his crowdpleasing short
I Am Tom Moody as well as his
collaborative work with the equally-talented
Will Anderson. Also featured are Vivien Halas, currently in charge of preserving the legacy of UK studio
Halas and Batchelor, and
BAA sting winner
Jack David Evans.
Also marking the anniversary is a slightly-tweaked version of our
Selections From the Skwigly Podcast compilation I originally put together for a
promotional CD last year. Featured on it are some of our most noteworthy guests from the first year, including
Peter Lord,
Genndy Tartakovsky,
John Kricfalusi,
Bill Plympton,
Billy West,
Brian Cosgrove,
Barry Purves,
Robert Morgan and
Signe Baumane among others. Since then we've been privileged enough to get such equally notable talents as
Eric Goldberg,
Adam Elliot,
Joanna Quinn,
Richard Williams,
Chris Landreth,
Daniel Sousa,
Chris Shepherd,
Jerry Beck,
Michaela Pavlátová,
Lauren MacMullen,
John DiMaggio,
Richard Starzak,
Kirsten Lepore,
Daniel Greaves and
Marc James Roels, with many more lined up for the rest of this year. I'm pretty proud of what we've managed to achieve and that we've stuck with it rather than let it peter out, which has been the fate of a lot of similar endeavours out there.
All of this is irrelevant, however, as for the third time in five years everything in my life has to take a back seat to the news that, once again:
FAITH NO MORE are back!
Granted, it's a support slot, but I'm not exactly going to sniff at getting to see Black Sabbath as well, am I? Or Lemmy, fer chrissakes?
Okay, I get it, I'm old. But in my defense, these bands were already old when I was a kid, so I'm not
that old. Just an old soul. A merry old soul.
