Music-core sounds like an intriguing genre. Also, Nice Pete holding the pencil to his mouth in the third frame is very nicely drawn.

IMHO
I will stay tuned indeed. And yeah, I wouldn't be too hot to stare at Nice Pete, either.
-
Apparently Lyle calls Nice Pete by his last name.
-
yeah, um, this reminds me of a band I saw last friday. This guy, who seems very nice but my friends refer to him as "zombie boy" (long hair which is always unbrushed, sticking out at all angles. blank expression. scary deep voice. lust for brains), was the singer/bass player. They played a kind of fucked-up country, with twangy dissonant guitars, a I-IV-V-on-the-nose bassline, and weird drums. He sang, and his voice was the voice of Nice Pete. he seemed to be trying to sing nicely, but his voice was so ugly, and the topics of the songs were so scary... it was basically awesome, but kind of scary. Also that afterwards this girl who I had a (harmless, shhh, it was harmless and now it is SO GONE) crush on was all up ons with him.
needless to say I am planning on asking to play guitar for them when the guitarist leaves (he is going abroad next semester.)
edit: I just remembered, he actually cut off all of his hair over thanksgiving break. it is now about as short as mine (1") and very tousled. I am not sure how we can have the same length of hair with opposite effects in terms of neatness. hm. maybe he cut his with scissors and it is uneven.

I can't imagine things going well with Lyle and Nice Pete. One of them is going to get stabbed in the neck.
Plus, if a high-strung jackass like Michael Richards can't take hecklers, can you imagine how badly Nice Pete would freak out if he got heckled onstage? I can see his little rock n' roll fantasy ending very badly.
-
So, they're starting a band that doesn't fall into any one specific genre and will be enjoyed by everyone? Guess they're starting a Beatles cover band.
-
he will be so punk that he will kill every other punk.
and then, in like 30 years, punk would come back. As a new concept, because like I said, all the punks died.
also, he will be so punk that he says that punk is a fake concept. and that if it ever was real, it died a long time ago.
(oh god, Melack, don't say that. I have some guesses of people who are going to post and say they don't get the Beatles, and think they are overrated. and then it is all over. no offense to those people, if they actually like the beatles and I am making assumptions. (WOMBY!))
-
Apparently Lyle calls Nice Pete by his last name.
Do you want to be on a first name basis with Nice Pete?
-
I wonder if it's safer to know him... or not know him.
-
Good point, Inev.
Lyle's so worried in the last frame! Man, it's all about the eyebrows.
Who's the rest of the band? Spongebob on drums and Mantonio on lead guitar (Steven the Waiter on rhythm guitar and keyboard)
-
no. no. don't you get it, man? All they need is a bass. The rest is just what you think you need to have a rock band. You don't. All you need is a singer, and a bass guitar.
-
Man, you are hell of can worthy tonight. Too bad I already gave you one for something else.
Also, you are right.
-
this is what happens when you are fueled by desperation and something in a can labeled "Monster."
let's be honest. I may have a problem I have never had before-- my paper is going to be way too long. Also, I mean, it is going to take until like 6 AM to write. Awesome.
-
So, was Animalicious also a music-core band? And can they reunite and tour with Mr. Band?
-
You'll have to get another of them "Monster" cans and go to bed early tommorow. Unless your paper is due at like two.
Edit: I got your can too.
-
yeah, at this point I am planning on staying up until the point where I can call my girlfriend and say "good morning." Probably after that, too. Oh well, this is my last day of classes, so...
and yeah, it's due at 11 AM. Realistically, I need to be done by 9:30 AM, because I have to go to Arabic in order to learn what will be on the exam.
Probably I will start writing shit and give up before that point, though. I'm real good at that (by which I mean, using my survival instinct which tells me that papers are not important, and that I'm tired goddamnit.)
-
Ok, stop: "I would like to form a band with you, if you don't mind...". My, I can totally relate to those raised eyebrows in the last panel...
-
that is totally how I will ask people to be in my band.
it's better than my current strategy of saying "ok, we're playing next, right?" after a band finishes at a show.
-
This strip... It occurs to me that it is a little scary that Onstad is so good at writing Nice Pete.
no offense to those people, if they actually like the beatles and I am making assumptions. (WOMBY!))
I don't like the Beatles. I'm the one who likes Bruce Springsteen. (Don't want people to start getting the characters confused.)
-
Facial expressions first seen here. (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=12112006)
Music made by Lyle and Nice Pete is bound to be the aural equivalent of MisterQueue.
-
I dearly hope this is the start of a story arc, not merely a one-off.

Nah, it's pretty easy, I think. Just think of last possible thing you would want to hear from a weird dude and add a touch of sincerity.
"I made you a pot pie. I would like you to taste it, I spent alot of time on this project."
-
Lyle is SO stressed out that he has to play in this band with Nice Pete.
Anyone else think they might end up sounding a bit like The Birthday Party?
-
I registered to point out that Nice Pete and Lyle are basically going to record a Jandek album.

I had no idea who that was until I read the Wikipedia entry. I am now frightened and confused.
-
Of course Lyle would own a Rickenbacker bass. There's no other way this could be.

Hell Yes (http://www.paulmcrae.com/images/Miscellany/Misc/INSTRUMENTS/PAUL_RICKENBACKER-CIRCA1980.jpg)!!! Damn, I miss that guitar (http://www.paulmcrae.com/images/Miscellany/Misc/INSTRUMENTS/CRUSHED_RICKENBACKER-CIRCA1984.jpg)
-
Dang Paul, now you'll have to connect pictures A and B with a coherent storyline. Please.
-
last time, he said that God didn't want him to have that guitar.
-
That is incredibly sad. I almost cried.
-
That is a mighty guitar, P. I feel for your loss.
-
Looks like it was sploded by a car.

Yes August, it was definnitely 'sploded by a car. I'm just grateful that I didn't get my neck broken, but the kid walked away without a scratch. Actually I did get a scratch on my elbow, but I think I did that crawling from the wreckage.
last time, he said that God didn't want him to have that guitar.
I may have been feeling a little maudlin at the time. However, I have actually had two of those guitars, that was the first one. The second one was stolen. So you know, whatever, as much as I love those guitars I don't seem to be able to hang on to them.
-

Well, that's the important thing, innit?
-
The Kid, or just some kid?
-
A tiny can of consolation to you, sir.
-
I think in this case he is the kid.
Quit confusing the masses Paul Mac!

I'm not as anti-Going-Third-Person as most people... Rickey Henderson, for example, is quite entertaining when refering to himself as Rickey... but I do think that if you're gonna go third person, one's gotta be obvious about it or at least capitalize.
If Rickey Henderson, for example, is called "The Muffin" by his wife but no one knows it, it is only going to confuse us if he says "look, The Muffin don't gotta retire, The Muffin still has it, The Muffin's gonna go play semi-pro-ball in North Dakota and The Muffin's gonna prove y'all wrong."
Let alone if he types it out as "the muffin's gonna DH for the Fargo Ploughshares"...
The capitalization would definitely ameliorate the issue.
-
Well, it's only in the caption to his avatar pane, so I can see how y'all missed it ::)
-
Ya'll just got bitch-slapped by a n00b. The shame of it.

Eh. I got to reference Rickey Henderson going third-person extensively.
I can consider that my reward, in this life or the next.
-
I totally took a can away from myself right now in penance.
Okay, I didn't, but that's just because the link to do so isn't there.
-

Gee Jough, we sure have missed your caustic ass presence.
No, seriously...

It's okay, hombre. I took care of it for you. ;)
-
Wow, you showed me.
